I don’t want to say “missed” anymore because, I really didn’t miss tonight. Another night of getting the kids to bed and packing. It’s now 8:40 and time to wind down and keep working on the new laptop. Don’t worry, ton’s of pics coming soon!

Hey fanclub! Sorry for no picture today. I’m prepping for Cuba and my brand new HP Laptop died that I got at Future Shop. So I had to exchange it tonight. They didn’t have any, so I “upgraded” to a Toshiba. Hopefully get a better experience out of this one! I’ll be back soon.

Maloreigh – the first daughter

Finally got to shoot my oldest daughter. Did about 30 images in about 2 minutes.

One of these things is not like the other…

Can you guess which one is not me?

Vincent’s 2 – BarberShop & Hairstyles
Picture looks best when you click on it. I’m not sure why my site is compressing the image.

I found this barbershop a few years ago when I lived in Oakville. Hands down the best place around. I thought I’d throw a shout out to these guys for always doing a great job.
Joe, you and your team are awesome, keep up the great work.

Susie – my wife

It’s rare that I am able to capture my own wife. Usually there are children hanging off one of us.

Desiree in the clouds

Took this shot indoors, but the background was not flattering, so I thought I’d play with the "render clouds" in Photoshop.

Wedding Rings in Cables

The fan on my video card is crapping out, so I have to leave the side of my computer off and "tap" the fan once in a while to keep it quiet. So I thought, let’s take the rings our of the "norm" and put integrate them into some technology.

Hayden outside

Took the kids and the camera for a walk today. Found this little gem in the batch. Not the best focus or sharpness, but it was too cute.

Not doing so good with the 365 right now. When doing this kind of 365, it is very tough to take a picture every day and post it. Some days, there are just no opportunity to do it, like this week and dealing with 3 sick kids and a sick yourself!

Missed another day.
Today was Hayden’s first birthday and he and I spent it in bed sleeping. I don’t mean first thing in the morning all cute and cuddly, I mean woke up went to work, picked up the kids from daycare and then came home.
He and I were really sick, so we went to bed at 6:30pm. Oh yeah, the 2 girls were sick too. So my wife and parents enjoyed a nice lasagna and cake while the rest of us were sick.

The [in]famous [b]ecker is coming to Burlington and I’m hanging with the master! I’ll be just returning from Cuba shooting my first destination wedding, then off to this seminar in my hometown. It doesn’t get much better than this from a photography standpoint!

Worked my 9-5 yesterday, then worked my 5-9 shift at home. Went out for coffee with Lindsey Ryder of Ryder Photo. Always great to catch up with fellow photographers.
