After the owls
She wanted to show her daddy the World Bird Sanctuary, and then promptly got bored after we saw all the owls. She was walking ahead of us, trying to get us to hurry up, when I called her name. I got this exasperated look in response and had the camera ready. Was experimenting that day with my aperture settings, so I was able to fuzz out some of the distracting background. That wasn’t enough, though, because several of the people were wearing insanely bright clothing. I’m not entirely sure I like the whole thing as black and white, but I do know I like it like this, as she truly is the color in my world.

Bikers
We went for our first Family Bike Ride last weekend. M chose Grant’s Trail to get Zozer started on what we hope will become something we do regularly. Given my penchant for visiting the Custard Station regularly, exercise like this is almost required.

M’s capture
Have to give props to M for this one. We were lined up three abreast on the carousel at the Zoo on her birthday when he asked for the camera to get some shots of the two of us. After the obligatory cheese shots, he just kept shooting. Which annoyed me a little (it’s my camera, dammit…I don’t drive his Corvette while he hangs out in the passenger seat), until he showed me that he got this. Fantastic.

Magic
I saw the light, and the eyes, and the skin, and how could I not run for my camera? I love the light right at dusk. Photographers call it “magic light.” Pretty appropriate description.

Waiting for the train
Finally getting around to some darkroom time. So here at last, very late this year (many apologies), is Zoe’s annual “Waiting for the train at Red Rocks Station” photograph.

3 Do’s
Zoe and I were snuggling on the couch tonight, discussing words. She really loves to talk about letters, words and numbers. We encourage that, naturally, so we spend a lot of time spelling things and adding things. Tonight, she wanted to know if there were any other words besides “NO” that have only two letters. I said, “Sure!” and then proceeded to start listing all that I could think of: in, on, an, of, up, at, am, to…

The power of the stylist
Women and their hair. It’s a complex, strange relationship that extends unreasonably beyond the self to include others. We talk about our hair to friends, sisters, mothers. Aunts, cousins, coworkers. And, of course, our stylists.
