I spent this weekend up in Williams, Arizona at Lost Canyon. It was a men’s retreat where hundreds of men came together to celebrate Jesus Christ and spend time together.
This photo is from late Friday afternoon. The weather was beautiful and I hope this picture captures that. Notice the snow on the mountain in the reflection off the window.

This is a single exposure photo – not a composite. When the camera triggered, I was sitting down. I had a canon 430ex II directly in front of me at 1/16 power through a snoot and 50mm zoom. There was a Vivitar 285hv camera left at eye level at 1/8 power. Both triggered with Cactus V4. After the camera fired, I stood up and stook next to my self. With a 6 second exposure, I was able to burn into the image with the help of ambient light.

I was able to tear myself away from Bejeweled Blitz on the iPhone long enough to take this picture. I was messing around with a white aperture (f/3.2), a flash, and a long exposure (2.5 seconds).
Strobist: Canon 430 ex II sitting on the ground camera left at about a 45 degree angle. 1/4 power at 24mm zoom bare. Triggered with a Cactus V4.

Every two weeks on the button Tyler gets a fever that lasts from 2 to 5 days. You would never know during the 6 hours the Tylenol is working, but when it wears off, this is how he looks. The doctors say it’s PFAPA and he’ll grow out of it. I can’t wait until he does.
This photo was taken in complete darkness as he slept. When I told him I still needed to take my photo, he asked me to take it of him. I think he didn’t want to be alone 
He fell asleep as I was taking it.

Hard to get behind this after today. Long day capped off by an emergency hot water-ectomy. All is good and all is done. Better day coming tomorrow.

You have to consistently and constantly remind yourself how precious they are to extend your patience during the trying times.
Happy Mother’s Day.

As we were getting ready to start our day today, Mayah looked out the window and yelled, "Hey, there’s a chicken in the backyard."
We spent some time puzzling over what to do with our new found friend, before spotting some distant neighbors looking over the fences in the area. "I think we found your chicken," I called.
This was taken with my iPhone and processed in Photoshop Mobile.

The kids got these little grow pets – like chia pets – for Easter. This week, they started watering them and they sprouted. Pretty fun stuff.
