So this is how my camera rendered this carousel ride photo I took on a recent trip to the mall (click to view larger). In the thumbnail on my computer, the image looked fine and ordinary — although I was pretty excited about the fun blur and motion capture that appeared to be going [...]

Sophia has a dress-up box that Amy’s been filling up slowly but surely over the last year or so. There’s the tu-tu and the fuzzy bracelet and the kimono. And then there’s the stripey Cat-in-the-Hat hat and clown nose, both of which Sophia decided to dress me in today. [...]
