Oooo... Duckies!

On Father's Day in the city of Los Gatos, the Annual Charity Rubber Ducky Race was held. Basically, each rubber ducky was adopted by a person with a donation and the person with the winning duck got a prize. Pretty fun day even though the race itself lasted about 10 minutes. In one of the pics, you can see Steve Wozniak, the honorary guest who led off the race. Kathy Griffin was nowhere to be seen...

Maker Faire

Over the weekend, the San Mateo Expo Grounds hosted the 2009 Maker Faire, a two-day, family-friendly event to make, create, learn, invent, craft, recycle, think, play and be inspired by celebrating arts, crafts, engineering, food, music, science and technology. Jeannie and I spent the day wandering through the exhibition halls taking a look at all of the gadgets people had brought in to show. Definitely a place for inspiration and just general wackiness!

 
 

 
 

Visit to the Academy!

Yesterday I was at the Academy of Sciences up in the city and got a chance to snap a few shots of my cousin's baby as well as her friend's children. They were all so fun to shoot! With every shot, the eldest insisted on checking out the preview on the camera to make sure they were good. Hopefully she'll like them! Baby Calvin got caught up in a trance staring at all the fish too!

New York City!

Over Memorial Day weekend, my fiancee and I had a chance to head out to NYC for a little R&R. It's been years since I've been there and even longer for going there for reasons other than work - so this mini-vacation was well needed. Although the weather called for rain, we got lucky with warm sunny days during the entire time we were there! This was also my first opportunity to try out some new camera gear that I recently purchased so I shot as many things (albeit random) as I could. Here are just a few of my favs...

Victoria Learns To Wink

As much as I tried to take a "regular" photo of Victoria this evening, I caught her in her, "Look everyone, I can wink!" phase. So now I have about 50 photos where she insisted on looking like this in every shot...still precious though!
