Photography and Composition

Sometimes you see a photo and you are drawn to the way things work in the picture. Composition. I love the these pictures because they are of my children, but more than that, I find the pictures striking for the way they present the subject and surroundings.

The picture of Ace was a lucky shot (I think, I don't remember if I put that much thought into the picture when I took it) that I grabbed with my cell phone.

The picture of Little Dude was taken by a friend while Margo and I were out biking. Maybe that is why I love it. I keep returning to this picture to try to figure out what I love about it so I can file that in my mental picture taking reserves. Thanks Tory.

Pictures that I really love from Moab

I really love these pictures that Tory took in Moab last weekend and I thought you might like them as well. Above, Smallest Monster was enjoying some bop the balloon game and when Tory got down on the floor to take some pictures, he jumped right at the camera and he was able to capture this picture. So perfect!
Here we have a great picture of two beautiful women out on Moab Rim, obviously enjoying themselves. Checkout the girlie WaltWorks head tube sticker.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Margo. Ever. This is how I picture Margo in my head. Happy. Laughing. Lovely.

Moab

Last weekend we went as a family to Moab and it was so good that I feel the need to tease you with this super bitchin picture of, well, me. Margo took this picture with my cell phone while we were out enjoying some time on slick rock, just the two of us. Huge thanks to our friends Tory and John for taking care of the kids yesterday morning while we rocked some slick rock.

Here is a video of Margo ripping some fun Slick Rock riding for your enjoyment. I am working on a way to do better videos. Sorry for the low-fi. I will continue to mess with the video settings on my phone and different uploads. If you don't see this video, then QuickTime is not your default mp4 player, I will work on that too.
