Father’s Day

This is a belated father’s day post, which I had been meaning to put up since, well, Father’s Day. We spent the day in Abilene and had a great time. Of course I brought the camera and have an album of pictures. I got several great shots of Dad. As always, click an image for a larger version in the gallery.

My Favorite Shot of the Day

Perhaps my favorite shot of the day was a reflection of Dad that I capture in a pair of metal serving spoons as he cleaned the dishes. Now I realize that no matter how I write this, I come across as an awful son. But seriously, Amy and I cooked, cleaned, and helped throughout the day. I just grabbed the camera a few times as the opportunities presented themselves, and I was helping in the kitchen when I noticed the reflection. (Hmmm, let me re-read that last sentence… Dad is cleaning dishes while I took a picture. Yep, I still sound like a jerk.)

The Best Shot of the Day

I also grabbed the following candid shot. The funny thing was that we were talking about cameras and I took some pictures just to show how some settings work. I wasn’t planning on actually getting a good one.

Finally, the Funniest Shot of the Day

I had been trying to get a picture of Dad as he was unpacking the box. Frustratingly, I couldn’t be fast enough to get his face as he stood up from the box. Finally in frustration, I said “Be a gopher!”. He cooperated and popped up from behind the box. The picture is priceless!
