Pumpkin Festival

Bouncers

Second level on a double decker

Went to the Calabasas Pumpkin Festival last week.  Kids had an okay time, not really centered on pumpkins or Halloween, just like a small fair.

Chef and Sous Chef

The Chef and Sous Chef.

More rear curtain sync.  So retro, should have used a ring flash too.

Sukkah Gone Wild

Well it's Sukkot so we put the Sukkah up.  Decorated it with LED holiday lights, construction paper chains, and art work from G.  We don't normally give G any cookies except special times and as you can see, sugar goes a long way with him.

On a photo note, I used some good old fashion rear curtain syc with flash, albeit on axis.  It's got a fun ghosting effect that always reminds me of an image in a Duran Duran album, hey I just aged myself, but don't remember which one.  If you know which album, please let me know in a comment.

Occupy Tarzana or Mr. Roboto II

Another cardboard creation, it was intended as a robot but looks more Occupy Tarzana.

Moto

Can't wait to go mountain biking or BMX with both boys.  For now, they are practicing putting on their best moto faces, working on their bikes, measuring skid marks, and having fun.
