[tvshooter]

2nded! pic's look good. family is awesome. and your tub is exactly like mine, cept newer. and cleaner.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Thanks for all the kind words everybody. This is hard to do. Most of the week is pretty much the same. Weekends is where I hope to shine.

This Morning the boys got up extra early.

I don't know whats going on in their heads they just stood there like that for a minute or so. Started to creep me out.

I was not much better.

Work was work. Had to stay late for a delivery. (I will post more about my job later.)

Late snack.

Good Night.

[roy6]

Brilliant. And you can blackmail them with this later in life.

This is hard to do. Most of the week is pretty much the same.

Never underestimate the extent to which what is ordinary and boring to you is unusual and interesting to others. Keep it up!

[beatle]

woah, epic pic of ur kids...

[robbie]

edit - roy beat me to it.

That picture of your sons is excellent.

[ranonranonarat]

those look great on you. im glad that you didn't choose to pass on this tour. everyone else who voted you to soldier on with the tour, good job! those indoor shots are really nice. im curious what are you using to shoot these pictures at such low light conditions (i assume), which gives you so little grain? i would like to think that you are shooting on a compact/rangefinder instead of a full frame. tell me im not wrong. your kids are a real bundle of joy. love the updates!

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Thanks guys. Got an update coming soon. ranonranonarat, don't know that much about the camera. My brother in law is letting me borrow it for the tour. Its the nikon D700, so full frame/full sensor. I have two lenses. A fixed 35mm f/2 and a fixed macro/60mm f2.8. I can't stress how much I love the images I am getting. But the size and weight of it is pretty tremendous. Anybody have or have an opinion on the Fujifilm x100. My wife is loving these photos and it might give me an in to pick one up. If i get a camera it will most likely be a nikon so I can borrow lenses.

Took Chancho for her morning run.

I ride a bike because I am lazy and the dog needs a longer run than I can handle right now.

The bike path.

Some things along the way.

I don't think this can can use his legs. But he is out there every morning doing the damn thing.

This is a cow playing a guitar.

Dogs.

This is Max. He is so dope. All white German Shepard.

She submits to him all the time.

[beatle]

happy pics..so good

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Some Random cars I pass every day.

There is this guy who lives for halloween. This is is house.

Playing with the macro lens.

And the fit.

Went untucked cause I didn't like what I was seeing.

Damn I need a shave and a haircut.

[ranonranonarat]

your dogs are so great. i wished there was a compact/rangefinder that can capture such great pics.i don't think the fuji that you want will allow a reproduction of such images at those conditions. In addition, the price is pretty steep. it's hard to find something small that can actually replace the goodness of a full frame. sigh.

[tvshooter]

oh this is so good dude! keep up the pic's!

[roy6]

This is a cow playing a guitar.

Wait a minute- I don't at all understand how this works.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Woke up at like 6am feeling pretty crummy.

Had some of this. Feeling better temporarily.

Did a quick EDC. Forgot to take off my watch.

Basically I'm calling in sick today.

[robbie]

this thread delivers

[zissou]

I don't know, Brian. This is ruining my tough guy image of you. I never would have pegged you as Caring Dad Who Carries Dog Poop Bags.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

HAHA. Yeah thats me. I'll still cut you or give you the chain, whatever the bad asses are doing now a days.

Come to think of it. I have always wanted to make a blackjack.

Vegetable tanned of course. Maybe fill it with change. "Its a coin purse officer." California does not allow the slappers.

^patent pending.

So I still might do something specific to the work I work on. But this is so much better than what I can show with NDA's and whatever.

I will have some proper updates coming soon. HAGWE.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Saturday Morning we had some friends over for breakfast.

My older boy helped.

We had Waffels, Fresh fruit and Mimosas.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

My pal MIke was there. We have not seen him for a while.

He helped with the kids.

Tommy (guy with the hat) brought over a rope to have me turn into a lariat. He wants a leather burner added to it. Will post something about that later.

The kids played and eventually trashed the place.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Then after breakfast we went to a park that Mike heard about.

But when we got there it looked like it was just a half jug of Carlo Rossi and a garbage can next to the restrooms.

Was supposed to be a pirate park. After a little walking around. We found it.

Such a rad park.

Then moved over to the playground.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Some other kids playing.

These boys were playing a bad ass game of war/guns.

Blonde kid is my favorite.

Cool dad wearing a MF shirt. Talk to him for a minute. Really cool guy.

There was also this aquatic center next door. With some SUPER brave kids.

Pretty sure I would not do that.

[pomata]

your updates are fantastic man

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Then we had a brief nature walk.

Saw this neat for LA bird.

Fit.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Thanks everyone. This is a lot of fun. Hard to get time to edit down, resize, upload and post, but I have some updates coming for Sunday and Monday.

[morse9443]

This mom sucks, plus on the phone of course. Who does that? More great updates though:)

Some other kids playing.

[rnrswitch]

Poor kids doomed to failure. Mom's got shitty genetics and the complete lack of attention.

[roy6]

"This leash demeans us both."

[rnrswitch]

I hope that bitch knows we are talking shit on her parenting skills on the interwebs. Maybe when she goes to bed at night and logs off her iPhone she sobs quietly for her kid.

[robbie]

I used to think I might someday be a mediocre dad, as sad as that woman is she gives me the confidence to know that at least I'll never be that shitty. 'I am gonna stand right here by the play structure. Just close enough you can touch it but can't actually use or enjoy it."
