It’s been a year since I purchased my first digital SLR. Of the photos I’ve taken over the last year this one of the San Diego skyline has the most views (2000+) on my Flickr photostream.

I hoping to get a few more of the skyline in the coming months.

Last weekend I took the family up to Julian for the “Apple Days” and Oktoberfest celebrations. It’s becoming a tradition of sorts. We had fun listening to live music, walking down Main Street, and picking apples.

Earlier in the week I went with my wife and boys to the San Diego Natural History Museum. The boys had a lot of fun looking at fossils, bones, and maps.

Several months ago I purchased the Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens and have been very, very pleased with it. I really enjoy using this lens in low light situations and for portraits. Each of the shots below were taken with it.

I took a quick trip to the east coast a few weeks ago. This photo was taken somewhere between Nashville and San Diego on my return trip.

We spent a morning at Mission Bay recently. My boys had a great time playing by the water. In this shot I caught my oldest in a more contemplative moment.

If you haven’t heard of PicLens yet I encourage you to visit the PicLens website and download the PicLens browser plugin.

PicLens enables you to view media-rich websites in a “3D wall”. The YouTube video below demonstrates how it works.

So far I’ve only used PicLens while browsing through photos on Flickr and it has worked wonderfully. Your mileage may vary.
