These are some of our fresh eggs from the chickens. We collect for the co-op once a week, and we are getting between one and almost two dozen fresh eggs each time we go. Lit with a single Speedlite bounced off the kitchen ceiling.

We have ben really enjoying the fresh friuts and vegetables that have been coming our CSA box. Locally grown foods just seem to tast better, not to mention being better for our environment and our community farms. This is a slice of watermelon and some seeds that we enjoyed for desert the other day. Delicious!

We’ve got a lot of bids around our yard, but the one nest we always find is the robin’s nest. Sometimes the robins build their nest in obvious locations, sometimes not so obvious. Regardless of the location, Mrs Robbin always seems to give away her position by fleeing the nest and frantically trying to draw [...]

This is really a friend’s housecat, but between the royal colored background and the regal posturing I thought the photo has a very noble feel to it. (I suspect the posturing is the cat wondering what my flash is and how many more times it was going to fire a bright light into his eyes.)

A couple of old books from the bookshelf. It’s the second appearance in this project for the one on the bottom. The "bookmark" in the top book actually some old and brittle foreign cash that I thought I would use for today’s photo. Haven’t found an interesting way to photograph it yet, but I really [...]

Willing Bear – 050/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. I have a lot of great candid shots of the kids, but not too many that are posed and even fewer of those done with proper lights. With my Speedlite mounted on the wireless receiver on top of a tripod I set out to try such [...]

Chocolate Stout V – 037/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. Today I mentioned to my friends that I had survived the 1yr-old’s birthday and was sitting down to enjoy a chocolate stout. When I mentioned that I would be posting pictures later, many of them joked that they were looking forward to seeing the pictures [...]

Up the Creek – 029/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. So I was pouring myself a drink last night and contemplating this great gift that Santa brought me. It seemed like a good idea to make a nice photo of it before it was completely gone, and before I knew it I was setting up [...]

Game On – 025/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. Monday was a busy day… not a lot of time for planning a daily photo. I did, however, bring my camera with me while I ran out to get haircuts with my son. After our cuts we played a game of checkers in the barber’s lobby. [...]

Solubility – 003/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. For today’s entry I went for something a little more purposeful. We have a handful of these great old books that are in a beautiful state of decay. I set up the rig with a 50mm prime wide open for a very shallow DOF. I turned off [...]
