For My Birthday

{11mm; 1/100s; f/5.6; ISO100; 12/31/09: Liz, Mom, and I went to Yosemite for some Winter fun. On the New Year's Eve, we woke up early and went up to Badger Pass on the shuttle bus for a Ranger guided snowshoeing adventure. Very fun, like winter hiking in style.}

De Young Has Vs

{11mm; 1/13s; f/5.0; ISO100; 12/26/09: The De Young is composed of many Vs that extend in to the body of the main museum. Little did I know, but they actually have view ports at the apex in the museum too look out.}

Ornaments - Monkey with Noah

{50mm; 1/60s; f/1.4; ISO200; 12/25/09: I think the low depth of field of the 1.4 really makes for interesting ornament shots.}

Ann's Quilts - Log Cabin #2

{50mm; 1/30s; f/1.4; ISO400; 12/25/09: The second in the series.}

De Young Entrance is Cracked

{11mm; 1/250s; f/2.8; ISO100; 12/26/09: The entrance of the De Young Museum in SF has a crack which extends from the sidewalk to the main entryway. It was put in place to represent the fault lines in the Bay Area.}

Ann's Quilts - Log Cabin #1

{50mm; 1/60s; f/1.4; ISO400; 12/25/09: Liz's Mom, Ann, makes some amazing quilts. I took a few pictures of their "log cabin" (a quilt style thing) centers. I think I might do some more of this on other patterns.}

Ornaments - Young Liz

{50mm; 1/60s; f/1.4; ISO400; 12/25/09: Merry Christmas everyone. I thought this would be cute.}
