Its actually kind of funny how well he and Capone do together. I think Mason wants to play, but Capone really just wants to be on his own. They’re gonna be friends, some day.

I think he may have an overactive bladder, seeing as he likes to go out every couple of hours. Although, he did great last night which was his second night. I think he was calmed down and finally hydrated normally. At least he knows to communicate that he wants to go out by going to the door and giving a little whimper.

I better save some Mason stuff for later, so here he is (plus some extra photos).

Anyway, I finally took a few minutes to ride my bmx. This of course resulted in me taking a few pictures with the borrowed lens. This is the first time in a while that I have truly hurt after riding, I think between lifting boxes and moving stuff around for the past week, it didn’t take much real physical activity to completely wreck me. Ugh, even after some advil and a few hot showers I still hurt. But then again, the built-in shelves we built today only made it worse. More on that tomorrow…on to photos.

I really like this shot, Stephen looked seriously determined

This spot is one of my favorites, I have taken quite a few photos and riding here even more!

Since moving into the new house, we haven’t had to keep Capone is his cage. He has found a new spot to chill all day. Lucky for him, because the day he tears up the couch, or anything for that matter, he will have to go back to the cage. Here he is doing what he does almost 90% of the day… (we clean this at least once a day)

Today, we caught him with a little piece of paper at the corner of the bed. Of course he ran to the back corner of the bed to hide and you could hear him walking across the paper and whatever else he had back there. So we pull out the storage container that was blocking our view and there it was, Capone’s hidden treasure.

Here he is, standing with his findings

Here he is too scared to come out

It almost didn’t come out due to the fact that I had the camera setup for the flashes, and the flashes weren’t exactly pointing at him. The flash bounced just enough to make it come out.

Also, you’ll see on these photos that I am using a new “signature” at the bottom. I wanted to include the EXIF data on the image and be able to automate it. I decided if I used a light background with dark-ish type over it, that it should show up on any photo. Whoever reads this, let me know what you think. What would you change or really anything.

This is our dinner table, I’m pretty sure it is from Wendy’s. My parents recovered the seats and had them powdercoated.

Well, I thought about it all day long and kept getting more and more excited. Then when I got home I started setting up my gear and playing around while Shauna readied herself.

I figured we would take them in front of our “tree” and presents. So we sit down, I set up the camera and take a few test shots. Instantly, I was irritated because nothing came out like I had been envisioning all day. So I mostly just took random photos of Shauna and Capone. To beat all, none of the ones I took with Shauna and myself were in focus! I was so disappointed.

So here are the ones that I could salvage…

This was one of the test shots I took while Shauna was getting pretty. I like this one a lot for some reason.

This was one of the test shots. Even though I was looking through the viewfinder, I still managed to take this one OOF (out of focus).

Capone loves this sock (as seen before) and he gets his crazy bug-eye everytime!

These weren’t horribly OOF, but enough for me to not really like it…

Another one of the test shots. My bike’s a beaut! And I do lots of toboggans and tabletops

Capone being nosy.

Out of the batch, this one was fun and in focus!

Glamour shots by Cor. I really thought this came out great. She’s a beaut too!

WWWWWaaahhhh?!?!?

Capone is always trying to get me to play with his sock with him. Seeing as how he won’t sit still to take a picture, I lured him in with his sock. I tried to zoom in a tad but he was all over the place so I just kept it wide. I also just focused to the shortest distance my lens can and started snapping. They remind me of a caricature or one of those photos of dogs with the huge photoshopped eyes.

Anyway, here they are.

This was probably my favorite.


Here are a few more [ one ] [ two ] [ three ] [ four ]
