last night, the fog was super thick. it made for some interesting and dreamy shots and i can’t wait to work through them for my friend hayes. i’ll put up a little series soon…
today was a big day for my little “hobby business”. i feel like it really went out there today. so of course we stayed inside in our pajamas until noon.
it got me thinking about why i take pictures. i swap between these three pictures as my desktop picture.
none are very recent and i didn’t know why i thought they were better backdrops than anything else.
maybe as wordless reminders.
…in many areas.
from my first SLR johan bought me at christmas (because i BEGGED), then to getting used “fancy” “new” equipment off craigslist, to taking pictures in the park for friends and being giddy over them together… to now. i’m doing a mom-photography workshop (well actually four). yup… it’s happening. crazy really. but exciting! next thing i’ll have an iPhone, what is this girl coming to?! so here we go, i’m off on a new adventure to share the love i have of taking pictures of my little one. i’m no annie leibovitz, but we all dream. and i tend to dream. i have a lot of goals of how to be a better photographer, to grow, to see things relationally that happen and we glance over quickly in life. i want to take pictures of things we feel. i’ll never stop taking pictures and i’ll always work on improving. thanks for your encouraging words on this blog and for visiting.

oh good what? that i stayed in my pajamas (or as gavin would say “gagamas” until noon? for a few years now, i’ve been doing a “ten on ten” each month. someday in the future, i look forward to compiling the years of these – a little glimpse into a day every month. if you are a blogger – participate, join in! it is a unique challenge to see and photograph little moments of beauty throughout a normal day.

jumping on beds, playing in the yard… lollipops on the couch.
sand between toes and little boys who throw off their shirts to run in the waves (and show off their muscles).
these are the photo shoots and photographs i love.

i haven’t been doing very well at keeping up with my self challenge on types of black and whites… my sister reminded me of some pictures i took of my niece at her ballet class. it was a kinda dingy room with horrible lighting – not what i was hoping for to take lovely ballet pictures… they were grainy and i fell in love with the contrast in soft ballerinas and harsh grainy photographs. so they are counting for my third entry of black and white challenge. i’ve got three photo shoots this week, so maybe i’ll see what i can work in there for different types of black and whites.
for now – #4: grainy goodness…
