Not candy for babies, but candy that represents babies! Home made to celebrate our little man.

Pecan Sandies

robert — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:29:15 +0000

Working from home this afternoon, I decided to treat myself to some cookies (well I probably would have done that whether or not I was working or not but that’s beside the point). Has been a while since I’ve had Pecan Sandies, but they sure were good. What is your favorite cookie? (Mine is Oreo, but these were calling my name!)

Penn Camera Photo Contest

robert — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:44:10 +0000

The February Penn Camera photo contest subject is snow, so I found my two favorite snow pictures from this past year to submit. The prizes are Penn Camera gift cards, which are quite useful! There are lots of great entries, so we’ll see — wish me luck! I should know early next week if I’ve won a prize

Snow Day

robert — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:10:24 +0000

The DC area is being hit by some more snow (we’ve already had about 20-24 inches) — some areas will get at least another foot. So being stuck at home, watching the news, and keeping an eye on things, I figured I’d take a shot of what’s keeping me warm (coffee and donut) as well as what’s keeping me from going stir-crazy (iPhone with Facebook, Twitter, and the new Google Buzz, as well as having the news on in the background!).

Shot with Nikon D300s body and Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S lens

The snow is drifting pretty well out on the deck as well — going to be a nightmare to get out there and clean it when the door won’t open. Guess I’ll crawl out the window! These two were shot with Nikon D300s body and Nikon 18-105VR lens.

Black and White Photography

robert — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:32:48 +0000

Every now and then I get in the mood for some black and white photography. Since I’ve been busy with my new son (and busy napping!), I haven’t had as much photo time as I’d like. Yesterday I went to a nearby park in Vienna, VA and took some shots there, then went to the main drag for a bit. When I got home, I processed them all in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2which makes it super easy to convert everything to B&W since you can get one the way you want it (contrast, etc.) and copy those settings. All were shot with a Nikon D300sand Nikon 18-105VR lens.Had a circular polarizeron as well which did a nice job on the blacktop and skies to make them a bit richer.

Cold Weather

robert — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 10:28:44 +0000

The weather the last couple of days has been miserable! Very cold, very windy — and did I mention miserable? Pulled a few of my recent “cold weather” images to share. One is from around Thanksgiving, when it was cold and rainy. The rain was hanging off the ends of the branches just right! It was featured on RedBubble in the Rain Drops & Water Art and Split Tone Black and White groups in December. Taken with a Nikon D300s and Nikon 18-105mm VR.

The second image is of some ice that had formed on the window during a very cold day a week before Christmas. You might remember the blizzard we had that day, leaving over 20 inches of snow in the DC area! Taken with a Nikon D300s and Sigma 150mm Macro.

I’m In Washingtonian!

robert — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 14:24:27 +0000

I noticed the other day that Washingtonian put my name and winning photo contest entry up on their website:

I had been checking the local store for the magazine but they still had the old one. Finally yesterday I went to Borders and they had the magazines in! Bought 10 of them for myself and a couple of them for family that don’t live in the area. Very excited to have my photo in there, right on page 11! This is the January 2010 issue of Washingtonian.

Thanks to everyone that voted for me, this is really a great feeling

Happy Holidays

robert — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:25:31 +0000

It’s that time of year. Stress over presents, traffic, shopping, family issues — not to mention eating poorly. I was doing a bit of each of that when I felt the burn (must’ve been the alfredo pasta at 11am, leftover from the previous week’s holiday party, or maybe all the cookies!). Got some Tums and wanted to share! I call it Grapeberry.

That One Great Shot

robert — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:34:52 +0000

My Cannon in the Snow photo is being featured in a group on RedBubble this month, called “That One Great Shot“. It’s the cannon I wrote about in a previous post. The cannon sits on Manassas Battlefield Park, in Manassas, Virginia, west of the 234 and 29 intersection atop a hill next to a monument.
