Saturday, June 12, 2009.<br /> <br /> This is one of the nice and yummy pizzas from our favorite pizza place called "Straight from New York". I placed a photo of the Nico spinning a pizza dough last week, and I didn't realize (until now) that Gabe had also captured a photo of one of the pizzas that just came out of the oven... I could eat there everyday if possible...

This is one of the nice and yummy pizzas from our favorite pizza place called "Straight from New York".

  • June 27, 2009.<br /> <br /> Gabe went to mow someone's lawn today (that is his summer job) and we found this awesome "weed" that was the size of an orange ~ and we had to photograph it. It would've been nicer if I had a macro and could get a little closer. The sky was amazing again ~ just blue with no clouds.
  • June 26, 2009.<br /> <br /> Gabe performed today at Corban College (here in Salem) after a week long music workshop. There were lot of kids from all over who attended, and they all did an outstanding job ~ even though they only practiced together for 1 week. Great job Gabe.
  • June 25, 2009.<br /> <br /> I have been trying to get some graduation photos I took earlier in the month processed. This is one of the photos I took of a student who was standing near me.
  • June 24, 2009.<br /> <br /> Another photo taken from the park near our house. Noah has a great time climbing and running when we are there. He can now do the monkey bars all by himself. It always amazes me how kids (sometimes) don't have a sense of fear!
  • June 23, 2009.<br /> <br /> I was going through some more wedding photos from last Saturday and I decided to post one more. Any feedback is appreciated on what I can do better. Here is the gallery with a few more shots.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://orsophotography.smugmug.com/gallery/8632815_joiz7#571210798_EPCpE">http://orsophotography.smugmug.com/gallery/8632815_joiz7#571210798_EPCpE</a><br /> <br /> Thanks...
  • Monday, June 22, 2009.<br /> <br /> I took Eli and Noah to the park today and the sky looked amazing. It was warm, but not too hot. Here is a photo I took while they played in the playground.
  • June 21, 2009.<br /> <br /> Happy Father's Day! This is the card my boys got me today. They were excited and came wake me up to wish me a Happy Father's Day! Eli made me toasted bagel for breakfast. It is fun to see how much enjoyment kids get and how excited they are on special days like today.
  • June 20, 2009.<br /> <br /> I had an opportunity to learn from a fellow photographer today as he invited me to join him as he shot a wedding here in Salem. It was a privilege to observe, and learn some new tricks from him. I am very thankful for the opportunity. Here is one of the photos I took of the bride. Her name is Angela.
  • June 19, 2009.<br /> <br /> Milestone day today... Gabe finally got his braces off after two-and-a-half years! They were supposed to be off last December, but it didn't happen until now. He was relieved and much happier now. I will try to get Gabe to pose for some portraits for me soon (preferably after he gets a hair cut).
  • Thursday, June 18, 2009.<br /> <br /> One of the projects I have been working on this week is a 50th Wedding Anniversary invitation for my mother and father-in-law (sorry Nana, this is all you get to see for now). I have created it using Adobe InDesign, which I have been learning more and more about it.
  • Wednesday, June 17, 2009.<br /> <br /> Window from one of the buildings at Mission Mill. Gabe and I will have to go back there another day.
  • Tuesday, June 16, 2009.<br /> <br /> Another shot from Mission Mill. This time, Gabe and I were practicing the soft effect with the running water. This place is amazing, and the photo opportunities are just great!
  • Monday, June 15, 2009.<br /> <br /> I am sorry for not being around this week for commenting and posting new daily photos. It has been a rough week for me, and I miss looking at all the new photos posted each day here. <br /> <br /> I took these shot at Mission Mill, here in Salem. The flower in the middle (which I don't know what's called) seemed cool and "alien" to me.
  • Sunday, June 14, 2009.<br /> <br /> I took Gabe to a friend's house in Silverton, Oregon today and I stopped to take a few shots of this covered bridge near one the parks. Silverton has another covered bridge that is big enough to drive through it; this one is for pedestrians only. It was very peaceful to walk through it and listen to the creek below it.

  • Friday, June 11, 2009.<br /> <br /> I have been spending a lot of time going through hundreds of photos I have taken this past couple of weeks and I have not been able to get out and take new ones (I am sorry!). There is another use for the Hula Hoop ~ to make giant bubles... This is Eli having fun at a kids' museum here in Salem called Gilbert House.
  • Thursday, June 10, 2009.<br /> <br /> I actually took this shot yesterday during an event for Salem Academy. The 8th Graders were being recognized and 'promoted' for freshman for next school year. I took this shot of our newphew who was sitting next to me as he tried to get a shot of his brother (who just completed 8th grade). Used Photoshop again to add the treatment.
  • Tuesday, June 10, 2009.<br /> <br /> Eli performed with his friend at the Talent Show on the last day of school. They sang "Beat It", and danced, and played their Guitar Hero Guitars. It was a lot of fun and they did a great job. His act was one of the last because the band teacher thought it was going to be a popular one.<br /> <br /> I am trying to play with Photoshop CS4 more, and this is one of my attempts to try to use it more... Any feedback is welcomed.
  • Tuesday, June 9, 2009.<br /> <br /> Gabe is playing basketball for Salem Academy now. This photo was taken during one of his games during a time out. This is his first time playing basketball and he is having a great time.
  • Monday, June 8, 2009.<br /> <br /> Eli's 2nd grade class went on a field trip today and I had a chance to tag along for a couple of hours. They had a great time riding the carousel at the waterfront park. I took this shot as we waited in line for our turn.
