Disneyland 2010

Vacation, Family, perfect weather, and a Magic Kingdom filled with all of our favorite characters. You bet we had fun! Images are here.

Catching up

FINALLY, I'm actually catching up on photography. If I actually get caught up to date, I imagine I'll actually be inspired to go out and take some more pictures. We'll see.

I've recently posted images from Disneyland (October '08) and Christmas 2008. Click the links to follow through to the galleries.

Half-Pint Prints Holiday '08 update - December 12, 2008.

Happy Holidays, everyone. Time to change the password for Half-Pint. I sent it out in a bulk email earlier today. If you didn't receive it, please send me an email and I'll get it to you. The email link is at the top of each Half-Pint page.

The photographic additions to Half-Pint since the last email are:

• Daniel's Birthday (link)
  
• Aaron's Birthday (link)
  
• a trip to New Jersey (I actually hung out with Giants fans...link)
• Marla and Joshua's wedding (link)
• Michael's Baptism (link)
  
• a few pictures from Disneyland (these are not my images... they were taken by the Disneyland Staff Pros.)
• and of course, pictures of our adorable little kids - here, here, and our expected third here
  

I am still way behind, and will be adding pictures from Legoland, Disneyland, Grandpa's 70th, Halloween, Zack's Birthday, Andrew's Birthday, Six Flags, and Addison's Christening. Subscribe if you want to know when things get added (see below for details)
The technical changes for Half-Pint are:

• The Blog. Though mentioned last time, bugs are now ironed out and I'm posting as frequently as necessary. It is a good place to get updates about new gallery additions. It is at blog.halfpintprints.com
• Google Earth. I have a small number of photos up now on Google Earth. If you are interested, follow this link: http://www.panoramio.com/kml/?user=1847300. It will ask you what to do with the file:
  
  Select "Open with," click "Browse" and select Google Earth from the list. Google Earth will launch and you will see "sskoutas photos" in your "places" window on the left of the Google Earth Screen. 5 images should be available. More to come. Don't have Google Earth? Shame on you. It is very cool. Get it here.
• Google Friend Connect. This is an experimental addition to Half-Pint that may or may not last. Try it out. Let me know what you think. It is on the right hand side of the blog pages.
  
• RSS / Atom subscriptions. At the bottom of the homepage, you will find an icon for available feeds. Click on it if you wish to subscribe to the gallery update feed. The downside is it will not give you updates for password-protected images. A better option may be to subscribe to the blog. Click here if you would like to do that, or find the ATOM link at the bottom of the blog page.

As always:

• If you don’t want to be on this distribution list, email me and you will be removed.
• If you have pictures up here that you don’t want up here, tell me and they will be removed.
• If you have any password concerns with your images, let me know.
• If you want a gallery password protected that isn’t, let me know.
• If you know someone would want to be added, tell them to email me.
• Feel free to share gallery access with others that might be interested.
• Contributions for “The Old Shoebox” and “Photographs and Memories” nostalgia galleries always welcome.

Be happy and be well, and please enjoy your holidays!

Disneyland '08

I took a bunch of pictures at Legoland and Disneyland, but it is going to be quite a while until I get to them. In the interim, I have posted the images that the Disneyland Pro Photographers took of us while we were there. You can find them here.

I've also added a few new Emily and Zack pictures from this summer.
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

Another project completed

I've completed and posted everything from our summer visit to New Jersey last night. Enjoy.

I'm looking at the first pictures from Disneyland tonight. These are not my pictures, they are taken by the Disney Staff Pro Photographers, and will be duly noted as such when posted. I suggest checking back tomorrow night, as I doubt I'll have much of this posted tonight.

I've also worked on a few miscellaneous shots of the kids, which can be found here and here.

Working on Photography Projects again

I'm back at my desk now and working on photography projects again. Right now I'm processing photos from our summer visit to New Jersey. I'd say I am about 30% complete. I also downloaded and backed up all of the images from our trip to California last week (11 CF cards / 26GB of images).

Although I do have a few priority images that I want to work on right away, I intend to keep on processing in chronological order.

Disneyland's studio images taken by their staff pros should be arriving today or tomorrow on CD, and I'll post them when I receive them.

Back home!

It feels good to be back home.

We spent the last week having an absolute blast in beautiful southern California. We spent 2 days at Lego Land, 4 days at Disneyland, and a couple of days in Los Angeles to catch up with family, share a ton of laughs and good times, and to celebrate a special birthday for Mike.

Our kids absolutely adored their west coast cousins and we did too. It's going to be a while before the pictures are ready to post, but I will let you all know when they are.
