Williams Park :: Langley, BC :: Fine Art :: Day 273

fine art photo of three children playing

Christa had training all day so it was just me and the gang for dinner. We ate a home cooked McDonald’s meal and headed to Williams Park for some exercise. Ben had so much fun playing on the swings and sliding down this really bumpy slide. There was a ton of silliness. Owen ran in...

Hazelmere :: South Surrey, BC :: Fine Art :: Day 271

fine art photo of red barn and field

A red barn in the Hazelmere area of South Surrey. I was more or less trespassing to get this shot so I wasn’t able to get any closer. A car was fast approaching so I grabbed a few photos and hightailed it outta there. Yikes!

Ben & Percy :: Langley, BC :: Portrait :: Day 270

project-365-fall-seven-20100927-1

Ben is my little shadow on Mondays. He follows me everywhere and is such great company. I told him today that I appreciated having him around and that I would remember these days. He responded with his usual “Yeah” and then ran off. Ben loves to play with his toy trains and even though he...

Mountains Beyond Mountains :: Langley, BC :: Fine Art :: Day 269

fine art portrait of girl holding ball

A photographer who I strongly admire is Raymond Meeks. Every since I saw his photo of the pumpkin boy, I have been in love with his work. I bet his work influences mine more than I know. I do get that his photos are a million times better, truly I do, but that doesn’t stop...

back lit portrait of girl in the evening light

Christa and I went out for dinner together, ALONE, for the first time in 267 days. We also went for a walk and watched a movie. We don’t get enough one on one quality time, it’s something we have to work on. Thank you Celine and Callum for making it happen.

Owen (G) :: Langley, BC :: Portrait :: Day 265

project-365-fall-seven-20100922-1

There isn’t a day that goes by without Owen waking up and saying that he feels great. He is the most optimistic person is this household, bar none. It is nice to have happy and healthy kids. I should never take this for granted. Hey, I just noticed that I only have 100 days to...

Homemade Haircut :: Langley, BC :: Portrait :: Day 264

project-365-fall-seven-20100921-2

As you can see, I got a haircut. I guess you could say that it was homemade. I have Christa, myself, and my new Walmart hair clippers to thank for it. Strobist: Alien Bees 800 with 50 inch Westcott softbox camera right, bookend camera left for fill, triggered by Cybersync.

Even A Parking Lot Can Be Beautiful :: Langley, BC :: Fine Art :: Day 263

soft focus photo of rain

Something that has always stuck with me is an old commercial for Fuji Film, one that said something like “even a parking lot can be beautiful”. I dug around on the internet for a little bit but couldn’t find it. I imagine that if I did, it wouldn’t quite be how I remembered it. Kinda...
