Memorial vs. Hale All City

Memorial vs. Hale in our first All City pre-season game!  Memorial won 3-0.  
So here's the question, I went to Hale, but Calven plays for Memorial, guess who I rooted for?  OK all my Hale alumni friends, who would you root for?!?!?

First Day of School...10 Years Ago!


This picture was taken on the first day of school 10 years ago this week.  Now Corben is Junior at OU, Kari's first day at OU is today, and Calven in a Junior at Memorial.

I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
Time stand still
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time Stands still
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away

Cool and Refreshing

Just looking at this picture will help combat the oppressive 104º weather.

Kari and Christopher Again

Giant Spider

This spider would barely fit in the palm of your hand.  Huge and colorful and a little scary.

Great Vacation in Colorado

Sqirrrrrrrrrlllllll

Colorado Columbine




Beautiful mountain flowers.

Top of the Mountain


I'm going to do four days in a row of my blog.  All will be pictures from my recent family vacation to Estes Park, Colorado.  This is a beautiful view of a mountain (after a 4.5 mile hike straight up).

Mountain Man Corben


From our recent trip to Colorado.

March 28, 3 months ago...

I took this picture from my front porch on March 28, 2010.  Amazing how much diversity Oklahoma weather can have in just 90 days.

Corben and Kristina

 
It's funny, the picture does not represent the mood of the night at all.  Corben and Kristina were helping me take pictures at a football game and at a point went up in the stands to rest, everyone was having a good time.  I was far away with a big zoom and got this picture.  Both look so forlorn that naturally I had to pile on by making the picture black and white.

Hey 5A, here come the Chargers!

The Memorial Chargers have moved from 6A (with Union, Jenks and Broken Arrow) to 5A where they belong!  This should be a great season.  I can't wait!

It's easy if you have a good model...

Congratulations Kari!  I'm proud of you!!!

Hum Along if you Know the Words

OK, now think of the song that played when you saw Mickey wearing this hat during Fantasia.  There you go...you humming it yet?!?!?  That ought to be just about enough to keep it that song stuck in your head for the rest of the day.  You can thank me the next time you see me.

Gray in Color

Took this picture of my office building on a very gray cloudy day.  I did no PhotoShopping on the photo.

Henry the Dog!

Jeff on the Set


Jeff is currently in the process of making his third movie. This one is called "Teaching Faith". This was a good candid shot of Jeff on the set. The sun caught things just right.

Celeste's Iris

Pretty Kari


Kari's prom was yesterday and I got to take pictures! Kari was beautiful and Christopher was very handsome. I am posting several pictures at http://bradrosenthal.com .







Yes Mr. Birch, everything looks very clean.

Chris and the Fountain


This is Chris Eaton, Kari's boyfriend. This is a nice picture of him from at the F&M Bank Fountain from last years (2009) prom. Kari's prom (Memorial High School) is just a few days away and I'm anxious to get several great pictures of Kari and Chris again this year. There are a couple of other good shots from the 2009 prom at "Jealous of the Statue" and "Goofy Kari and Christopher" . Check back next week for new prom pictures.

Springtime at Woodward Park

Epcot at Night


http://bradrosenthal.com This is from Celeste's and my vacation to Disneyworld back in November of 2008. We were exiting Epcot after the fireworks show and the lights changed on the Epcot giant ball. I love how it goes from orange to blue then to the dark black sky.

Can't wait for the new season!


Calven has been getting letters from the Kansas Jayhawks, Stanford and other smaller schools. It's all very exciting! Summer Pride starts the week after school let's out. Calven is scheduled to attend camps in Norman and at the University of Kansas. http://bradrosenthal.com .

Corben and Kari



A good picture of Corben and Kari in the lobby of the Mid-Continent building.

Decided to start blogging again...



It's been almost a year since I've updated my blog and I've missed it. Just an update for those who are wondering, I'm no longer with StoneHenge having left in November. I'm looking for a position currently, and that includes working at developing my own company, Failsafe Hazmat Compliance.
Visit http://bradrosenthal.com for pictures of the kids, Henry, prom season and football. I am also working on several new short movies that will be coming soon.

