For fun, we tried a wig on him.  Then, we went for the gold with the giraffe outfit.  These photos (and a few more) are available for download here.

The colors of fall.  I didn’t edit that picture at all.  It’s that awesome in real life.

The Obvious - Photography by Titus Bartos -

I don’t know many people that can take a breathtaking black and white photo of a sunset.  But I do know one person who can.  Do yourself a favor and go visit my friend Titus (pronounced tee-toose) and buy a print or 10.  Clicking through his photos makes me want to donate my camera to goodwill.

Emma (niece) needed a break after what appears to be a painting session.  It was great seeing family this past week!

My first photo shoot.  These pictures of our friends Daniel and Elaine (and Diesel) are worth every penny they paid for them.  They did, however, let us borrow their car for a few days.  Thanks guys!

Here’s Rob’s Bench

Played at the beach (check).  Enjoyed throwing the sand/dirt up in the air (check).  Decided to try and taste it and got my hand to my mouth before my parents could stop me (check).  They laughed and took pictures (check).

I’d like to introduce you to half-dome, the inspiration for the logo and name of “The North Face.”

Before (dark) and after.  Thanks, photoshop.  This was taken just before dark with a one second shutter outside our hotel near Yosemite.

We took a boat ride to the middle of the lake. These are some of the pictures we got.

We went to a vineyard for dinner and a praise and worship time.  I thought this picture adequately showcases the experience.  For more like it, check the first week photo album.

Home Sweet Pan.
