First Ballgame #1

First Ballgame #1

Jake’s first ballgame: Jake, Tobi and I went to see the Phillies vs. the Mets at Shea Stadium. The Phils won. 🙂

We didn’t know how Jake would take to a hotel bed, but it worked out great. Except the “stupid parents left stuff in the hotel room” problem.

Jake on the Prow(l)

Philadelphia Airport’s international arrivals terminal. The terminal is designed so that the ceiling is reminiscent of a naval vessel’s hull. The shape really accentuates the fisheye effect of the 15mm.

Fishing Hole

By popular demand (meaning that one person asked me for them), I’m trying to provide larger shots. The quality of some of the images may be lower while I get…

Sump Fountain

Sump Fountain

What to do with a 1/6 horsepower surface pump when your basement flood has receeded: entertain your 2-year-old on a warm day. Jake, by the way, really loves foutains.

Family Yoga

Family Yoga

Jake, showing Sue how “downward facing dog” should be done. Sue, envious of son’s flexibility. Dad, having fun with backdrops.

Tantrum

After visiting friends today, Jake pitched a fit. I couldn’t resist taking a shot.

Holiday Candles

Holiday Candles

More CS3 playing. The new raw importer is quite impressive; this grayscale conversion and the fake vignette were both done through it. A very powerful tool by itself.

Favorite Necklace

Jake actually posed for the camera tonight! More apologies, too: my primary computer is out for repairs, so I’m working somewhat crippled. Hopefully I’ll be able to process some of…

Squat

I’m running out of material — this time of year it’s hard to find time to do anything but work at Penn. Fortunately I have a nearly endless stream of…

Alphabet

Went to a birthday party today. Jake had a blast, and I had the opportunity to shoot other peoples’ kids both indoors and out. Great fun was had by all.…

Fly Away Home

Fly Away Home

Moments before, as I was setting up focus, there was a ladybug resting here. Jake saw what I did… and gave me a somewhat different shot than the one I…

Hundertwasser

Hundertwasser

From the Green Citadel by Hundertwasser in Magdeburg. There’s a fountain in the middle of the building’s ground floor which Jake (obviously) loved.

Button

Not a fantastic shot, but we’re still all sick. I’ve lost my voice and am going to take this opportunity to head off to bed early… This shot is of…

Ham-let

The sailor’s hat is from the DJ at the wedding last weekend. I think Jake was about to take it off, but it’s funnier to imagine him posing like this…

Great Thinkers

Great Thinkers

From a recent trip to Bowman’s Hill: I thought this would be a fitting tribute to mother’s day. Pictured are my wife, son, and aunt.

Godparents

It’s not a great picture but I have reason to post a shot of Scott and Lynn today. This shot is from last year, when Jake was still in the…

Curiosity

It’s wonderful and fascinating to watch Jake’s mind form. While out at Morris Arboretum last weekend he found a path light and spent a few minutes grabbing it, looking under…

Thinking In the Box

Thinking In the Box

From our trip to Princeton yesterday: we visited the Princeton library with friends. Jake found things to climb into, onto, run around, and other actions you’d expect from a 14-month-old.…

Jake, in his Field

Jake, in his Field

Jake and I spent some time out at Morris Arboretum today. He was determined to walk on his own, even when the wind blew him over…

Learning to Run

Learning to Run

Sue brought Jake out to my grandfather’s house today. While my aunt and I were cleaning it out, Jake was trying to run around the driveway. I’m continually amazed at…
