Last weekend, my good friend Frank decided to have a little BBQ party for his wife (and our friend) Margo. It was a great time. Skylar had fun, swam in the pool, and “chatted” with all the other babies around. All this while most of the guys played some Kan Jam.
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.
We took The Wiggle Bear to see the Easter Bunny and to have some fun at the local Easter egg hunt the day before Easter. She had a blast and so did we!
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.

My best buddy, Jon, turned thirty years old at the end of January and his parents (my second parents, as I’ve always referred to them) decided to throw him a great surprise party. He was definitely surprised when he walked through the door and noticed a house packed with friends and family. We were all happy to be there and had a fantastic time.
Madison had a great time celebrating her fifth birthday at The Jumping Jungle! She and her friends got to bounce, jump, and play for an hour before heading into a party room to have some delicious pizza. She was thrilled! It was a fun day for one of the most fun little girls I know! Happy Birthday, Madison!
Denise and I decided to head out to the Brunswick Grove to ring in my sister Michelle’s birthday night. The music was loud. The place was packed. And the drinks were flowing! It was a good time. Most of these were shot at around 12,800 ISO on the Canon 5D Mark II. Add a little black and white touch and all that noise turns to sweet, sweet grain. Love it! Happy Birthday, Meesh!
Skylar had a great time at her first birthday party last weekend! Especially with Marty & Linda. They’re the parents of my long-time best friend and were practically my second parents when I was growing up.
It’s pretty amazing to see them holding my little Wiggle Bear!
