Happy Halloween 2011

I love Halloween, and am a bit bummed that Casey’s not going to get to experience it while we live in Haikou. As a bit of fun, I decided to dress the three of us up “digitally”. Happy Halloween!

Casey’s 1st Birthday

I did all my jawing about being a dad for 365 mostly-wonderful days last post, but would be failing in my fatherly rights of overly saturating this blog with pictures of my son if I didn’t post these photos: We ended up dividing Casey’s first birthday celebrations into two. For his actual birthday we hit …

Casey Photos: Bedtimes and Toy Boxes

Here are a few recent photos of Casey I’ve been meaning to post but just never seem to find the time. The little guy is growing so fast. He’s got two teeth now and has started to show signs of wanting to walk. He doesn’t have the balance yet to attempt it himself but he …

A whole different level of baby pictures

For anyone that’s followed my blog over the last year or so, it’s no surprise when I say I love taking pictures of our little guy. I doubt there’s a parent out there that doesn’t feel the same. And while the desire to capture every minor new moment is slowly dying down; I expect there …

Chinese New Year’s Eve 2011: Hello Rabbit

Fireworks @ Jinji Hu

Last night was my sixth time welcoming in a new lunar year here in China. I always approach Chinese New Year’s Eve with a healthy dose of cynical expatations, and I’m always blown away, pun intended, with how it never fails to impress me.

True, the day(s) leading up to CNYE have every ratta-tat-tat sound sending a splash of rage through my spine for its relentless assault on holiday peace and quiet, but when the big event arrives and the entire country ignites into a cacophony of explosive sounds and visuals, it’s hard not to appreciate how truly one-of-a-kind the experience is.

My favourite photos

I think once, in my ignorance, I may have rashly stated that I would never be one of those dads that subjects anyone who’ll look to photos of their kid. As the majority of postings since Casey was born have proven, I was terribly wrong about that. But in an effort to revisit a time …

Belly Photos

Yesterday was Qīngmíng Jié (清明节) here in China, better known in English circles as “Tomb Sweeping Day”, and while I have no tombs to sweep in Suzhou, it was nice to use the holiday as an excuse to slack off for most of the day and not feel guilty about it. With the baby coming …

China, the world’s factory–a photo tour

It’s been a silent couple of weeks around the Tech Dynasty and for that I apologize. I headed off on vacation and spent two weeks desperately trying to pretend computers had never been invented. The vacation was great, but as is always the case, returning to work brings with it a mountain of things to do. While I process that, I wanted to share some photos I came across (via the most excellent All Roads Lead To China) depicting factory working conditions in China. These images certainly put my white collar–or more often than not in this summer heat, no collar–job in perspective.

Trippin on HDR

Well, I’ve been back from travelling for nearly a week now, and am only just getting organized. I plan to post a full summary of my and my friend Cory’s summer travels around China’s tourist triangle, just as soon as I get all my photos organized. To tide things over, here are a few photos …

Happy Halloween 万圣节快乐

Before anyone goes about correcting the title of this post (Chris ;-)), and starting the yearly debate on whether it should be 万圣节快乐 or 万圣节前夕快乐, can I just say: Happy Halloween!
