Friday Foto Fun 8

Run To Me
Originally uploaded by philputnam.

After all the attention for my second daughter this week, I thought I'd post another gratuitous kids shot. This is my other daughter running toward me last week at the park. I'll need to take a new one of my son now, so he won't feel left out.

By the way, you can click on the picture to see a larger version, something I highly recommend to get the full impact.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for your prayers.

Today...

...seems like it might be the day. Serious contractions began about 1am, and have strengthened through the night. The midwives are here, and now we wait. Keep watching this space for updates.

I'm also very pleased to announce that Theep Doughts has negotiated exclusive rights to publish the first photographs of the new Putnam baby. We were approached by Vanity Fair magazine, who wanted to bring in Annie Leibovitz to capture the first public photo, but in my opinion, the old media is dying. The blogs will rise. The traffic generated by this exlusive photo could possibly crash our servers, so just keep reloading. You'll eventually get through.

The waiting is the hardest part...

I've been holding off on today's Friday Foto, because it seems I might have a fresh new subject to photograph...Keep watching this space for news.

I guess this is becoming more of a photo blog. I've had several other thoughts about many things this week, so I might post some non-photo items sometime soon. We'll see.

I took some photos this week for my brother, James. This is one of his guitars.

We're very close to a special announcement. Keep watching this space in the days to come! Have a great weekend.

A holiday shortened week is already coming to a close. I hope yours was a good one. This weeks Friday Foto is from the archive. I took this one at the Qutb Complex in Delhi, India last November. Be sure to look at my India Set to see other photos from this location.

Keep an eye on Theep Doughts, as sometime in the next 2 weeks, the Friday Foto will be a special edition/addition.

History Check on Aisle 4

Well, they got it half right.

OK Go - Here It Goes Again

In Ecclesiastes 1:9, King Solomon the Wise wrote, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."

Obviously, he never imagined this video would be created.
