the park without color

When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!

I’m guessing that the park can still be fun, even without color….You be the judge.

old school style

Found my old N90 (notice there’s no D for Digital) in the closet today. Snapped a quick roll. Believe me I tried Chimpin’ and back button focusing, neither to be found in the old school world. I kinda liked it. Made me think a bit more.

There’s nothing like the natural colors. this is straight out of camera with a little bit of web sharpening.Not perfection, but just something a lil different.

Can’t resist | lil one

I couldn’t resist, even without words (you know how wordy I can be… oh yes me)
More will be posted soon.

For now, as my grandpa would say, “I speak lil but good”

I just fell in love with her eyes and I had to get these up.

peace of mind

admin — Sat, 09 May 2009 05:39:52 +0000

Things have been a lil off lately. My mind jumps around, wandering off to dark places and then quickly retreating into a realm of appreciation and gratitude. Appreciation for family, friends, love, my health, work and just the little things like a good home cooked meal, a soft bed or a minute to close my eyes and rest.

But yesterday I was upset. Mad that cancer had stricken my house. I was mad at myself for being mad. I know so many others that seem to hold the principle of “you can’t worry about things you can’t control”. I wondered if they always felt this way or did they have moments where the lil bit of anger crept into their mind and tried to attack their positive thoughts. But of course I then felt so guilty for holding onto contempt for something. What was the point of bringing myself down. And, as always, I reminded myself that these are all normal emotions and it’s ok to feel this way.

I thought about how this whole experience has helped me to appreciate the everyday details. Details like the sun, blue skies, gray skies, children playing in the water, smells of spring, just going for a walk with my husband, noticing buildings unseen while driving, talking (not IM each other while in the same room), my mom, his mom, my grandma, family, friends, a good cup of coffee… you get the point.

Now don’t ask how these pictures relate at all to my words, except for when I look at them it takes any bit of negative feelings I have away. It reminds me of how precious life is and how every day should be cherished. Plus I can’t blog without a picture.

Don’t worry, I’m not going crazy…yet. Just a hiccup in the day.

breakaway with the e’s

I know I’m so bad. I haven’t posted in way too long. Little things like life and work get in the way of sipping a good cup of homemade coffee and an early morning writing. To remain true to my hectic schedule, I will be a woman of few words today.

Here are a few shots from a quick mini session in the park with these two little cuties. They definitely helped me breakaway from the grind and gave me a much needed day of exercise.

we want more everett or at least i do…

every once a while you meet a someone whose shear smile brightens your day. all you do is look into their eyes or their pearly whites and you can’t help but reply with a huge bright grill of your own. well, today i met everett who, well for lack of a less generic phrase, made my heart melt. most babies find my camera peculiar and a lil less preferable than the bottle or their favorite toy. however, lil mr. everett broke out with this smile almost every time my camera popped up.

i so enjoyed my session today. however, as normal, i was very nervous (and i guarantee an incessant stream of verbal nonsense), and wished i could have hung out a bit more with everett. BUT, i still was very grateful for today. i can’t say thank you enough to this beautiful family, with the most amazing home with natural light, for the priceless gift of opportunity. opportunity doing something i love
