Reverting back to my art history college days :)

Day Four of Camping

Day One | Day Two | Day Three | Day Four

This was a busy day — we did a little Jeeping, went into town and saw “Brave,” then a little shopping and some beers at a local brewery. No real photography happened ;)








Day One | Day Two | Day Three | Day Four

Day Three of El Capitan – from our recent trip :)

Day One | Day Two | Day Three | Day Four

Took lots of pictures on the beach, but not so much afterward. It’s a lot of work getting kids clean, fed, put to bed when you’re camping. More work than it is at home, anyway :)

My friend gave us some hand-me-down Barbie stuff, and my kids have been in Barbie Heaven. This is what happened when I pulled out the box of stuff and left them to their own devices… I even uploaded a larger version just because (click the photo). Her room still looks this way a few hours later. I tried to help them organize and then realized it was futile. Kitty had a starring role as the cat-monster of BarbieLand.

We took the Jeep all the way up to Big Bear with the top off. My hair has never been so angry with me…

On the way home, we stopped off at Jenks Lake for a quick picture… this is a good example of why DX lenses don’t work well on FX bodies, but I didn’t crop out the lens vignette because the photo lost a little something. Somday I’ll get a 16mm fisheye instead ;) I usually turn the autocrop on, but alas, I would still have lost my edges… Fooey!

“Finding the Frame” e-Learning project

I thought I’d post about this on my blog just to get the word out a little more. I spent the first 3 or so weeks of my summer this year putting together this document which ClickinMoms has available through their site. If anyone that reads my blog is interested, the links on the photo are deactivated, but they’re relinked here: Members | Non-members (scroll to last choice). I’m really excited about this and I totally poured myself into it for quite a while, so I’m kind of proud of it. Lots of introspection and learned a thing or two about my own concept of what I feel is good photographic composition :)

All daughters of photographers — poor things! I’ve become great friends with their moms over the years :) Love these kids!!!

With Desiree, Ginette, Kristin, Kelly, and Carey. And we were swimming at Denise‘s house!
