I remember when I was a kid coming across art work that my mom had done and was really impressed with her work. As I got older I did my own thing, but as I moved out of high school and in to young adult hood I started giving up my artistic pastime. I’m made some strides to get back into it, but it’s more through photography and design then actual sit down and draw something art. I still from time to time draw (according to my wife and kids) fantastic sketches on Sydney’s Barbie magna doodle.

But more recently, we’ve been sending our boys to a local artist for classes. They both love to draw, and have been doing stuff for years and my wife thought it would be good for them to actually learn proper techniques and how to do things and whatnot.

On my drive home last night, the atmosphere was rather scummy. Call it what you will, smog, crud, inversion, whatever you want it was setting in pretty good by about 6pm. It occurred to me that it would probably be pretty foggy this morning.

So while we were having a birthday party for Syndey, I asked my dad if he wanted to go out and do some shooting in the morning. I told I thought it might be foggy and so it might be fun to get some foggy shots. He agreed and so we decided to go early, like at 7am.

Of course I stayed up real late catching up on stock piled TV shows and didn’t end up getting into bed till about 2:30am. Yes it hurts and I’m tired, so I’ll probably get a nap in sooner or latter.
