Baby Ryan Rockwell (sister Katie Rockwell)
Born 8:16:30 PM, 15 December 2006, La Jolla, California. 8 pounds, 12.2 ounces (3,975g). 20" (51 cm). The technical gobbledygook after each shot is the equipment I used for each photo. Many photographer friends ask. 30 May 2008, Friday See Ryan help rock baby Katie gently to sleep. (may need free Quicktime Video Player.) Ryan's such a piggy-poo (like his dad) that he's decided to go straight to the source! Enough of those little bottles! (Casio EX-V8) Ryan's favorite thing in the whole world is to play in our cars. This morning, after he had a bottle, he grabbed my thumb, and dragged me down to the garage where he played in each of the cars. (Casio EX-V8, "soft" flash.) Ryan working on an apple. (Nikon D3, NEUTRAL with +1 saturation picture control, normal ADR, auto WB, 50mm f/1.4 AF-D, SB-400 flash bounced off ceiling, Program auto chose 1/60 at f/5.6, Auto ISO chose ISO 200.)

18 May 2008, Sunday Ryan has grown two inches this weekend. He is now tall enough to turn the lights ON as well as OFF, tapping Decora switches. He also can grab the remote control from the top of mom's 300-pound CRT HDTV. Ryan's vocabulary expands. He can mumble: Mama Dada Open Elmo Oh oh Nana Buster (our big dog) And Ryan understands the words: Nipple (if you say this near him, expect a couple of purple nurples) Button Baby (kisses mom's tummy, holding baby Katie) Nose (gets your nose twisted) Ear (maybe)

11 May 2008, Mothers' Day Ryan checking out the loud musical crab.
10 May 2008, Saturday Ryan's wet footprint from running around on the grass. (Canon SD790)
09 May 2008, Friday Ryan is now a leader of men: he's learned to grab our thumb (or toe) and pull us to something he wants us to do for him. Why do it himself when he can have someone else do it for him? As a leader, he's learned that far more is accomplished by guiding others than trying to do it yourself.
08 May 2008, Thursday Ryan's actually much better with a chop stick than this photo implies. (Canon SD790)

(Nikon D3, (NEUTRAL and +1 Saturation?), normal ADR, 24-70mm f/2.8 AF-S at 48mm, Program auto chose f/2.8 at 1/125, Auto ISO chose ISO 3,200. If I had brought the 50mm f/1.4, I'd have been able to shoot at ISO 800 instead.)
03 May 2008, Saturday Daddy always get blamed for locking out mommy. (Canon SD790)
02 May 2008, Friday
Having fancy tools doesn't mean you know what to do with them. (Don't worry, mom only feeds the dogs fresh, filtered and purified water. Canon SD770)
