Big Boy Ryan 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. 19 March 2011, Sunday Katie, Dada and Ryan. (Nikon D7000, Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX, Nikon SB-400, my standard U2 settings gave ISO 100, 1/200 at f/16.)

A totally soaked Ryan at the microphone. (Nikon D7000, Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX, Nikon SB-400, my standard U2 settings gave ISO 220, 1/125 at f/5.6.)
17 March 2011, Saint Patrick's Day Saint Patrick's Day party at La Jolla Country Day School! Yay!!! Ryan making his cupcake. (Nikon D7000, Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX, my standard U2 settings (except no exposure compensation) gave ISO 320, 1/125 at f/1.8.)

Ryan kidding at story time. (Nikon D7000, Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX, my standard U2 settings gave ISO 220, 1/125 at f/1.8.)
Ryan behaving at story time. (Nikon D7000, Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX, my standard U2 settings gave ISO 220, 1/125 at f/1.8.) The mysterious scab on the inside curve of Ryan's nose is because he accidentally dipped his head down while Ryan and Katie insisted on Monday night that I pull them around on the carpet. They thought it was the funniest thing on Earth when each grabbed one of my ankles and said "go, Dada, go!" They wouldn't let me stop, and I cautioned them that they might get hot as I dragged them all over our condo on the carpet.

05 January 2011, Wednesday Ryan is such a lady-pleaser at Disneyland. (snap by mom on her phone).

22 January 2011, Saturday
Ryan on the jumpy thing. (Fuji Velvia 100, Contax G2, Zeiss 45mm lens, Contax A2 filter, Contax TLA140 flash, as-shot. The G2's TTL circuits do an awful job for fill-flash, usually overexposing.)
21 January 2011, Friday Ryan on mom's back at Disneyland. (Fuji Velvia 100, Contax G2, Zeiss 45mm lens, Contax A2 filter, Contax TLA140 flash. These colors looked even worse on-film; I had to twist it in Photoshop with a lot of complex color curves layers: this film and A2 (81B) filter goes psycho with magentas. Velvia 100 isn't the ticket for people photos, and the G2's TTL circuits do an awful job for fill-flash, overexposing even though Contax claims the system is capable of "perfectly balanced fill exposure every time.")
