Dance

I usually don’t post pictures I take immediately but our little one in the past week has successfully learned how to “shake” and “dance”.  Here is a moment from last night.

Sleep

Repost: 9.29.11

I was at O’hare not to long ago and was heading up the escalator when, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a young lady asleep just outside ticketing. I have always found it amazing how people can just fall asleep anywhere. I guess if you’re desperate, anything is possible. Well, here is a picture of the young lady sleeping as I was riding up the escalator.

You call this talent?

As we were walking to the hotel and stopped, waiting to cross Michigan Avenue, we noticed this guy on a bike smoking a cigarette and balancing himself in one spot for what seem to be an eternity. While multitasking, he had many cars passing him left and right. I definitely think this is a talent but don’t think it’s a talent I want?

The shot was taken with my Leica M9 and 50mm summilux set at continuous shooting, f/1.4, and 1/45 shutter speed. Because of the low aperture and the small size of the camera I was able to successfully get this shot at such a low shutter speed. Last, I keep my camera on continuous shooting so that I have a better opportunity of getting a sharper image and catching the action act the exact, right time.

Relaxing

It’s a blast shooting with my Leica 50mm Noctilux in low light. This was taken last week of a colleague of mine.  The bokeh is simply awesome!!!

Our Future @ 10 months

Taking this picture is getting more difficult because she’s always on the go.  Thankfully, I only have 2 more months before making the 1 year mark.

Excited about Bath time

I posted this picture on my Facebook page and thought I would include it here also.  Shot with my Sony NEX-7 and Leica 50mm Noctilux.  Absolutely, awesome paired together!  The “pixel peaking” feature works well.

Bath time

We are very fortunate that our baby girl absolutely loves bath time.  In greater than 5 months she has not once cried or got upset during bath time.  It’s also a great time to take a picture of her.  Here is a recent picture after her bath.
