The T3sk3y Defenestrator

DDR – it isn’t just for mommy any more

Christmas night, the T3sk3y family had game night in the Chaska Pinball Shrine.  For old time’s sake, my wife and sister decided to fire up Dance Dance Revolution on the Dreamcast.  Before long, William wanted in to the act.   Hilarity ensued..

One last pair of teasers – and an explanation

Dan and Jacqie

Dan and Jacqie

Wow, it takes a long time to sift through 800+ images. Last weekend, I had the blessing to attend my sister’s wedding in La Jolla, California. I had a new role this time – a wedding photographer. My sister Jacqie hired an actual pro to shoot the wedding – and she managed to get me signed on as her 2nd shooter. My “job” was to shadow Lisa (the photographer) and get shots from different angles / styles / etc.

This will be my last teaser post until I have them ready to go. Since there are about 500 that survived the 1st cut – it may be a while. I’d like to send a big thanks to Lisa and JLee for letting me tag along with them on Saturday. I’ve added the links to the two incredible artists (Elle G Photography and JLee Imagery) to my photography link list on the right.

Because I know everyone is going to be checking..

.. I’m going to give up just one teaser:

Next, Elizabeth eats things that Mommy doesn’t let her eat.. like her fingers!

What mommy doesn’t know WON’T HURT HER!

Take that, Mommy!

But, don’t worry Mommy.. I’m keeping a good eye on my little sister.

4th of July Flowers

H3th3r, Wi11iam, 31izab3th and I spent the 4th of July on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound this year. It was the classic ‘small town’ 4th with parades, three-legged races, and lots of fireworks. I love fireworks. I’m gradually getting the 600-odd photos I took during the trip sorted and edited (it’s quite a job) – so as a teaser, here’s a couple of fireworks shots that I took:

A Lovely Bouquet

A Lovely Bouquet

Photographically, I shot a 4-5 sec. exposure on f/11 at about a 50mm focal length. I set the focus to Manual and focused at infinity. When I heard the mortar, I clicked the shutter.

A daisy for you?

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be continuously updating my gallery from the trip to Whidbey Island. If you can’t wait until they are done, check back frequently on my SmugMug page. The quick link to the photos is here: Whidbey Island 2008

I love my new raincoat!

This is from a couple of weeks ago.. but it’s such a cute shot. William got a new raincoat – and he couldn’t wait to try it out and go splashing in some puddles.

The William Sonata

My son may be a musical prodigy in the making..

This made the rounds of my family a couple of weeks ago – but at the time I wasn’t able to link to it here due to some technical limitations at SmugMug with video. Now that Adobe has released H.264 support in Flash – it’s playable and embeddable!

If this isn’t playable – and you want to be able to see more cute little clips on here – upgrade your Flash player to Version 9 here: Firefox, Other Browsers

Enjoy..
