My lapel pin collection. This camera is not as nice as the F30, which was dropped and subsequently died.

Enzo and Annabelle. Enzo started walking more than crawling. Probably yesterday or today he passed the threshold. It is great.

I am officially NOT doing photoaday in 2008. In fact, I am thinking of selling off my DSLR gear.

Enzo is very diligent about answering all of his fan emails.

(My old web host went out of business with little notice. I will upload the old photos to the new server. One of these days.)

Annabelle turns three today!

This is her main present which I made for her. I haven't stained it yet, and I'm not sure if I will. She needs a space where she can keep her tools and play safely near my workshop. When we showed it to her this afternoon her response was just what I needed; a very heartfelt "Oh, I love it!" Love love love that kid.

Excuse the poor quality photos, my D200 wasn't handy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNABELLE!!

And Enzo with my parents

Enzo. Not worshiping me. (Yet.) But rather, standing on his own.

Annabelle likes to rock the iPod.

There is no photograph from March 28th! I am largely at peace with this. Quite a while back, I posted that I would cease the photoaday project. For over a year, it has been a real drain on my photography. The incessant and mechanical nature of my daily photo routine has removed the fun from photography. So for a while I knew that I was going to stop sooner rather than later.

A few nights recently I had really grappled with it, but always wound up finding something to photograph. Last night, knowing that I hadn’t shot anything, I went to bed and felt fine. So there you have it. In a while I will pick up my camera and hopefully it won’t feel like a chore. Who knows. I am probably going to start posting here in a sporadic manner, but I will figure this out over time. For now though it is a long needed break from photography—and while I am sad that this end occurs only a few days short of the 4th anniversary—I am relieved to be done.

1,441 consecutive days. Right now, I am not enjoying photography at all, and haven’t for a while. Hopefully this can be overcome with time. Thanks everyone for your comments and such.
