*....or so the story goes. Once upon a time, Ryan suggested to Melissa that they start a 'blog'. To which Melissa said, "We are not blog people!" And so here we are. We are teaching ourselves photography, taking the camera everywhere with us. This little blog is meant to show off shots we are proud of, and to give you a glimpse into our adventures. Comments always welcome!

Skater

«« prev next »»

Skateboarder

This is my first attempt at two things here. I have always wanted to try shooting some skaters. Instead of setting up manually and missing the moment, I switched over to "P" mode and let 'er rip. This is also my first attempt in photoshop at doing this sort of trick. I did it the hard, tedious, amateur way. Could somebody forward me a link to a tutorial on creating a path using the pen tool? I can't wait to try this all again.

WoofStock

Today we went downtown with Chopper to attend "WoofStock", a street festival for dogs. Normally we aren't into this yuppy, hippy-dippy kinda stuff, but we are trying to socialise Chopper and get him used to other dogs. Pictured here is Vegas sporting some real fly sunglasses.

We've adopted a dog!! This is Chopper. He is a bit camera shy. That'll change. But we promise we won't overwhelm you with countless doggie pics.

Under Construction.....again....

«« prev | next »»

Here we go again...

Well, with the wedding and honeymoon disappearing in our rearview mirror, we've run out of things to talk about. Sooooo why not start a new project? We haven't been shooting or posting much lately. Installing hardwood flooring in an 80 year old house is not quite a 1-weekend project. In this shot we are right down to the original floor boards. That's Ryan's dad in the shot. Big thanks to Ma & Pa for all their help.

This Melissa is Out of Order

This Melissa is Out of Order

I brought Melissa back from the Hospital Saturday morning. It was an excruciatingly painful ride for her. With every pothole, bump or stop in the road I learned a new word.
