Born 8:16:30 PM, 15 December 2006, La Jolla, California. 8 pounds, 12.2 ounces (3,975g). 20" (51 cm). The technical gobbledygook after each shot is the equipment I used for each photo. Many photographer friends ask. 10 May 2008, Saturday
Ryan's wet footprint from running around on the grass. (Canon SD790)
09 May 2008, Friday Ryan is now a leader of men: he's learned to grab our thumb (or toe) and pull us to something he wants us to do for him. Why do it himself when he can have someone else do it for him? As a leader, he's learned that far more is accomplished by guiding others than trying to do it yourself.

Ryan working the Nikon D3. Ryan already has figured out how to open the card door, which requires lifting a cover and pushing a hidden button, as well as how to shoot and play images. Criminey! I'm going to have to get another D3 so I can shoot him playing with mine. (Casio EX-V8)
