The Nephew, Part III

The Brother and The Sister-in-Law made the mistake of leaving me and The Grammie alone with The Nephew for lunchtime.  So, I had camera-time fun!

The begin, just a normal photograph.  The Nephew is obviously happy because I decided to share my lunch with him.  I am guessing it was his first time ever having BBQ briskette, hence the grin!



He sure does like making faces...



Dubiously checking out whatever The Grammie is doing over there.



Yes, that is Mac-and-Cheese being squeezed by his tiny little fist.  He also got to have some baked beans from my lunch.  Yum.


Now, The Nephew isn't stupid.  He quickly realized that every time I pointed the camera at him, there was a bright light flashing in his eyes.  Now, to be fair, I was actually bouncing the flash off the wall behind me, because using a flash that bright directly in a baby's face would just not be cool!  Anyway, he invented a new game where he scrunched up his face in sheer anticipation of the flashy thingy!

The Nephew and Me

The Nephew was in a remarkably good mood after we fed him (more on the meal later!) and let me hold him while my Mom snapped a few photos with her camera.  So, here I am, with the Nephew.



If you look closely, you can see the logo on his shirt - Aperture Laboratories Test Subject :)

Some photos of me

Obviously not taken by me...

Me being very cool on the way to the Sand Cave at Cumberland Gap National Historic Park:


A sense of how big the Sand Cave actually is:


This might actually be me taking my first "published" photograph!

The Nephew, Part II

Baby is unimpressed


But look at that smile!


"Meh, I've seen better snowmen!"


"Got me a new car for Christmas, hellz yeah!"


"Aw hell, what did I run over this time?"

The Nephew, Part I

Well, Christmas has come and gone.  Now it's time for obligatory photos of the nephew.  He's just very slightly over a year old now, and quite the dapper little man.  I managed to catch him in a good mood for some shots!

He had no clue Mommy put this ribbon on his head....



I think I just took a crystal Christmas Tree out of his hands, hence the displeasure



Chillin' in the recliner



ZOMG HOW CUTE!

Downtown Knoxville

Got a bit stir-crazy this evening, so went Downtown to see if I could improve on the pictures I took of the lights and the water swirl.  Turns out - nope, conditions weren't good for that at all.  Took a couple of other shots though, just messing around.

I like the ghostly First Tennessee logo in the sky.  Did I mention that tonight was wicked foggy??





WTF, roses???  I didn't wait for all the wind to stop,so the flower isn't quite as nice as I would like.

More duckies

Ducks at Chilhowee Park

Taken the same day as the autocross photos.



Ducks are cool because they have no fear and stay still.  Nuff said.

Autocross photo dump, pt. 2

Autocross photo dump

Not touched up, just needed to get these out of my queue.

A couple more photos from night photography class

This is the same shot as the one from an earlier post, but run through Photomatix to mess with it a bit (bring out the swirls, up the color, etc.).
