Pictures (from David)

Katie and Glen-I like your pictures. Light painting, as I understand it to be called, is one of my new tricks, but your application is much more artistic than I've ever done (as may be expected since you are both pretty artsy ). I first saw it in a picture that someone took of a skeleton. They did 2 pictures and then used photoshop to merge them. The first was a normal exposure with a person sitting by the skeleton and the second had the bones "painted" with a warm incandescent flash light. The result looked like the skeleton was glowing, but the rest of the picture looked normal. I used light painting in the picture of the pumpkin that I took (the stem doesn't show up unless it has a little help). I'm excited to try doing some of the stuff that you did in your pictures.
Speaking of pictures....


Carol's first snow man. Right now she LOVE'S the Frosty the Snowman song/book.



Carol's new bed. The Finding Nemo sheets were necessary to get her to like the new bed enough to not be sad the old crib was disappearing.



Making biscuits for Mommy. Note the recipe specifically says to put the butter into the flour and use your hands to cut it in. Also, just for the record, we both washed our hands before doing so ;)

Light Show

Katie and I have been having fun with a tripod, an LED flashlight, and an extended shutter time on our camera. We didn't digitally alter these at all. You just draw in the air with the flashlight.
