    Mmm, I love this time of year. I’m a sucker for the magic that Christmas lights create. This is the tree at the office… out of focus, obviously.

    From last Friday, Feb. 26… One of the few times that I was actually heading west as the sun set, I looked at the mountains and I could see a hint of pink like there wanted to be a brilliant sunset, but I wasn’t sure I’d see one. Only moments later the sky exploded. I…

    Wow, it’s December already. This pic feels cold enough… it was taken June 5, 2009. Jeff was in town for a few days and so we decided to go on a hike. Being June we really didn’t think anything of it– we showed up to the base of the trail with t-shirts and shorts on.…

    Another from the Carlsbad trip. Don’t have time to do more, but I’m definitely stoked to edit more from this trip now. I had 2 lenses I shot with in Carlsbad with my 40D, the 10-22mm, and the 100mm macro (didn’t / still don’t have anything longer than that). Particularly I’m looking forward to a…

    I never really did get around to processing and posting any of the photos I took while camping at the beach in Carlsbad, California last year. (Story of my life). I think this was taken sometime in the morning. I had to think for a moment to remember whether I had made it to any…

    Don’t let the picture fool you, I don’t miss summer *yet*… I’m enjoying the cold air, it evokes a Holiday spirit which I love. Come January… different story 😉 I have taken so many photos that I’ve never really touched after taking. I took this one over a year ago with a camera and lens…

    A couple weeks ago I went on a photowalk that was organized by some local photographers and sponsored by a local photography company called Pictureline (the candy / toy store of photography nerds… love that place.* They had managed to procure Lensbaby lenses for over the more than 60 photographers that showed up to use.…

    It’s been kind of a busy day. I wish I could curl up and doze, though maybe not on the Wii fit with Wii controllers. It’s just too adorable his paws are crossed like that. (Taken exactly 2 months ago.) 35mm, f/1.8, 1/100, ISO 800.

    This one was taken on October 18 as well, over on that branch of Wasatch that curves over to Little Cottonwood Canyon.

    A still-life shot from that wedding. Originally didn’t think it was that interesting, but I dunno… I like it. I was stressed enough that day that I don’t think I fully appreciated this little table setting… look at the geometric, hard, smooth, shiny surface of those candles compared to how organic that pot and flowers…

    I recently put a new machine together primarily to better facilitate photo processing. I have an external hard drive that I store all my photos on, and well… using a laptop for my main computer for the last 3 years, it’s not usually convenient to hook an external drive up to it, so photos get…

    I’m sure there will be a plethora of Addie b-day photos coming on various sloanie blogs and facebook profiles, but here’s a couple that I captured yesterday as we celebrated Addie’s first birthday on Memorial Day. Hard to believe she’s been around for a year now… This might be my favorite image from the night,…

    A couple pictures for the day. Taken back in mid-March at Este’s when we were there for Kato’s birthday dinner. Addie turns 1 here in just a few weeks! Where does the time go? She’s already grown so much. I love how wild her hair is in this picture– it was like this for months…

    At times I have so many things going through my mind. I often want to spill them out onto the blog. (Today was one of those days, as I drove home from school pondering different dialogue I’d encountered throughout the day). Either way, I came across this quote a few days ago for the second…

    Yes, I said that once by accident. What I had meant to say was that it was interesting showering in the dark, in commenting on a recent power outage… but of course Jeff and Steve never let me live that one down, hehe. I showered by candlelight this morning, good times showering in the dark.…
