Hi guys,

Just did a hike with a couple guys from my church this morning. This is a picture of Bald Rock, a lava formation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains about 30 miles outside Oroville, CA. The trail is called Bald Rock Dome Trail, and you would THINK it led up to the top of Bald Rock dome!  Instead, it leads to the bottom of the canyon, where you can see views such as this. We didn't go all the way to the bottom, we needed to get back home at a decent hour.



We're still looking for a trail that leads to the top.  No luck on the Internet, but maybe we'll have some looking at other resources.

At work we're evaluating a GPS unit that's "stealth", designed to not look like much of anything. They want to place these inside packing boxes to track high-value freight as it moves across the country.

My boss had the idea that we should take pictures of the unit for use in our promotional materials. Therefore, I give you... interesting photos of an uninteresting subject! At least, I think.

It's completely black with no labels anywhere. I guess you'd call it a "thing".



It's the old "buy posterboard at Wal-Mart" trick! Shhh! Nobody will know.



He also wanted some shots of the inside of the unit, with the cover taken off. I turned the batteries so it doesn't look like we're trying to advertise the batteries themselves.



Finally, I did a few macro shots, but I guarantee, he won't like them.



He hasn't seen these yet, but I can predict what he's going to say. "Why are they so close up?"



That's about all.

My wife's in the hospital for one more day, so I got some more shots there.  Got a little more artsy and spent a bit more time than just PJ in the delivery room.  I also got some shots for the mandatory baby parts collage.


The out of focus thing (probably a blanket) in the lower-left bothers me, I may clone it out later.

This one's probably been overdone but I don't care.  Those are my fingers btw.  Yes, I was shooting handheld, while holding Joy's foot in my fingers.

Finally, I just love baby wrinkles.

Thanks again for looking.

I've posted 45 pictures from Joy's birth day yesterday!

Enjoy!
