This week I decided to do a quick self portrait.
This time I had two challenges. First was getting my eyes into sharper focus, as the camera kept finding my goatee and knuckles first. Second I tweaked the aperture to properly blur the background, as well as positioned myself to block out the bulk of the [...]

This week’s Photo Friday is a bit lazy. My son’s park district basketball team had a game tonight, and we had a few other things going on so I figured this would be easier than getting creative.
I’ve never been a big basketball fan, but it’s fun watching the little guys run around and do their [...]

This week’s Photo Friday pic comes from the Throwdown IV MMA event in East Peoria Saturday night. We were treated to almost 30 great fights, and my friends and I had a great time.
This is the third Throwdown event I’ve attended at the East Peoria Event Center, and the event gets a little better every [...]

I took this picture on Friday, but I was out running around all weekend and haven’t had a chance to upload them until now. This time I used our family game night to grab the picture.

For this Photo Friday I [...]

Last year, the goal was to do more with photography.
Oops.
So this year I figure I best start strong. Rather than messing with a focused theme like 52 Weeks or joining another group, I dreamed up Photo Friday. Every Friday, I’ll post a picture or two of whatever strikes me at the time. To get rolling, [...]
