David and Jennilyn

Have you ever had a song come on the radio just once and you loved it but couldn’t remember it. You listen to the same channel again and again hoping it comes back on and it doesn’t?

While I was away at An Event Apart 2010 Seattle web conference for a few days, Kadie pulled up a stool to the printer and imitated sending me an e-mail with our printer. What a thoughtful daughter.

This is the MAX we rode home after a nice dinner at Typhoon. We had a lovely vegetable with rice noodle dish and green curry with chicken.

I’m thankful for the transit system in Portland as it allows us to have one car for our family. Vernier provides an annual pass so I can ride the MAX for free to work everyday, which gives me a little exercise, reduces air pollution, and saves us money from wear-and-tear on our car.

Sunrise and sunset really are the golden hours of photography. I’m sure Tri-Met would not have been happy to see me trekking near the tracks on loose rocks to get this shot. Thankfully, I timed it right so there were no trains to blow their horns at me.

I increased the dynamic range of this photo by using the automatic exposure bracket function which took three successive shots, one underexposed, one as set, and one overexposed. This allowed me to get a well-exposed shot of the sky as well as some detail in the creek in the foreground.

Sometimes, I read about a function which all I do is tuck away in my memory—because it could come in handy someday. And today was that someday.
