We spent our Sunday afternoon at Darren and Jen's and yes, we played Bocce Ball.  If you've never heard of or played Bocce ball, visit http://www.worldbocce.org/ for more information, it's a blast!  Thanks to our hosts for the hospitality, it was wonderful.

 

While reading to Audrey this evening, Noelle dropped by and snapped a few photos.

 

Cheers!

If you didn't know, I've been an avid water skiier for as long as I can remember.  It's been a bit tough to get out since my skiing partner Sean now lives a long ways away, I think I'm getting a little old too.

 

Anyway, Mom, Dad and I headed out this morning at 6:00 am to get the best water possible and I think we did pretty good.  David, check out the photos, that's water skiing water and it's gone by 7:30 am.  Anyway, thanks to Mom and Dad for getting up at the crack of dawn to feed my habit.

 

Enjoy the background!

Yeah yeah, our Hawaiian photo hangover must be over, I'm back to posting lots and lots of Audrey photos.  As always, she's very cute and smiling... most of the time :)

 

Cheers!

We attended another wedding last weekend and as always it was beautiful.

 

In my older age though, I'm beginning to really despise difficult lighting.  I used to fire off photos without taking the background into account, now I shudder at the site of harsh shadows.  At this last wedding, I'm pretty sure I encountered the most difficult lighting I've ever had to deal with.  Not only was I in the back row (requires a lot more light than normal), but the background behind the bride and groom was solid white (casts huge shadows) and the ceiling was brown and vaulted (can't bounce a flash).

 

These kind of conditions want me to pony up and purchase another flash for my system, all I need is $350 :)

 

Anyway, I was able to get a couple nice shots... and please don't shudder if you see harsh shadows, I did the best I could.

 

Cheers!

I've been accused on not posting enough photos of Audrey.  Well, here are a couple more.

 

Cheers!
