Jer & Min Photography

I shot this photo for a B&W entry for Photo Challenge.  I’m not sure which one I like best.

My youngest son Gage absolutely adores his older brother Toby.  Today was Toby’s first day of kindergarten.  I went home during my lunch break to watch him get on the bus.  Prior to leaving the house, Gage gave Toby a hug and that is what I captured.  I wish I would have been ready to shoot a shot of Gage as Toby got on the bus.  Evidently Gage thought he was going with Toby and tried to follow him on which led to some crying.  I’m grateful my kids love each other and feel that connection.

I realize it is very snap shot-ish.  That is what it was, but it invokes the emotion in me.

As we’ve been staying at this house, we’ve considered it a castle.  Today’s shot is a stretch, but I’m publishing it.  It is of my son being the knight coming to the rescue.

We have a little family joke that we name our Toes “A”, “B”, “C”, etc. We do this as it is a play on Toby’s name that his second toe is Toe “B”. Not really funny, but we get a kick out of it.

I’m very lucky, I work .4 miles from my home.  My commute is very minor, in fact, I can walk my commute in a matter of minutes.  This is a view of the rush hour traffic that I only hit once I get on my street.

My son was spinning as well, but my favorite shot we took was of him no longer being able to spin.  Of course, to him, the world was still spinning when this shot was taken.

We had a wonderful time coloring eggs today.  I captured the entire event using a remote fired flash sitting in a high-tech shoe light stand taught by the strobist.

Strobist: Single flash 1/2 power sitting in a shoe pointing at the wall for bounce.  The flash was triggered by a Cybersync trigger.

Brinci, Toby, Chandra, and Chris were playing the fast paced card game of war.

Okay, so I had decided I wasn’t going to shoot Toby for a while because you all are probably getting sick of him.  But, look at how he dressed himself today.  I couldn’t help it.
