A few weeks ago, my parents took the whole family and me to the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center next to Washington-Dulles International Airport in Dulles, Virginia.

This was my very first trip to the museum and it certainly will not be my last. I’ll have to go back without the family some time and just take my time looking around.

The Udvar-Hazy Center is home to The Concorde, The Enola Gay, The Space Shuttle (Enterprise) and more. I originally saw The Enterprise at Kennedy Space Center when I was about nine or ten years old. My son will be seven in July. Wow! Almost 30 years later I got to show my son the Space Shuttle. When we went to the gift shop, he picked up a toy space shuttle, which was the exact same model I owned when I was his age.

Here are a few photos from the day:

This was posted to Improve Everywhere and I just had to share this. 207 people “frozen” at Grand Central Station in New York City.

Only a week away until the deadline for submissions for the Cutest Baby Contest. We continue to get new entries every day and all the entries definitely qualify as being cute! So, if you haven’t entered yet, no more procrastinating!

I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I will have no part in the selection of the finalists. I will be turning all the photos to a group of photographer friends that I trust very much. I will not disclose names or personal details and they are aware that the photos are for the Cutest Baby Contest. They will then go through all the submissions and narrow them all down to a Top Ten List. The Top Ten List will be presented for voting starting on February 18 with the winner announced on February 29.

Dropping a hint…

Speaking of February 29, which is a day that only comes around once every four years, Neal Jacob Photography will be having a Leap Day Special. This Special will only be available on February 29 and you won’t want to miss it, so make sure that you check the blog on February 29 to find out the winner of the Cutest Baby Contest and the details about the Leap Day Special. This is something you should tell your friends about, because if you miss it, it won’t happen again until 2012!

Well, 2007 has come to an end and I am looking forward to 2008. The slideshow below is just a few of the events I shot in 2007.