Are you ready for some football?!?!?


Here's one of Calven Rosenthal from Friday nights scrimmage.

Tulsa Skyline Icon


This is the roof of the building I work in, the Mid Continent Tower. The building is beautiful. Here are some other pictures from, around or about the my office; water fountain, lobby, office view.

Jealous of the Statue


This wasn't a posed picture and because of that I like it even more. Kari Rosenthal was sitting next to the statue and made a face. Christopher Eaton was just looking in here direction and I clicked. Fun picture! Click here to see a similar picture of Kristina DaVee from last year's prom.

I love my new lens!


I'm not sure who this guy is, but he's one of the receivers for the Tulsa Memorial Chargers. I was at Summer Pride practice about a month ago and got several great shots with my new camera lens! Look at the clarity of the moving ball (and person for that matter) and then the nice soft consistent blur of the background.

Louvre Snapshot


I wouldn't call this art by a long shot but it is extremely cool to show the scale and enormity of the Louvre. Celeste is not so far from me in the picture, but look over to the right, there is a man walking and you get the idea of how big things really are. By the way, the crowds are huge, they just don't walk this far over, most of them congregate at the glass pyramid which is behind me (from the perspective of how I took the picture).

Inca Ruins


Here is a picture of a long lost Inca Ruin that I discovered on one of my many expeditions to Mexico and South America. Fact is, I like how the orange building looked against the blue sky. The moon is cool too.

Rainey's 42nd Birthday

Here is a birthday video I did for Rainey for back when she was young and 40. Two years later, she's significantly older, but the video is still fun! Make sure to leave a comment for Rainey!

I want to go on record as saying that none of the photo's in this document have been retouched, enhanced or otherwise manipulated in any way.

Happy 42nd Birthday Rainey!!!!!

(If the movie won't play, click the title "Rainey's 42nd Birthday" then click play again.)

My new lens...


My new lens let me really zoom in on this little squirrel.

Goofy Kari and Christopher


My favorite picture I took today was this candid of Kari and Christopher acting silly. It turned out nice with the statue in the background.

Sundown at Epcot



Not really anything to say, just liked how it turned out.

Look!!! My duck is back!!!


This is the third year in a row this duck has built a nest in my hydrangeas. Last year only one of her eggs hatched, the year before that 3 hatched and we had to help them up the street to the creek. My very first blog post was this duck from 2 years ago.

If I don't move, they can't see me!



This is Henry the Dog hiding in the ivy. He's incognito! Or something.

Tomb of the Unknowns


It's been a while since I've blogged regularly, but I think now that the weather is nice, I'll get the camera out and start again. If you have thoughts, I'd appreciate your comments.

Here is a nice picture of the columns from the outside of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Enough with the snow, ready for spring

Henry and the Puppies

We had to babysit (dogsit) John's two puppies. Henry has never really seen another dog, but he thought it was totally awesome that the puppies would chase him.

(If the movie doesn't load, click the title "Henry and the Puppies" and then the movie will play)

The Elusive Deek

About 17 years ago, Steve Carson and I were bored and decided to follow Dick Carson and Tiffany as they took a walk around LaFortune Park. Of course, they had no idea that we were doing it, which made it so much more fun. The footage sat on an old VHS tape for better than a decade, but recently I rediscovered it and edited it down in iMovie. The results are the wildlife documentary "The Elusive Deek".

(If the movie doesn't play, click the "Elusive Deek" blog title and the page will reload.)


Musée de l'Armée


The Musée de l'Armée is a museum at Les Invalides in Paris, France. While Celeste and I were touring, once again, I stood still in the same spot for some time waiting on the instant that no one would be in my picture. Even though this passage way looks deserted, there are people all around.

Winter Wonderland


Here is a picture of Cinderella's castle adorned in festive Christmas lights. (Click on the picture to really see how pretty it is!)

To Sandy: This is for you!
