My favorite food

We ran home for a quick visit with friends and family.  Any time we go home I always have to get pizza from Bobe’s Pizza.  Growing up I probably ate there at least twice a week.

After we finished eating, our daughter decided she would get on the table and try to entertain everyone.  Don’t worry she has vitamin bottles in her hands.

On the go

Recently I purchased Leica’s new 21mm super elmar.  All I can say is WOW!  The sharpness and minimal distortion is phenomenal.  Last, I love using “zone focusing“.  I just set my aperture and shooting distance and I’m ready to go.  If you set your aperture to f/8 (has to be a sunny day) and shooting distance to 5 feet, anything beyond 3 feet will be in focus.

This shot was taken from the hip.  This guy was definitely on the go.

Symmetry

We were eating at a sushi restaurant called Nobu in Dallas, TX.  As we were leaving, I looked across the street and there was an amazing building with awesome architecture.  I ran to it and grab this pic.

P.S.  This image works great for a wallpaper for your smartphone.  Feel free to download and use it.

Eagle Scout

My nephew recently became an Eagle Scout.  It’s a great achievement that many boy scouts never achieve.  It takes time, hard work, and dedication.  During his ceremony, my sister presented my nephew with my fathers Illinois State Police name badge.  He passed away almost 10 years ago and was a father figure for my nephew.  I know he watches over my nephew and is very proud of his accomplishments.

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.
