Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping Dogs

As the old saying goes: "Let sleeping dogs be the subject of your photographs." No, wait, that doesn't sound quite right.

I have kind of a fixation with sodium vapor streetlights. I like how weird and monochrome everything looks under them, and I think that they produce some interesting tones when converted to black and white.

And that's about all I have to say about this picture.

Jason and His Hairy Brother

Jason and His Hairy Brother

This week at Jason's daycare they are learning about pets, as part of which they've asked us parents to bring in a picture of our kids with their family pets. That seems like it should be pretty easy, but let me tell you, Cooper has a black belt in looking away from the camera at the last second. It's some serious Remo Williams*-type stuff. Between that and trying to get Jason to sit still, this photo is nothing short of amazing.

* For those of you who, unlike my brother and I, don't have an affinity for cheesy 80's action flicks, this is a reference to a 1985 movie about a super agent who learns, among other things, how to dodge bullets by watching the muscles in the shooter's trigger finger.
