Photo Day at the Park

We had some family pictures taken on Saturday by my good friend Jacob Heisterkamp. Here are a few previews.

A Road Not Often Traversed

There are a lot of hobbies I wish I had more time for: guitar, cooking (no, really), and photography. And since I have one of the world’s most beautiful daughters photography is something I would really like to be good at. As life goes however everybody gets lucky. And in my case if I take 1000 pictures one should end up being pretty good.

So I would like to share with you this summer’s favorite shot. It was taken in Winter Park, Colorado just behind the condo we were staying in. I don’t know a lot about composition, but I’m told this photo has it good…or something like that.

Enjoy the stylized versions and check back in a few months after my next 1000 or so to find another good one. (if you click on them – they’ll get bigger!)

Panoramas from Israel

On our trip to Israel I took around 2000 photos. Most all of them are available to view and download from Flickr. I also took different series of photos that I would later stich into panoramic pictures. I have been working on this project for the past couple of days and you can see 10 different panoramic shots from the Holy Land.

You can click on the pictures below to see larger versions or follow this link to the whole set on Flickr with the original sized images.

Another Photo of the Day

I’ve decided that it’s much easier to post photos than write. I guess I am truly a product of the video game generation… So here is another photo. It’s one of my favorite pics of my sister. This is the famous “photo tree” where all us kiddies and many others have been taken on a forced march and put into cute poses with each other and various family members. Funny thing is, as we got taller and stronger, the tree got smaller and weaker.
