This ain't your father's grand piano, that's for sure.  I love the iridescent glow of the surface and the knobs on this keyboard - the newest member of the Zipperle household - created partially because of the long exposure.

Life in books

I found a great new way to display photos today at a friend's house.  Very cute!

Bubble bubble, toil & trouble

Tonight we have the first of what will undoubtedly be a series of bubble pictures.  They are remarkably hard to photograph while dodging hordes of hungry mosquitoes.  I did like this one, however, which captured some deep colors.  A prime lens is a wonderful thing.

Midnight sun

Tonight I took a long exposure out at the lake.  I love how the dirt on my lens created lens flare from the moon.  Now I will go clean my lens!

Arrrrr matey!

We had a great time at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival today.  There are a few weekends left, and you should go!  This weekend was Pirate Weekend, so there were plenty of fearsome pirates running around, including the beautiful yet fierce wenches below.

Get away

Do you ever have those days where you just want to chuck it all and run away to an island somewhere for some R&R?  Today was one of those days for me, when I just wanted a change of scenery and an escape from my mundane chores around the house.
