Mars Edit Revisited

Christopher — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:54:28 +0000

Long ago I tried Mars Edit, but never really gave it much of a go. I recently downloaded an updated version, so I’m trying it again. I suppose I ought to put a photo in here, just to see how that works in the new version, so here goes.

Leave it to Stephanie and Kendall to do up Steph’s 40th birthday party just right. The celebration took place at the Ballard Elk’s Club on Saturday, August 8th, and the theme was Prom Night – Forever Young.

Lots of fun was had by all. Here are a few pictures to whet your appetite. The rest are in these 3 galleries:

Elsie’s first haircut

Christopher — Fri, 22 May 2009 04:14:09 +0000

On a sunny Seattle afternoon in the merry month of May, Elsie got her golden locks trimmed for the very first time. Sandy had pondered the style (bob) and the timing (now) long enough and took scissors to hand, Stella shot video, Frances gathered curls into a ziplock for posterity’s sake, Aunt Steffi offered artistic guidance, and Elsie put on a brave face and sat through the ordeal as if she’s been to the salon on a regular basis for years and years.

I took pictures. Here are a few of the good ones:

Used Gods and Goddesses

On a recent trip to India I stumbled upon a graveyard of used gods and goddesses. It was hard to tell them apart.

Elsie gets her picture taken

Christopher — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 06:40:24 +0000

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer day to have a professional photographer show up at our house to take take pictures of Elsie. Sandy dressed up our little darling up in a vintage Hanna Andersson dress, handed down from cousin Frances. Our unkempt yard was the perfect backdrop. If you’re looking for a photographer, we highly recommend Lisa Loop. Elsie warmed up to her right away, and the pictures turned out beautifully.

Testing the WordPress application for posting from my phone. With a bit of luck it will display this text and a photo of Stella and Elsie.

Pink Bows and Gold Stars on Phinney Ridge

Christopher — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 19:26:27 +0000

Thanks to our friends at PhinneyWood.com for solving the mystery of the Pink Bows and Gold Stars decorating Palatine Avenue on Phinney Ridge.

“Pink bows and gold stars tied around/hanging from light poles/trees along the streets to the west of the hardware store and Ken’s Market, hung there by Logan and Piper … to mark the route regularly walked by their uncle as he fought to beat the cancer that ultimately claimed his life earlier this week.”

Here are a few photos of their beautiful memorial:

In my travels I have taken a lot of pictures of faces. Here are a few. And I’ve just created an album of faces in my photo gallery, which includes many more.

Bear hugs at Holden Village

Christopher — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:57:29 +0000

We made our annual pilgrimage to Holden Village over Labor Day weekend. This year’s expedition included Steph, Kendall, Stella, Frances, Sandy, Elsie, and myself. The weather was perfect, if a bit on the cool side. We took several kid-friendly hikes, saw some bears, ate our share of good Holden bread, and met Senator Maria Cantwell, who was also staying at the village. All in all, a very fun weekend.

We really missed going last year. The village was closed due to forest fires in the vicinity. This was Elsie’s first trip, and she clearly loved being there. It was very fun for her to have Frances and Stella to play with. I managed to get a short video clip of the 3 girls hamming it up, so I’ll make a valid attempt to post that in the coming days. In the meantime, I am putting an album of photos on my photo gallery page. Be sure to check it out.
