Instagram. SO HOT right now.

He’s going to show t-ball who’s boss next spring.

We spent a wonderful late spring evening in the yard, blowing bubbles and playing. Obviously, I had a hard time resisting the light and the bubbles.

Last year I licensed some of my photos on Getty Images. Today I find out that one of those photos is being used on The Onion! How freaking awesome is that? Love it.

I chaperoned a field trip to the zoo on Tuesday. My daughter and the rest of her pre-K class had a great time. There was a lot of yelling at the animals, squealing, and jumping. I loved it. I can see many more field trips in my future.

While the kids stared and asked tons of questions, I took a few pictures of the critters. (The animals, not the kids.) Enjoy!

Here’s a few more photos from around my neighborhood after the snowfall this weekend. All the images were captured with my old Nikon D50; the black & white conversions were done with Photoshop because that’s how I roll.

It snowed here over the weekend, a rarity in the Atlanta Metro area. I went trekking about with my trusty Holga and some old Fuji Pro400H film. If you’ve never shot with a Holga, I cannot recommend it enough. It’s an all-plastic camera with almost no ability to really focus on anything and most of ‘em have light-leaks.

From an essay about the Holga by Michael Barnes on ToyCamera.com:

Holga is one of the few genuine toy cameras that can be bought new and is especially common in the USA. It’s an all-plastic 120 camera that shoots 6×6 format. You get the super precise little icons like people or mountains to focus with and a little slidey switch to swap between cloudy or sunny exposures. (don’t be fooled by this apparently sophisticated device- it’s totally useless and seems only to be there for decoration!)

Some of my photographs are now available for licensing on Getty Images. I’m pretty excited about this opportunity. The current crop can be viewed here and I’m hoping to have more available soon. You can check out plenty more of my photos on Flickr. This photo has also been featured on the Strobist lighting blog. Here’s what David Hobby, the blog’s creator, had to say about this image:

[This photo] transcends the room genre into that of a still life. It looks like it was shot on 4×5, with its crisp lines and detail.

It’s always the little things that throw me off when setting up a custom query. I have the total character amount set in the query and it’s overriding the “more” tag when I write a post. It’s a tad obnoxious that it took me this long to figure that out.

Update: It wasn’t the character amount, it was the “$global $more” setting in the loop. Again, the amount of time it took me to solve this problem is embarrassing.
