Bowling

Spent a day bowling with friends.  Lunch at the Norenas and then off to bowling.  Kids caught on quick and seemed to have a blast.  Thanks again to Joseph and Jennifer for organizing and hosting, we had a great time.

A Saturday

Mini Me

Uh Oh, He's Got That Look!

Danger Boy being Danger Boy

A Saturday in the life of the boys, mostly S pics.

Using an old manual focus Nikon 135mm F2.0 lens (an apparently rare piece of glass) that I will pots for sale on eBay this week.  I forgot how great this lens is and wanted to use it a little bit.  In taking these pics, I clearly knew that the way I shoot now is not in line with this lens being MF.  I am so dependent on AF when taking pics of the kids I can't see myself constantly MFing and missing shots.  I welcome technology and think things are def better today camera wise than in the past.  But there were a few pics that I got that I thought were pretty good.  Lots of focus anticipation, guessing, and luck and still they were not super sharp (some of that is because I'm shooting wide open).

Purim

Boys at SSW Purim Carnival.  With the grandparents in the surprisingly hot LA heat.  No fish this year, darn, now we don't have to buy that aquarium to keep feeder gold fish healthy and happy.

Sorry the pics have a surprisingly snap shot feel to them.  I don't like that will do better next time.
