Naked Eye Photography by Owen Law

This is the first time I have posted a YouTube clip on my blog but I was just blown away by it and thought I would share. This is a stop animation short that was made up of many, many , MANY individual shots. I can't imagine how long this must have taken to not only shoot but to compose and put together for everyone to enjoy. It was originally posted on YouTube on January 19 and has already been viewed over a million times. Normally stop animation is done with non-human subjects - think Wallace and Gromitt but to attempt to do something like this with live subjects is just mind numbing.

4 Years Away From 18

I can't believe my oldest son just turned 14:( Well, not just, but not to long ago. It took me a week just to come to terms with the fact that he's not my baby anymore. I'm not ready for them all to grow up. I know they are and will continue to do so but just a few more years. . .please. Here are some shots of Blake enjoying some of Grandma's famous Bday cake. Slow down boy and stop being in such a hurry to grow up. What's next - driving lessons. . .YIKES!!

Dayton - Naked Eye Photography by Owen Law

Meet Dayton, the cutest 7 month old boy I know. He loves his Mommy and Daddy just about as much as all the great toys Santa left for him this year. Dayton was kind enough to show me his favorite, but that's our little secret. I had an awesome time meeting Dayton's parents and grandparents and can't wait till the next time I get to take some more pictures of such a natural child superstar - hopefully it will be a little warmer outside. See if you can tell what he is watching on TV in the first image by the reflection in his face. It was hard to tell who likes TV more - him or Dad!
