SteelyKid’s “no pictures” phase continues, meaning that I have to do things like snapping low-light pictures of her after she falls asleep: I used a really wide aperture lens for this– waking her up with the flash would be the end of the world– and had to process the hell out of it to get… Continue reading Thursday Sound Asleep Blogging 072111

Yesterday’s foray into procrastination by mathematical modeling forced me to shift some actual work into the evening hours, which meant that I completely forgot about Toddler Blogging. Which is fine, because lately SteelyKid has been reacting to cameras in approximately the same way as the reclusive celebrity of your choice, so all my pictures of… Continue reading Belated Paparazzi Blogging 071511

She’s going up the stairs to the upper platform, where there’s a twisty… Continue reading Thursday Random Artsy Photo Blogging 063011

On Saturday, we took SteelyKid to the Bronx Zoo. It was kind of hot, and she got a little over-tired by the end, but it had a lot of amazingly cute moments, too. And, unlike Sunday’s trip to the beach, I brought my camera and shot a couple hundred pictures of various things. Including this… Continue reading SteelyKid at the Zoo

SteelyKid is in a bit of a “no pictures” phase at the moment, which makes it kind of difficult to get weekly shots. Hence the run of Toddler Blogging pictures without Appa in them– when we pick Appa up, she runs away. Thus, this shot with the color balance all wonky (I could do a… Continue reading Thursday Monkeying Around Blogging 062311
