We headed out for July 4th weekend festivities yesterday and Skylar had a great time! Denise ran in a 5K (and finished in her personal best time), then we went to the Milltown parade, and headed over to our friend’s house for a BBQ. Everyone had a great time. Skylar and all her little friends (and cousins) were really excited when the froggy pool came out!
Here’s a quick video I shot on the iPhone 4. I even edited it on the iPhone 4 with the iMovie app. So fun and quick to use! Music is by Josh Pyke.
Skylar’s cousin-in-law Brody Dean came down to NJ (all the way from Colorado) to visit a few weeks ago and I got some great shots with his mom and pop!
Skylar’s new favorite thing to do is to pull clothes out of her hamper and into her crib. Then she falls asleep with them all over the place in there. It’s pretty hilarious and totally adorable!
I’ve been taking more food photos lately, so you’ll probably be seeing a lot more of it on the blog in the next few weeks.
Below is a homemade Buffalo Chop Steak we made one night. It’s made with lean ground Buffalo meat on top of a bed of organic romaine lettuce and covered in organic ketchup. SO yummy and healthy too!
I hate spiders. HATE spiders. I happened to see this bad boy hanging out on a lamp post during my walk the other day. Scary, but I just had to get a few shots.
Before I got the bursitis in my knees, I’d been taking a lot of walks to try to get myself back into shape. It’s going to be a long haul, but I’m determined to do it this time.
Nevertheless, a few days during my walks I decided to take my camera out with me so expect to see some posts here and there of things I’ve shot along the way. Here’s the first. I dig it. How about you?
My sister got the family together last weekend to put together a farewell BBQ for The Boy. They’ve been dating for a few months now and they seem incredibly happy, but The Boy is moving to Portland in about a week. We’ll see how long before he comes back. Ha!
These are film scans of shots I’ve made with my vintage (1936-1951) Argus “A” 35mm film camera. To learn more about it, check it out here: http://theargusa.com/
These pictures are straight from developing and scanning. No photoshop except to change size and add my logo.
Some of the outdoor pictures created a CRAZY color cast, so I’ve included the originals and the B&W conversions I made of them.
So much fun to find an old camera, clean it up, and find that it still works in a nice vintage-y way.
Most of the film used is either professional 35mm color or black and white film. Most of it is expired (by about a year or two), which just adds to the fun!
Focusing is messing, colors are crazy, and lens aberrations are abundant.
I miss film.
