The Twelve Days of Summer
Summer is passing by so fast I can't stand it. I hate to think about returning to the real world. Jen and I have been playing pretty hard. Trying to get out and enjoy the long summer days, and I've been shooting a lot. (This week, I shot my 10,000th image with my new EOS 40D. God, I love this camera!)
To help postpone the inevitable, and stretch the memory of summer, I culled the 10,000 shots down to what I hope is a tolerable few. The slideshow emma.swf (14 meg, 3:32) should play in any browser.
The slideshow was created using Imagematics Stillmotion Pro.
The audio is "For Emma" by Bon Iver off of the album For Emma, Forever Ago. (Kudos to Gretchen for turning me on to the song.)
Note: I was working in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin in the summer/fall of 2010. For some reason, I always think that this song was recorded one winter in a cabin up in Door County (the Thumb). In fact, it was recorded in Dunn County in 2006.

In the fourth? pic, she looks exactly like you. Very nice.

I was thinking the same. Jen looks a lot like you. Amazing how quick she's growing up just since I started reading your blog. I like the one where she's facing away standing in the water. Great stuff.

Thanks. In that photo, she's actually fishing, but it's hard to tell, which I like. It looks like she's standing in a lake in her jeans pondering life, which makes the photo better, IMHO. :)
