I am indeed blessed to have three terrifically photogenic kids to use as subjects. The aforementioned terrifically photogenic kids are less thrilled by this prospect, but I am able to get some decent shots from them from time to time.

This is what happens when you combine a rainy day, an empty parking deck, and a two foot tall Godzilla wannabe. This image was taken on July 4, 2008 and while the weather wasn’t cooperative, watching Mia charging up and down the parking deck more than made More >
