HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography is the process of taking a photo using multiple exposure settings, then combining them to give an uber-cool lighting effect.
The problem is, it’s hard to take a photo for HDR if the subject matter moves. But all is not lost, you can fake it with Photoshop as I did in the photo below.

I’ve been having a bit of fun playing around with a bunch of images… and now I can see my photo collection size doubling.

Fooling around in the backyard this past weekend, I caught our two boys smiling away.

There’s simply nothing like a smile to brighten a rainy day!

Janet and I have been kept busy with work lately, but Kian brings us back to reality and reminds us what’s important with days like this!

Kian and I on a walk through the hood. He likes to drive, unfortunately my ears and hair appear to be the steering wheel… ouch!

January saw fall in Phoenix. And Fall means leaves. Leaves mean fun.

Janet, Kian and I made our yearly Christmas Eve visit to Grandma Rosann’s house to spend time with Janet’s half of the family. It was nice to see Kian interacting with kids close to his own age. Lots of noisy toys!
The first Christmas in a long time where the entire family was together, in one city, with no rush to get to the airport the day after – Janet, Kian, and I all hung out Christmas day, enjoying gifts and Christmas cookies with my half of the family.
Kian, nearly two years old, just barely understood the concept of unwrapping gifts. His first gift was a really obnoxious car that makes a ton of noise while scooting around the room. Once he got that, all other gifts were considered “non-essential” in his eyes. You know what they say about boys and their toys…

Kian’s latest haircut really shows off his large brown eyes. The haircut is growing on us, not so much on him though.

Kian and I watching TV, he decided that the Dad-O-Lounger was more comfortable than the couch!
