The Homestead #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This is a shot of the backyard that was my childhood playground. There are a few things that have changed over time (minus two or three trees, among other things) but the one constant is that swamp cooler.

Hoop It Up #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I really like the way this picture turned out. The texture of the ball is amazing.

Creamed Corn's Folsom Prison #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Another shot of a conglomerate of shopping carts. I like how the paper in the first cart is somewhat readable.

On the Wall #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I was surprised that this turned out as well as it did, having shot this in the basement with a single light bulb as the only source of light. Turned out well.

Up, Up & Away #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Ah, now this picture brings back memories. This is one of the two swings in the back yard at my parents house. We used to really get going on these and then jump off and go flying. I'm surprised that we never broke any bones.

The Lone Milk Carton #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Sitting at the table one morning, I thought it might be nice to get a picture of the milk carton. Don't ask why, I have no idea...

Fancy Sleeping #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Sawyer fell asleep with his pinky up—we call that "fancy" sleeping around here. Too funny.

Where's the Grease For the Squeaky Hinge? #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Another great shot (in my opinion) from my parents house. The lines in this really speak to me—kind of like if walls could talk; this door is full of stories.

Sunlight & Soda #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I caught this little life moment the other night as the sun was coming in through the front window. I love how you can see the words reflecting off of the can onto the table.

Whistler's Mothers Chair #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This chair isn't really the chair that Whistler's Mother sat in, but it got your attention, didn't it? This was actually at the studio where we got Sawyer's pictures done at.

The Letter U (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Again, there are many opportunities to find letters on site at construction sites. This was some sort of a staple I found at our new place.

The Ultimate Hose Attachment #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Like the cars of yesterday, I am not sure they make these sturdy, metal hose attachments anymore (I could totally be wrong, though). Great summer memories...

Sunshine, Rain and Training Wheels #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Summer rain is the best—even when the thunder wakes up my kids. Nothing beats seeing it rain when the sun is shining.
