Silverton.

Pam took us out on Saturday. To be totally honest the aventure could have been better, but it was fun. The kids like to move a little faster, as do I. But we did have fun in Pams favorite yarn store, went into a fun little import shop. Pam Spioled the kids a bit, which I think is a little cute. Oh, and we saw Stu, the United States only openly transgendered Mayor. But the Park was where it was at! In Silverton there is a great park with REALLY tall swings, I pushed Pamela and she loved it. I pushed the kids and they got scared.

Is it a self portrait if someone else presses the button?

So my eight year old, Stephen helped me take this shot in my dark living room. I'm manually using a detached flash on a one second exposure. Darkened and softened the image and used a portrait plugin in Photoshop. Painted out one of the shirts I was wearing. The funniest part, Emma is in the background, on the couch, playing on my new phone.

Original (lightened the background a lot so you can see Emma.)

Out of focus.

I love how the layered stalkings do crazy things to the eye when out of focus.

"She Does Have Supreme Legs"

Pamela loves stockings, so do I.

Steve's New Hat

Swung by Andy and Bach's this weekend with Stephen. He got a real arctic weather, rabbit fur lined hat. Also acquired, a pair of wool fingerless gloves. His thinking behind them: "I will still be able to shoot."
