Disneyland–Abstract Carousel

While everyone went on the Casey Jr. Circus Ride, I sat at a table and played around with long exposures and zoom blurs.

Disneyland–Family Love

Alston Family Disneyland Trip

So we took a Disneyland trip with the Alston family.  After 3 days of the happiest place on earth, I came back with nearly 900 pictures.  Most are just family snapshots, but some I did work for a bit and set up.  A lot of them can be seen on the blogs of my wife and daughters here:

I’ve got several posts worth of pictures.  I guess I’ll just start chronologically and try to skip my favorites that have already been posted above.

Simon longingly watches the other kids on the teacups.

Cousin Sadie and I did a mini-shoot while waiting for everyone to get back from a ride.

Plenty more to come.

Snow Fun

Fun in the snow with the cousins at the in-laws’ cabin on Mt. Graham.

It was mostly a day for snap shots, but I had to play around with something.  So, for this last picture, I put a remote flash inside the dug out.  Looks like they found an alien space ship or some treasure to me.
