We went to the movies yesterday for Father’s Day (Star Trek: Into Darkness, at Sweetie’s request. Yes, it was a fun movie.) Outside the theater is the interactive fountain, and though there weren’t very many kids there at the time, I caught this little boy having some fun.

Sweetie surprised me by heading into the fountain himself, and somehow he managed to hang out the center without getting too wet.

At the dinner the other night I slapped on my 85mm and opened the aperture setting as far as it could go. The hangar is lit by ambient sunlight from the hangar doors and high hanging tungsten lights within, and while I was looking to compensate for that, I mostly wanted to blur as much of the very busy background as possible.

There is a lot of story swapping that goes on at an event like this.

Other times, you’re just taking it all in.

Or taking a breather . . .

You all chat away. I’ve got my cookie.

I gave these two black and whites a little different treatment. I also switched my ISO and stopped down my aperture a bit, as it was getting later and I was losing the light coming in from the hangar door.
