  • contrast (otp100)

    this series is also courtesy of the selfie stick. The front facing camera sucks, but the payoff of extreme perspectives is well worth the tradeoff at times.

    a couple windows from China, one being the view from my bed, the other in line for roasted chestnuts.

  • perspective (otp97)

    Sometimes when mulling an assignment you stumble across just the right place. Even so, I still end up shooting the heck out of it. I grew up with film but I got into photography after digital so I’m not good with limited shot counts.

    This is a wall for a school outside aunt’s apartment in Hangzhou.

    Breakfast.

  • morning routine (otp186)

    There was a certain frustration with this China trip because we managed to pick about three straight weeks of rain out of the four we were there. But then again, where could we really go with a 19 month old? Aside from maybe picking up some buns in the morning, our morning routine was a big pile of steamed yams and corn, which our daughter absolutely loved to eat.

  • tools (otp185)

    I went digging around Grandma’s little enclosed porch and back yard for a couple shots.

  • new place (otp183)

    The place itself wasn’t new per se, since it was in between a supermarket and TJ Maxx we frequent…but this was the first time we actually walked between the two places.

  • twisted (otp182)

    I was surprised at how nice the light was with just a single desk lamp in that shot of my wife’s origami hobby.

  • absence (otp181)

    Had a rough one with this one also. But the supermarket seems to often be a great cure-all.

  • stairs (otp180)

    Powder Room

    I tried some real stairs, but ended up going with this last one in the powder room with the little steps for the toddler to get up and wash her hands myself…but I think my favorite is this shot I got at the park.
