Pure Comfort

I am glad to have captured this moment!  At only a few weeks old, Liam knows the source of all his nourishment, security, and comfort.

Sweet Potato Cake

Picked up at a local bakery in Flushing, NY.  It's the first time I've tried a cake with these ingredients.  Who ever thought you could make a cake with sweet potato?  Anyway, I wasn't too crazy about the taste, but it was nicely designed!

Welcome to the world little one!

Chinese Burger Store

(Location: Elmhurst, NY)  At first I thought this was a racial slur, but I think it's a place I'd like to try someday.

What are you looking at?

 This is another one of her famous expressions.  She's actually expecting a new sibling soon.

Eating Fire

Location: Governor's Island.  I found most of this performance to be disturbing, but at least it was an opportunity to practice with high shutter speeds.  Captured a few good facial expressions too.

cityscape

Experimenting with taking shots of the Manhattan skyline.  This one was taken at Gantry Plaza State Park around sunset... just when the city lights began turning on.

Kangoo Jumps

I spotted these shoes during Summer Streets on August 17th.  They are called "Kangoo Jumps", and are being offered at Crunch Gym.  Basically they are shoes with built-in trampolines.  Very interesting...  I think I would get to places much faster if I had a pair of these.  I have yet to try them.

mermaid hands.. from the depths

So you take a girl, put her on a boat, row to the middle of the lake.. and throw her overboard.. and you have the opportunity to capture this shot.  Although it does appear that she is hanging on for her life, (for the record) she was never in any danger!

Monument Under Construction

It's not the typical sight when you visit DC.  The Washington Monument caged from top to bottom, fully under construction.  I guess even these types of buildings need maintenance from time to time.
