A picture a day every day

Over a month late, here are the pictures for April. With the impending arrival of our baby boy, things got pretty busy. I managed to get out and take a bunch of pictures, but posting them got tough. Enjoy!

Tami and I just got back last night from our trip out to Santa Barbara to visit her family. The weather was bad for most of the trip, but we had a great time. The last day things cleared up for the most part, and we took advantage by having an outdoor picnic. Some of these pictures should make it up into the main gallery for February, but here’s a few highlights from the trip. I may add to this slideshow later, so check back as I still have a lot of pictures to go through.

I made it through January, so I guess I’m not so bad at keeping up after all. Here are the pictures from February. There should be a bit more variety in the shots here, as Tami and I will be making a short trip to Santa Barbara, California for a few days. Like always, I’ll post at least one picture for each day, but some days might have multiple pictures. Remember, any regular blog posts will appear chronologically AFTER this post.

January 2009

I took my dog out in the morning to play with him for a bit before heading out to go fishing with my wife, and the moments before sunrise were giving me some nice images, so I ran back inside and grabbed my camera. I was going to do some post processing on these to give them their maximum punch, but the 100% unaltered colors were worth presenting as they were. It’s interesting to see how in the span of only a few minutes the images fade from vivid to rather bland. It’s just another example of why photographers must take advantage of every moment as quickly as possible, because often times they just don’t last.

There’s nothing particularly artistic about this shot, especially with how common this sight has become at our house. Tami is crashed out on the couch at the end of a long work day with her dog by her side. Being six and a half months pregnant and working full time is quite the drain…

Here are the shots from January. I might do individual posts for pictures I particularly like, but here’s a collection of everything taken in the month. Some days have multiple images.

Note: This is a sticky post, so new posts will appear chronologically after this one. It will remain a sticky post until it’s replaced by the February slideshow. Don’t forget to check below for newer posts!
