Day 315 - Hula Girl
This was my 8-year-old daughter's Christmas gift to my wife that she bought at one of those school Christmas Shop sales. As for me, I got a World's Best Dad baseball.

Day 311 - Early Christmas Gifts
Still catching up, and this is from Sunday, when we opened Christmas gifts a day early at my parents' house. Kenzie is a huge Simpsons fan, and she got a complete figure set.

Day 310 - Reece Close-Up
I'm way behind on my blogging, with the holidays and all. I have photos from every day over the past week to post, and I'll work on getting caught up. To start, here's last Saturday's photo.

Day 309 - It's Finally Here
We got the upgrade to Photoshop CS3 today. Just installed it, and I can't wait to play with it.
Day 308 - No Photo
On Thursday, I just flat out forgot to take a photo. I really suck at this "Photo-A-Day" thing.
Day 307 - No Photo
I actually snapped a single quick sunset photo as I was leaving work Wednesday, but I learned a lesson. My camera was set to RAW, and I flipped the power off as soon as I snapped the photo, and all that was recorded was a black square. I didn't even double-check it because I was in such a hurry.

Day 305 - "Macro"phone
A close-up of the end of a microphone we got here at the office. Now all we need are two turntables and we're set.

Day 304 - Just a Little Snow
It really didn't snow enough Sunday to even cover the ground, but some did stick to this weed in our backyard.
Day 303 - Another Swim Meet
We were in Maysville Saturday morning for another swim meet. The top photo is my daughter on the starting block showing off her skull tattoo the coach draws on them every meet.
Day 302 - Playing at a Christmas Party
From Friday evening. I love how the shallow depth of field blows up the Christmas lights in the background.
Day 301 - Christmas Play No. 2
I called Monday's post Christmas Play No. 1 because it was the first of two I had this week. This one from Thursday was for my daughter (center with glasses) that played a 1950s elf in her school play.

Day 300 - Christmas Photo Shoot
I was looking for something out of the ordinary for Day No. 300, and it happen to be the day I attempted (and I stress the word attempted) to get Christmas photos of my kids. My son is 3 and very active, so he's not the easiest guy to get a decent photo of.

Day 299 - Driving
I shot this on the way in to work Tuesday morning. Just playing around with the camera in the car.

Day 298 - Christmas Play No. 1
This was Reece's Christmas play by his daycare class (he's the one in the foreground who looks like he's throwing something off the stage). He wasn't as much of a performer as the other kids because he was more interested in the laptop that was running the screen behind them. Don't know where he gets that from.
Day 296 - Placeholder
I have a couple of photos from Saturday in Louisville that I took with a friend's camera, but I'm waiting to get them sent to me before I can post them, so this is a placeholder for now.

Day 295 - In Louisville with No Camera
So we get to the hotel in Louisville for our daughter's swim meet Friday evening. I pull out my camera to grab a shot from our hotel window when my little Fuji informs me that there's no memory card plugged in. My mind then goes right to my desk at work back in Ashland, where there sits the reader, card still inserted. So, I tried to make due with a cell phone photo, and wow are they bad.

Day 293 - First Snow
A nice surprise this morning. Especially for our daughter who got the day off school. She tried to tell me when I made her go to bed last night that it was going to snow, and this morning she said she knew it would because she prayed for it to snow last night.
Day 291 - My wife's Science Project
Well...actually it's our daughter's science project, but we like to joke about it. My wife has a lot at stake, she took third place last year.

Day 290 - Santa Hat
I had one brief chance Sunday to get a decent shot of Reece wearing a Santa hat before he refused to wear it again, and I blew it by not having the right settings on my flash (I didn't realize I had it on 1/16th power). I tried to salvage the photo best I could, but it's really full of noise. It's still kinda cute, though.
Day 288 - The Drive Home
Hate to post back-to-back sky photos, but it looked really neat again on the drive home Friday evening.

Day 287 - Jet Streak
You'll notice I've done more than a week's worth of posts today. I kinda let myself get way behind in my posting again, partly from being busy and partly from my laptop being out for repairs for a few days see this post. Anyhow, this photo from yesterday catches me up again, and I'll try to keep up better.
Day 284 - F2
This is from Monday. It's a portion of my laptop keyboard, which is significant because I just last week got my laptop back from Apple after they did some repairs. Mine had a factory defect involving one of the RAM slots that they fixed for free despite me having the computer for more than three years. Also, to my surprise, they even replaced the keyboard after my son had completely torn off my F2 key.
I'd had the PowerBook for so long, I didn't expect them to do anything about my problems, but they went above and beyond, and that's rare these days.
Day 280 - Miniature
From Thursday, Nov. 22. You'd think I could've come up with a Thanksgiving themed photo.
Day 277 - No Photo
A lot of times, I simply forget to stop and take a photo for this thing. Nov. 19 was one of those days.

Day 276 - Playing at the Park
The kids had a good time playing in Central Park in Ashland yesterday.
Day 275 - Cow Skull
Part of the decor at a restaurant we were at on Saturday. I like the way the shadow falls on the otherwise empty wall.
Day 274 - Park Portraits
A portrait I did for someone in Ashland's Central Park on Friday. The leaves there are really nice right now.
Day 273 - MRI Unit
I had to take photos Thursday of a mobile MRI unit, so I tried to do something a little different with the lighting. I used two Nikon SB-24s fired with remotes. The first one is just inside of the door where the MRI unit is (I couldn't get too close because the magnet was on) bounced off the ceiling, and the other is behind the computer monitor with a blue gel to give some color to the scene. The flashes were on the lowest power setting possible to try and get the rest of the scene lit with the ambient lighting. It didn't turn out too bad.
