Some people have criticized my photos as being somewhat "Mickey Mouse"

And now you know why ;-)

SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.09.18 (Thu) - Drove in today, had a good day.  I worked until about 5:30 and then I did my first photo shoot for Mike and Jen.  John was very photogenic which made my job easier.  I got a lot of good shots!  I lost track of time while doing some photo processing on the photos when I realized that I hadn't posted my daily yet and only have 30 minutes left in the day.

Here is one of the shots I liked from the group.  I will have to spend some more time processing before I post the rest to a gallery.

Gotta get to bed, until tomorrow,

SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > my entry for a contest/photo walk in boulder this weekend.  as soon as we starting the group walk it started to pour.  i wanted to capture this girl best before she became aware i was taking her picture...but that didn't work out.  this is one of my entries.

thanks for andi tippie and john bennett for their feedback...both fantastic photogs in my book!

here are the rest of the shots i got that were decent:  (remember--there was no theme to the contest--just two hours to get some neat shots.  i looked at it as a chance to try out my new 24-70 2.8, to meet new friends, and to get some fun shots of the 'characters' in and around boulder, colorado's pearl street pedestrian mall.)

SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.06.23 (Mon) -  Today started out quietly.  I got up early, the sky was red from all the fires that were started by Saturday's storm.  I walked down to the docks and grabbed this shot of the sun rising.  After gabbing some more shots, I headed back to start the coffee. 

We packed up camp, hugged Tom, Virginia, Crystal, and George and then headed back home.  Well, back to work for me tomorrow, I had a great time on our vacation.  I'll be posting more photos from the trip later.

Thanks to everyone who came up, it was great seeing you all and we look forward to next time!More photos from today!

Until tomorrow,

Darron

thanks for planning and executing a lovely trip for us all.  you are an artist true in so many things (especially planning and packing).  thanks for your hard work and patience.  and for listening to the 'wiggles' cd over and over and over.
SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > went to boulder for a picnic with tamara and some friends.  afterward we headed to boulder's pearl street mall for some coffee and ice cream for the kids.  out of 150 picture taken-this one is my absolute favorite.  i love the blur of the background and the busy pedestrian mall on a beautiful colorado day.  i love the telling connection between tam and her daughter.  these two aren't too tough to photograph, they are almost always happy and smiling!
SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.08.24 (Sun) - Nice day, we started our day with an excellent worship service!  The music was great, as usual.  We had a guest speaker who was visiting from Captial Christian Center, his message was very uplifiting.  After service we all went to breakfast together, then home and hung out watching TV and, well, I did catch a brief nap.  

I took off for a Sunday night fellowship and then returned home and grabbed Robin and B to go grab a daily photo.  I've passed this theater several times recently and it looks so nice all lit up so I decided to run out with the camera and grab a quick shot.  We didn't spend much time there, Robin and I wanted to get a 5k walk in before bed time so this is the best I have to post today.

The walk was good, just over an hour was not too bad...  Thanks all for your comments on yesterdays photo!  And thanks for the links to the small worlds info.  I'm gonna give this a try very soon!

Until tomorrow,

Darron
SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.07.06 (Sun) - Lazy day, skipped church this morning for a small mens book study, picked up B and Bri after their youth services.  Robin was working so I took them to lunch at, where else, Taco Bell.  After that we ran to Fry's to pick up some network  and HDMI cables and returned home to hook up more equipment.   B & Bri started a movie, I fell asleep.  After we got up we hung out a while and then I took them both out to Cool River Pizza for dinner.  Then we ran out to Folsom to see Robin.  We did some grocery shopping and then headed home.  After Robin got off we all watched a movie together.  The movie was good (The Other Boleyn Daughter) but of course we knew how it was going to end.  The cinematography was excellent, really looked good on the new HDTV.

After dropping Bri off at home I came home and needed to grab a shot.  We have a small wooden box that we store the remotes in, it was polished and looked good in the room light so I grabbed this shot using my new bean bag "tripod" to steady the camera.

Goodnight,

-Darron
