Kimra’s Morning

This is Griffin sitting in his favorite spot. I attempted to use fill flash on this one but couldn’t get it to fire fast enough. This looks darker than I remember it being — I took a few with different manual settings before he eventually ran away from me, but none of them seemed quite right.

Getting Ready
Getting Ready
I was packing for a trip to a conference on Wednesday morning. When I pack, I have a habit of throwing everything I’m going to take onto the bed and then splitting it up into bags from one giant pile. I was down to little stuff by the time I took this photo (the camera was previously in the pile).

Bagels

I love this bagel shop because of its huge case right in the front (and because it has pumpernickel bagels, let’s be honest). I initially wanted to get the case straight-on so it would fill the whole frame with just bagels, trays, and labels, but the glare was awful. I still have more glare than I’d like, especially on the left side.

iPhones, Apps, and “Serious” Photography

More about the Hipstamatic images that made the front page of the NY Times

From the NYTimes Lens Blog:

Damon Winter of The New York Times hasĀ won third place for feature picture story from Pictures of the Year International (albeitĀ anonymously, for the time being) with photographs taken on an iPhone using the Hipstamatic app. Critics have pounced. The debate over the propriety of using apps, already hot, is intensifying.
