Usually I like to seperate out pictures that I think might be worthy of the title photography (according to my own definition) and post them slowly as I have time to consider them and alter them. I enjoyed my camera so much today that I decided to just select the pictures that represent today the best without doing much of anything to them (a little bit of sharpening and lightening via picasa) and dump them into a folder and then post them.
There are a lot of pictures behind the cut so be warned! But I totally think they are worth going through.
What you will see: brehn, brehn enjoying fennel, cows, beautiful sky, beautiful sonoma county, cub scouts stuff, fennel in my mouth, food, flowers, my brother, horses
I stopped at Ikea. I love Ikea.
I snacked. I dunno what this was called but it was essentially a cheese/tomato sauce piroski. Yum. All of the flavor with all of the guilt.
I did a bit of sharpening and selective softening to this one.
I did the "point camera while driving" thing ... many of the pictures are off, crooked and blurry but who cares? The sky is blue.
Drive by shooting of Borders in Emeryville
San Rafael Bridge (beginning)
San Rafael Bridge (ending)
San Rafael Proper
Novato
The stupid stretch of 2 lane 101 before Petaluma
The view is always nice through there though
Sonoma County! Finally. Lookit the green.
Trailer Park aka where some of my family lives (i'm kewl like that)
My brother and the ex500 I bought for him several years ago. $500 can go a long way.
Vroom!
Brehn playing (power rangers are ghey even if they shoot discs from the thing they are standing on)
The McDonald's salad was much better than any of the others I've tried from FastFood places
Brehn threw away his fries. What a good monkey.
I plan to fix this one.
Greeeeen. Uber cloud.
He's shooting himself. I don't remember why.
Stupid horses ran away
Still running
Then they began to stare
Brehn enjoying fennel ... cow style
Uh ... yup
Cow. I dunno why but I want to color the hay in the cows mouth pink. That'd be super.
Yeah, I grew up seeing stuff like that and hell yes do I know I was spoiled.
I love my cargo net
If you follow that road long enough you will find Gravity Hill.
Mmm. Fennel.
Brehn contemplating the fennel.
Another sharpening, selective softening sort of deal
This was like 30 minutes later ... he's still all about the fennel.
I wonder how big the strings are that hold them up
Moo
I plan to fix this one
Freak
They're either making fun of my butt or plotting
Posse (omg, so i typed that and this popped into my head: "my posse's on pasture" ... haha lmao! shoot me!)
We got to Brehn's house and no one was there so I put my camera to work.
uh huh huh huh
"Mom! Take my picture! Mom!" It wasn't like I was in the middle of fighting with my macro lens... noooo.
I tried many times to get these very quick moving buggars ... I got ONE picture ... and it's not so bad. :) (I cropped a bit)
Brehn's eye. I need to try and do this again when the lighting is better.
He looks so ... fennel free.
He got a trophy for his car. :)
(what's the kid behind him doing??)
John handing Brehn his bear patch
The end!
