November 13, 2008 · Poulsbo, Washington

We have sad news this evening. Our faithful friend and companion of the last eight years has passed away.

Milo fell suddenly and severely ill over the weekend and, despite the valiant efforts of our veterinarian, was unable to recover.

Milo was always a rascal, always protective of us, and always a very sweet and loving companion to us.

He will be missed.

Ayla, concentrating hard while our good friend Donna reads to her …

Apparently my two-month old daughter was not terribly impressed with the idea of dressing up like a pumpkin.

(Before anyone asks … no, this wasn’t Photoshopped or posed. When Ayla learns her words, Mom and Dad need to have a talk with her about the proper placement of certain fingers…)

On Tuesday, we celebrated the shipping of Lightroom 2 by taking a cruise down the St. Croix River near my old hometown of Stillwater, Minnesota.

I get to work with some wonderful people — with interesting and sometimes eclectic tastes. This is Phil Clevenger, who is largely responsible for the excellent look and feel of Lightroom.

Tuesday was a great day for shooting … more to come soon!

I’m back in Minnesota for a few days for work. I took a little while this afternoon for some solo road-tripping and wound up passing this home-grown sign for a pumpkin farm. It’s time to start thinking about Halloween already? Who knew?

Ayla was a little reluctant to pose for her one-month birthday picture.

Here’s the reason why the photoblog and Flickr account have been neglected this last week.

This is my daughter Ayla at the ripe old age of 42 minutes. When she lets me have a bit more spare time (chuckle!), I’ll post some newer pictures of her. We’ve been at home for a few days now and we’re all well, but still getting adjusted to our new routine.

Sometimes the LensBaby effect just isn’t wild enough …

It was 1:30 in the morning and I wanted to shoot something new and different. So I held a water glass in front of my 28-135 lens and aimed it at my laptop, which was running Lightroom and showing a picture of navel oranges.

The hammock on our front porch was a birthday gift from my parents a year ago. It’s become a favorite resting and reading place of mine in the afternoon and evening sunlight. Here’s me enjoying the last few moments of sunlight before the sun falls behind the cedars.
