Well, now that one entire year has passed since my last post, it would seem to be time to do an update. 2011 was a life changing and crazy year, to say the least. Lots of change, the largest being my daughter arriving 2 months earlier than expected. I could have never anticipated what new experiences or challenges 2011 would end up holding for me, but suffice it to say I am happy to greet 2012. The below images: one for each month of the year. The theme here is pretty blatant, but I unashamedly post these in love for my amazing daughter and how she made 2011 the most memorable year of my life.

As part of our two year running tradition (with many years to come), Asha and I took the time to have some fun taking photos for our holiday card.  Thanks to my trusty tripod and MkII, we were able to capture a few fun and partially random moments (the cones on our heads was totally Asha’s idea!).  Our location was in Bothell, down by the amphitheater back in mid October.  Also, take a peek at the whit and wisdom of my good friend Horace Glump at his website, featuring photos from yours truly at the Glumpabilia Store which can also be found in the right sidebar.

It has been a month since the the last posting, which is a sure sign that I have not been shooting enough for myself!  On Monday my friend Prestin and I decided to just walk around and shoot some photos.  To often, I get stuck in a rut shooting what makes me money or only what I schedule and plan out.  Monday involved neither of these things.  These four photos represent a 31 minute chunk of the time we spent walking around Capital Hill and just shooting whatever, which I haven’t done for a very long time.  I have a bit of a fascination with doors.

Asha and I met up with our newly wed friends Angela and Evan to hit up the Puyallup Fair the last day it was running.  This was the first time Asha and I had been to a fair of this size, and we were quite surprised, as it was substantially larger than the Kootenai County Fair we grew up with in Coeur d’ Alene Idaho.  Below are a few details from our highly enjoyable far experience.
