Vashon
We finally took Connor to his Nana’s house on Vashon Island recently. It was both his first time on a ferry and an island. I managed to take over three hundred pictures and then deemed over one hundred good enough to be processed. All of the pictures in this post were either taken with my 50mm 2.0 or 24mm 3.5. Click on any of the smaller pictures to see them full size.
Here’s Connor on a Washington State ferry. He has a great time getting help walking up the aisles on the passenger deck by Leah. Below he’s enjoying the benches up front with the great views and hanging out by the emergency life rafts. There was a really good photographer on board that took a great family portrait of us.
Valerie made a great shrimp po’ boy lunch for us. Connor enjoyed the fireplace and crawling on the new floors.
Connor hangs out on the dock and the beach. I really love that wooden sculpture that someone built years ago.
Petting Zoo
We recently took Connor to a petting zoo for the first time. I have a bunch of shots of him looking at/touching the animals, but I thought that these would look more interesting here. That is Leah and Connor in the way out of focus background below.
Valerie’s Garden
I took these shots of Valerie’s garden on our recent trip to her house on Vashon Island. I usually do shots like this with the 50mm, but decided to do the whole shoot with the 24mm for a change of pace and perspective. The few shots here don’t quite do justice to how many cool plants are there, but they’re some of my favorites of the day. Click on the smaller pics for large sizes.
That’s the house up there. The deck and kitchen widows provide great views of Quartermaster Harbor and the other side of the island.
Everett Marina
These shots are from the guest moorage dock at the Everett Marina. Everything here was shot with the 50mm 2.0. I really loved the structure over the dock. It provided some great perception of depth when shooting from end to the other.
Aliens at the Beach
While doing a photo shoot with Connor at the beach in Everett, I took a break to get some landscape shots. That’s when I spotted these three through the grass. I managed to get off a few shots before they were gone.
Magnum
Let’s begin with the shot above. Connor is giving us his best attempt at “Magnum”. I think he’ll have “Blue Steel” down in the next couple of months. These shots are from Howarth Park in Everett. We were shooting with a very bright backlight coming from the high sun. I used my gold reflector to get some of that light onto his face. I’m also a big fan of the Monkey Butt shot down below.
Magnuson Park
These four shots are from a trip that Connor and I took to Seattle’s Magnuson Park by ourselves. We were hanging out while Leah and her mom were attending an event in another part of the park. He had just started crawling at the time and it was hard to keep him in one place to get some shots. Everything was shot with the Pentax 50mm 2.0. I really love the black and white shot from behind. He’s watching some kids playing basketball.
Seattle Zombie Walk Part 4 – Slideshow
Here’s my final post on this year’s Red, White and Dead Zombie walk in Seattle. I just put together a big photo slide-show over at Flickr to use here on my blog. Be sure to hit the full screen button on the lower right! I had a great time shooting this year and I’m looking forward to being there again next year. Every shot was taken with a Pentax 50mm 2.o lens with the Pentax K10D.
Backyard
These shots are from a shoot in the backyard on June 14, 2010. Connor had a great time pulling up weeds and playing with a nice stick that he found. He also really liked sitting in my reclining lawn chair.
