Week 41 - Jordan

They put up art semi-recently in the new buildings at work. Some of them look pretty boring, like over-starched tie-dye t-shirts. This one is actually pretty interesting. There seems to be something printed on the individual butterflies that are made of metal, as you can see here.

Week 41 - Nate

I didn’t get out to use my camera for anything creative this week so I’m cheating and using another shot from the high-ISO workout last week. While we were at First Fridays we came across a group called Quixotic performing. We arrived late so we had to stand at the back but I still got a few good pictures. This guy played a mean violin.

Week 40 - Nate

I was giving the new camera a high-ISO workout at First Friday’s and happened across a really pretty girl with a cute little black dog. Wish I knew her name…

Week 40 - Jordan

Went to a Windows 7 House Party + Housewarming part for Jeremy and Shelby this week. We were encouraged to dress up to a 1920's theme. Joel did, with his white suit. I guess he stole Shelby’s hat when he got there.

Week 39 - Jordan

We're not getting much of a "fall" up here in the north, and I hear the story is similar in other places. Luckily, I was able to go out on a decent day while Molly and I were in Nebraska and take a few photos. One of them actually involved leaves that had been able to change color. Pretty amazing, all things considered!

Week 39 - Nate

I got a new camera this week from my wonderful wife. Instead of taking the self-portrait that Jordan suggested (sorry!), I had the camera take a picture of itself using a couple of mirrors, live-view and a 2-second timer. I think it worked well. Turns out when you have 18 MP, you can crop to your hearts content which is all I had to do in post. :-)

Week 38 – Nate

For the first time since the wedding, we had a lazy Saturday. Didn’t get much accomplished, but it was nice to relax. Although she’s a bit camera shy, Maggie did enjoy having us around.

This week was the world’s largest ice cream social. Did you go?

Week 37 – Jordan

Finally took a few pictures of the outside of the house after we’ve done landscaping and planted trees. How’s the backyard? Not ready for pictures. Hopefully it will start sprouting grass soon, though. If you want, you can compare the photo below to the original look of the front of the house that I’ve posted before!
