Young Unicyclists

I went to see the young unicyclists at Lee's school Friday evening.  Lee shows a great interest but I don't think that this is something for her since she is afraid of falling and hurting herself. This boy was jumping over many cars, the crowd cheers. The teacher lining up more cars.  🙂 He is…

A Special Birthday Guest: Bozo the clown

Today is Lee's birthday and she was greeted at the bus stop by Bozo the clown. Some of our neighbors didn't know how to react and one lady didn't recognize who it was behind that clown outfit. I think even Max thought it was funny. Lee is testing out her new birthday gift, smile for…

My first attempt at panning

I've been fascinating with panning technique and this is my first try and very happy with the result.  Lee has been a great help, we went over to my dad's house since he has a long driveway and an interesting background. Panning is a technique in which you move the camera parallel to and at…

Nicktorious at Virginia Beach

I shot this video while we were vacationing at Virginia Beach.  This is a 17 year old boy named Nick, also known as Nicktorious. We were heading to get some ice cream on July 5th, 2010 and saw his show.  I had my camera rolling the whole time, I was curious as to how he…

Made With Care

I consider myself very lucky to have so many talented sisters.  My younger sister at Bee's Design made this leather handbag for me.  My GI Joe sister gave me the elephant patch that we found in her storage while we were cleaning up and I thought it would be neat to have it made into…

Lee’s Jack-O’-Latern

Lee wanted the biggest pumpkin that they had at the pumpkin patch, but it was too expensive and heavy to carry. And when she got home, Bo helped her carve the Jack-O'-Lantern, this photo was taken with Bo's iPhone, she was sitting on the dining room table hard at work.

Got Lost in the Corn Maze

We finally got to visit the Foothills Corn Maze yesterday afternoon. Many rules to follow. Matthew and Lee didn't know which way to turn, so they decided to take turns in choosing direction, I just followed. Then we had to answer the trivial questions, our first trivial question was, What US state produces the most…

World’s Deepest Trash Bin

I thought this one is cool, the world’s deepest bin, sounds like it anyway. Interesting that when you make things more fun, people are more likely to use it. Look at some of these guys, probably thinking “I’ve never seen any trash bin this interesting before.” I say, it’s just a plain trash bin, we…

Take the Piano Stairs

Lee is afraid of an escalator, so I wouldn’t have to tell her to take the stairs. But most people are not like her, most would take the escalator, but what if you make the stairs more fun, that’s what Volkswagen wants you to do so they turned a staircase in Odenplan, Stockholm into a…
