Happy Birthday U.S.A. #POTD
It’s July 4th. On May 4th we say, “may the fourth be with you” on July fourth we just blow things up with fireworks. Chrissy acquired this household decoration some time ago and has made it a constant focal point in each of the houses we’ve lived in since. Camera: Sony A6000 ISO 400 30mm […]

The Sweet Life #POTD
People put on their best selves when they’re on a date, and this couple looks like they’ve had quite some practice dating one another over the years. The way they smiled and talked you would have thought they were still at the beginning of their romance. Camera: Sony A6000 ISO 100 27mm f/19 1/20 sec Public Domain

#POTD Oh Canada Our…
Oh! That’s right! It’s Canada Day, eh. For those of you who don’t know what that is…. [drumroll] it’s July 1st. What’s that you say? What should I do to celebrate this awesome day? In reality I don’t know. I’ve been married to a Canadian for 14 years but because we’ve never managed to […]

I have no idea what happens if you give a mouse a cookie, but if you give Rainey a pressure washer not only does the sidewalk get cleaner, but great memories are made. Camera: Sony A6000 ISO 400 50mm f/5.6 1/2000 sec

POTD Sunrise!
My drives into work are usually around sunrise and are generally spectacular. There is nothing amazing about this photo. The work behind getting this shot is really what was fun. This was taken while driving. I don’t think I need to say more on that… Really I just wanted to share the pretty sunrises I’ve […]

POTD Rainey In A Canoe
Went canoeing this morning with this young man. Lighting was perfect. This photo doesn’t follow the rule of thirds very well, but I just couldn’t crop it down. Is a good photo one where you do very little touch-up? Because for this one I hardly did anything.
