My brother (Toby), Sister in law (Stefanie), and my nephew (Carson) were in town this weekend. We had fun hanging out together. We all went to dinner on friday and I had a chance to catch up with my friend Matt. Ryan was acting up and actually choked then threw up all over the table in the restuarant. I'm still not totally comfortable taking him out to eat, or out in public, for that matter. He has started to pull himself up into a standing position pretty regularly now. I will be Ryan proofing the world from this point on. He sticks his fingers into everything, knocked over an end table and was about 2 seconds from pulling my camera off the couch. I thought that the crawling was bad, but he has officially brought it to a whole new level of distruction. I am officially in the market to buy my very first home. I am looking at a few in Chandler and couldnt be more excited. I'm impulsive, so naturally, I thought of this idea about 3 days ago and I wont stop until its done. I've got the credit and its better than renting.>>I am absolutely in love with my first run at flash photography. I spot metered and under exposed the flower; purposely blew out the background to give a back lit effect. I'm really loving the reflection from my dining room table.
