photography – Page 3 – making unbreakable

we went to the library today.

We don’t go to the library enough. I also haven’t been using my camera enough. Learn how your camera works, then use it all the time. Go to the library, read books with your babies. It puts sunshine in your soul.

cats in babyland.

Our cats joined us six months after Vivi joined us, which means they came into a home where there was no real risk of being attacked by a baby unless being shrieked at could be considered an attack. We never intended to rescue two cats, but when I went in to visit the one eyedContinue reading “cats in babyland.”

the one about vomit making me happy.

I told all of my friends to remind me of a certain incident that took place in the frozen food aisle of the grocery store back in September of 2010 if I ever started talking about wanting to get pregnant again. A few have already reminded me. I have a sort of fuzzy recollection ofContinue reading “the one about vomit making me happy.”

all this babble blurbed.

I did it. Four days. Two hundred pages. Six hundred and twenty seven photos. One big, beautiful book. It was worth every darn penny ($128 + S&H) to finally get this done. It’s amazing. I added in bits, pieces and quotes from my blog over the last year. We’ve all looked at it a dozenContinue reading “all this babble blurbed.”

the epic one about buying cameras and lenses.

I think the one email/message/question I get the most that I don’t already have a post dedicated to is “WHAT KIND OF CAMERA SHOULD I GET!?” I’ve never written it because I’m still not entirely sure I know what I’m talking about and I’m certainly not the best photographer in the world, I just reallyContinue reading “the epic one about buying cameras and lenses.”

magical little addie.

There are very few words to describe Addie as she is more of an experience. Like stepping outside on a surprisingly windy day with a handful of balloons, they twist and turn trying to take off in the wind and eventually bop you on top of the head repeatedly. As she’s gotten bigger it’s harderContinue reading “magical little addie.”

wherein I try to help you with shutter speed

So this post I did last month about what I’ve learned so far about taking photos almost every day this year was pretty popular (by the way, I fixed the little glitch that didn’t let you pin an actual photo.) “MOAR! MOAR PHOTO POSTS!” you cried. (Well, some of you cried, and I want toContinue reading “wherein I try to help you with shutter speed”

a smashing success.

So Vivi doesn’t really like cake. Or balloons. But she ate enough Mexican food at lunch to convince me that she is in fact my daughter. She had a wonderfully simple birthday. Her friends sang her Happy Birthday, something Addie has always hated. Vivi seemed pretty thrilled with the whole idea. Thank you for allContinue reading “a smashing success.”

what I’ve learned (so far) from taking photos (almost) every single day this year.

Hey there, nice camera. What is that? A 60? A 600? What size card have you got in there? Have you figured out backlighting yet? Oh, you’re still shooting on the green square? That’s cool, I call the green square the Cody setting. He knows if he wants to use my camera and I’m notContinue reading “what I’ve learned (so far) from taking photos (almost) every single day this year.”
