Back to the Future Project (2011)

Mike B. — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:44:15 +0000

It's been around for a while, but I still get a kick out of this "Back to the Future" project (warning: one image has boobies). The premise is to re-capture an identical image from your youth as a grown-up:

Merry Christmas!

Osama Sans Beard

Somehow, without the beard, he looks a lot less threatening. Even a little bit goofy looking.

Obama and Kid in Oval Office

I was glancing through some pictures from Obama's first 167 days - good stuff all around, but this picture seized me and would not let go. What a wonderful moment for this kid (and, I would imagine, a whole subset of kids across the nation):

President Obama bends over so the son of a White House staff member can pat his head during a family visit to the Oval Office May 8, 2009. The youngster wanted to see if the President's haircut felt like his own. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

Nathaniel Edmunds Website

Mike B. — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 02:09:59 +0000

It just occurred to me that I haven't yet posted about a big web development project that I just wrapped up: NathanielEdmunds.com. Nathaniel Edmunds is a brother-sister wedding photography team in the Indianapolis area. They regularly travel all over the midwest shooting weddings, and have often been brought along to destination weddings.

Nate is the perfect wedding photographer, able to capture moments without you even knowing he's there. He's young and fun and just a damn good person. And Tiffany is also an extraordinary person, able to coordinate and organize everything from the initial concept meeting to the final album design (and everything in between). Shannon and I highly recommend their services.

Here's a screenshot of their new site:

Photo Shoot with Nathan

Mike B. — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 15:15:41 +0000

We spent part of the afternoon on Sunday hanging out with Nate Rowe (the photographer) at White River State Park. It was a beautiful day and he got some great shots of Libby.

Here's a snapshot he took with our little camera (the ones he got with his professional gear are even better):

Kamshots Photo Blog

Mike B. — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 04:40:23 +0000

Kamshots, a photo blog run by a gentleman named Kamyar Adl, is dedicated to showcasing a photograph each day. Most of his subjects appear to be random (everyday) people who happen to cross the photographer's path along the busy streets of England.

Kamshots is just one of several photo blogs that I like to visit; I particularly enjoy it because I am reminded of England and the time I spent there growing up.

Great Desktop Wallpaper

Mike B. — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 22:08:56 +0000

I love a good background on my desktops - it just makes everything look better. I just found another good source for images: InterfaceLIFT. Unfortunately, like many free wallpaper sites, the pages are laden with ads; fortunately, the images are well worth the visual cacophony.

If you are wanting to see what Vista (the next version of Windows) may use for it's default backgrounds, look no futher than this random page.

Visual appetite not yet sated? Check out Michael Swanson's blog for some great macro photography of nature.

Laurie’s Beautiful Boston Wedding

Mike B. — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 21:47:32 +0000

Once again Nathan (our wedding photographer and good friend) has captured some pretty incredible moments that really convey the mood of his subjects. He seems to be everyone at once, capturing minute details and grandiose vistas effortlessly.

The album is from Laurie and Brent's (also our good friends) beautiful Boston ceremony. Shannon was there to assist in photographing the event and to celebrate a start to their new life together.

Photographing Birthday Parties

Mike B. — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 07:19:28 +0000

Ran across a pretty cool photography site that suggests techniques on photographing a children's birthday party. The advice was sound, but the example pictures were even better (particularly the one in this entry).

Camera is Broken

Mike B. — Sun, 08 Jan 2006 07:40:27 +0000

Our beloved camera (Canon S230) is broken, so those of you wondering why pictures have not been posted recently can stop worrying that we are dead. While it can still take photos the focusing mechanism is very unreliable, so we come back with a lot of blurry shots (made even more frustrating since we cannot tell the shots are blurry when taken due to the small camera LCD).
