El Dorado

My wife's grandmother recently passed away. Her name was Dora, and we always called her house 'El Dorado'. She had a great collection of, well, stuff, from the last several years. Here is a selection. Up next are a few photos of the house.

Jump Jump!!

Strange - I never sought out to take photos of kids jumping, but I recently happened on a few.

Kids 5

I rather like how this one worked out.

Vancouver Kids 3

Kids' Testing

A friend of mine was good enough to let me take a few photos of her kids. Trying out a couple of ideas - these are with the Hasselblad digital - the CF39 on the H1. Not my favourite camera by far, but it's the one I use for commerce, and I really need to get better at shooting with it.

...and the rain

Coldest, rainiest, wettest April in Vancouver on record. Ah well.

Easter 2011

We had an Easter Egg hunt at Clinton Park on Good Friday. Lots of families came out.

My daughter, niece and nephew all playing with the ipad. I was amazed at how well they took to it.

Turtle in Hawaii

One of the many turtles we saw on various beaches. Amazing animal.

Legs in the water

My younger daughter, enjoying the surf in Hawaii at Christmas. I didn't manage to get these up until just recently. More to come.
