Knights in the Park

Yes, Knights in the park. Amberly and I went out to a park near our house to take some pictures of her all pregnant, and we saw these guys in the park.






I don't know what they were doing other than beating each other with fake swords, and yelling alot.

Blog Layout

I must apologize to my two readers. I am attempting to find a layout that I like, and feel express my message visually. Yes, I know I hear what the people are saying. They say, "Pete, but you don't know what your message is. How can you express your message visually if you don't know your message?"

My reply would be, "I know. It is just a secret."

Please let me know what you think as the format changes. I want something simple, yet visually appealing. It also needs to be easily accessible for multiple browser formats as well as computer formats.

I use Apple products as well as the Mozilla product Firefox. I know that the majority of the planet doesn't use the products I use so I need to be aware of design problems and viewing compatibilities across different platforms.

If anyone ever has issues viewing any of my content please contact me so that I may rectify the problem.

My Geeky Family

My wife and I are such geeks. We have been slightly obsessed with the Olympics this go round. We watch at least some Olympics every night. The past few nights we have played board games while we watch. Last night we decided to play Lord of the Rings Monopoly. It is just the same as regular Monopoly just has locations from the Lord of the Rings universe in place of the traditional locations.

These first pictures were from about Midnight.



The notes are to help explain the progress of the game. Please note the Giant Chewy Nerds. I LOVE these things. I bought two cases of those bad boys from Amazon.com. You might ask, "Why do you need so much candy?"

My reply would be, "I have a huge sweet tooth, and it is so much cheaper to buy my candy by the case."

Also note she seems to be ahead.


2am

Yes, 2 am we are still playing, and watching the Olympics. Team USA kept winning more medals. As for our game, the tide has turned! I am ahead money wise, but she has the advantage with properties. I need to gain a little more money, and then I can start re-stacking my properties.




We had to shut down shop and go to bed. The game will continue tonight. Who will win?

Jack and Ammon

I did a shoot today with my sister and her two boys. We took some pictures and then we played all afternoon. Great day! I haven't got through all the photos yet, but I did catch this one shot of jack running through some fountains. I was shooting in burst mode attempting to keep up with him. He slipped and the camera went off as I ran toward him.

Nichole and David

I did some shots of Nichole and David for their Senior portraits a few days ago. They were a blast to work with. I got ate up by mosquitoes. I still have the bites on my ankles. Check out more from them any many more at my myspace account.

Daniel Cutcliffe for Faith

These are a couple shots I did for Faith Skate Supply. Daniel Cutcliffe is one of two guys from Alabama in SLAP magazine's One in a Million competition. I have not met the other Alabamian Alan Poole, but everyone should go vote for these guys!


The Olympics

I love the Olympics. I am not a huge sports fan, but I can watch the Olympics all day. It doesn't really matter the sport or even the countries involved. Right now, I am watching Team USA play the Chinese team in basketball. It is half time and we lead.

They just showed the women's 10 meter air pistol event and a woman from The Republic of Georgia won the gold and Russia won the silver. Their countries are having an armed conflict currently, but these two hugged it out once it was over. I just love sportsmanship. Look! We are running a tight game in soccer right now. Half time is almost over!
