As most of you know, our baby girl has officially turned 1 year old. It has been a wonderful and exciting year for both me and her mother. It’s truly amazing how fast she’s grown and we look forward to many more years of watching her mature.
Today’s post is an assortment of pictures taken through Lyla’s first year.
I was playing with my little girl and she noticed her grandma working in the kitchen. She quickly crawled to the fence and attempted to get her attention. Don’t worry, she was successful.

I took this shot some time ago. I’ve been waiting for a time to post it when it has some meaning. I still haven’t found any good meaning…
Most who know me, know my favorite camera to shoot with is my Leica M9-P. Yesterday, Leica announce a new M series camera called the Leica M Monochrome. At first, buying a camera that only shoots in black and white may sound a little crazy (especially for the price) but if you are someone who shoots a lot in black and white it makes some sense. The pictures I’ve seen have been astounding and the ability to shoot at ISO 10000 and still be useable makes it even more interesting (the Leica M9 does not shoot great beyond ISO 800). I noticed one of Steve Huff’s shots was ISO 2000 and 1/1500 of a second (WOW). Look forward to reading more about it.
I took this shot lost fall at the Lincoln Memorial. It was dark and I noticed her sitting patiently waiting for someone.

This was taken a few months ago. I really like the expressions on everyone’s faces and the focus on my mother looking at her grand-daughter.

Re-post June 2011
As all of you are aware, my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl 2.5 weeks ago. Like all parents, we are taking plenty of pictures and videos. Recently, I took this picture after her bath. I love how her hair is standing up and how she is looking towards her mommy. Even though, she is still too young to focus in on objects, you can tell she already has a tight bond with the people that love her.
