10 on 10 :: baseball party day

this month, ten on ten happened to fall on the day of gavin’s birthday party.  i just had a hard time thinking of taking a picture every hour – so i totally hodge-podged pictures together from over the day.  i’ll do a full post on the fun baseball party we had soon…  but for now – some ten – on – ten teasers of the party.

a little bit of a fail.

at dinner tonight, gavin in his pj’s – i remembered.  oh yeah – i was going to enjoy the day through photographs…  a bit of a fail.  i grabbed the camera and took about a dozen quick pictures.  maybe friday will be a more “beautiful” day to photograph.  some days in reality are just not all that beautiful.  i think i’ll force myself to see it as beautiful tomorrow.

a day… (tomorrow)

every once in a while, i just take pictures all day and love the evenings sorting through them and picking out ones that grab me.  sometimes i take 200 and only 10 make the blog and 0 ever get printed…  but i love the experience of photographing a day.  like here, or here…  so tomorrow – i have no special agenda, no fancy outings planned…  but i am going to see what my eye photographs tomorrow.  and hope some of you join me.  just take pictures of your day, and post them – no words necessary – no fancy agenda.  just life.  this one picture below is a 16×20 print in my house right now – taken from an attitude of being relaxed and just seizing a day/moment. we’ll see if we get another wall-worthy picture tomorrow.  but i really don’t plan on it and really don’t care if i don’t.  so here’s to photographing the day tomorrow…  check back…

hayes. her baby-bump, her family, her beach…

a beachy family on a gray day.  loose teeth, soft hair on a free-spirited little girl…  


a little side note: this photo shoot was really interesting.  the skies were seriously really really gray and dark.  AND the sand was really sticky and allll over – so i never changed my lens or anything much.  i shot the whole shoot with the 50mm prime lens, nothing too fancy.  just made sure my exposure was up so the photos weren’t too dark.  but with a 50mm prime for the whole shoot though – i sure had to move around a lot…  and i was a wet sandy mess!
