As I mentioned in the previous post, my buddy Tim came to visit a couple weeks back from Arizona. We did enjoy a great “beer tour” but also had some fun with our cameras. Since I was working and he was at a seminar in Seattle, we only got time to play at night. But boy, did we play! I’ll save some of them for specific posts later but thought I’d put up some random ones now for fun.

This is another picture from Dick’s Alehouse in Snohomish. I wasn’t feeling much photography inspiration that day but I have to say that the tap house sure presented a fun photo opportunity. This picture shows me so many “missed” good photos I could have taken yet it has plenty of character on it’s own.

Tim with his D90. The D90 is basically a slightly nicer version of my D5000. They contain much of the same features and hardware but his adds a slightly larger body, a couple more features, and the ability to drive non-motorized lenses.

Tom’s daughter, Stacey was asking Tim a bunch of questions about his camera. At the same time, we were comparing features and settings. I will add, the pizza place across from the Everett Events Center is not worth going to. The forgot about our order and then when I asked if it was coming, they gave me a small cannoli (which was dumb since I wanted dinner not dessert). Anyhow… we’ll not go there.

Tim’s gone. Bye Tim! See ya next time!

Just a few photos I’ve taken of things around the house….

An Iced Latte I took at work with my D60.

Piano Music sitting on the Piano (my wife plays the piano incredibly well!)

RootBeer

Nah nah nah nah nah… Always Coca-Cola.
(not that big of a soda drinker… the above photo and below photo were taken on the same night… I actually drank water!)

And of course, my iphone… showing off the new case I just got.

I had the pleasure of accompanying my brother and sister-in-law to a courthouse in St. Paul today to watch the adoption of their newest child, Isabella, become finalized. I took a few pictures. I ran into a bit of trouble as the setting was extremely warm (lots of red and yellow hued furniture, walls, wood trimming, etc.) fortunately, Apple’s Aperture allows for some editing of hues and various other settings without severely altering the photo…

After the wait, we were finally admitted into the courtroom and were met by a very friendly, fun judge. He was almost too goofy but we decided it was probably because something like an adoption would be a highlight to his day rather than other juvenile problems he encounters. I had to stick behind the courtroom divider until the very end when the judge allowed me to come in a shoot some group pictures.

Here’s Isabella’s big bro, Seth…

After the adoption was finalized, we hit Khourey’s for breakfast. I enjoyed a Chicken Fried steak and Seth was hilarious with his Mac and Cheese. You’ll also notice the restaurant had much cooler lighting and the pictures weren’t quite so yellow and red.
