Time for some Friday photos. One from vacation and one from the first day of school.
Three of the ten beautiful horses at our vacation home. We would walk right around them and pet them as we fished.
Whenever we pose the kids for the first day of school photo (and most other times, too), we end with something goofy. This is what we got. This probably represents who they are better than standing up straight and smiling!
My brother, Scott McCoy, took a "Back To School" photo that has gotten some buzz and was actually interviewed by CNN. It's not my sense of humor, but it's exactly what I would expect from Scott. And it's a well-executed. CNN/HLN is supposed to run it soon, maybe on a morning show. Pretty cool.
My daughter Sarah (15) makes some wicked-cool art. This is in process.
Trying to capture a memorable moment during a sporting event isn't easy. You never know when it's coming. You make guesses and take lots of pictures that are just ok at best. I think I got a good one with Elijah running in a cross country meet. You can also check out the rest of my photography.
I enjoy catching moments in which the mundane becomes interesting. This was a touristy spot in a touristy city with my touristy kid with a touristy dad with a touristy camera. But a mild post-processing filter plays with the light and makes it interesting to me.

Two photos: First, Sarah fishing while on vacation in Branson, Missouri. We were surrounded by storms. Second, Sarah can't just let our first day of school photo be normal. She's a treat!

Parent-teacher conferences aren't just about grades. Last autumn my daughter's high school art teacher, during a parent-teacher conference concerning my daughter's art (which is wonderful, by the way), also told me about Starline Gallery in Harvard, IL. It sounded great: an old factory converted into art studios, a monthly gallery called "4th Fridays", etc. Every time one came up on the calendar, there was something else I couldn't miss. Last Friday we finally made one...and it was spectacular.
We brought our four kiddos and they loved it too. Afterwards we all discussed our favorite piece(s). Here are some of mine...
Here are the last 4 years in Christmas card photos we have sent out. I'll post our 2011 Christmas card photo when the time comes.

Sarah and I were walking out of Java Planet yesterday just after a storm passed and I asked her to do that one superhero thing she does. If she aims it at you, you die. Beware. Actually, just after I took this a double rainbow showed up and I didn't take a picture. I was too busy wondering what it meant. See more of my photography.
My daughter at her locker down a hallway at Woodstock North High School. Taken with my HTC EVO & post-processed with Picnik. See all of my photography, including the 10 most liked photos in my stream.
