Little Rockstar

Some of you may remember me mentioning before that I have some background in music. Well, it's inherently been passed down to my daughter because she LOVES Rock Band. I also recently acquired the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II, a new digital SLR that is also capable of HD video capture. As you've probably already guessed, many of us professional photographers now are experimenting like crazy to learn all the new cool tricks you can do with this camera. Not to mention all the lenses we currently have in our gear bag. Anyway, on with the show...

Dads and Donuts!

Today was very special, because my Mattie's kindergarten class had Dads and Donuts Day! You know I was totally looking forward to this! 

This is a drawing Mattie did of me, the top one. See the likeness?

and these are our kid photos...

So my daughter's Kindergarten class is having a Dads and Donuts day tomorrow morning, which I'm totally looking forward to. Anyway, we're supposed to provide her teacher with photos of the dads from when they were young so the kids can try to match up which one is their Daddy. Let me know what you think...

I think the chubby cheeks give me away...

First day of Kindergarten...

Well, we knew it was coming eventually! Look out world, here comes Mattie! It was touching seeing her drag her backpack along the sidewalk as we escorted her to her first day of school. Did you think we were actually going to let her ride the bus? Ok, maybe in about six weeks...

End of Summer Pool Party...

My daughter and all her friends will be starting kindergarten in the next couple of weeks, so the parents and I decided to throw them an end of summer pool party! It was so much fun hanging out with everyone and letting the kids wear each other out! They grow up so fast... sniff!

Summer Splash Time Crazies!

I was at a pool birthday party taking photos with my plastic toy Holga camera. I figured, why do the kids get to have all the fun? Doesn't that slip-and-slide look awesome?
