photographer

My middle little has a habit of finding a camera and taking photographs. 
Perhaps this is the reason I keep having to replace my camera.

Recently, I was downloading photos -- as all mommies do -- whenever they have a free moment.  I started to browse through the photos and delete the unkeepables because nobody ever needs to see that photo EVER, when I noticed a bunch of photos that I did not recognize or remember snapping.  Photographs of a book, the floor, Peek-a-Shoe the fun toy, the painting on the wall, a scene that stood still from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" on tv,  my daughter's grin, another daughter's ear, another daughter's mole, a rock... 

Instantly I knew who had the camera!

And I laughed.  My dear hubby and I decided a couple of months ago that we would save most of middle little's personal photographs and make her a photo book someday... so her keepsake would remind her of her love for photography!   Perhaps she will be a photographer!

As I was finishing up the quick edit, my eyes caught a glimpse of this photo (see below) and I could not believe that my THREE year old captured this photo, on her own, no photoshop here -- just her real life photo:

Stars on the Water

If you could be anywhere in the world, right now, where would you be?

I would definitely be with my family.

I would be some place with history.

I would have my camera in one hand.

And an espresso in the other hand.

I would be wearing sneakers.

I would be covering some ground.

I would be inhaling the air of happiness.

Fascinated with lamp posts... a simple pleasure.

A reminder... to look all around you... for there is beauty.

recaps of the last six weeks

10.  The "Lasts"
 
Documenting 2010 with the "last" photo taken of only two sisters.  The "last" time that there are only TWO girls.  Victoria and Petra together. 

From this day forward, there will be three sisters. 

Coneheads, Fisheyes, Wideangles, OH MY!

Avon* was adopted from the humane society. One black ear, solid black tail, white body, pink ears, pink nose, very rat-like.




EARS?








Spunky* was also adopted. Two, for playmates. She is a quirky cat.

And what about her EARS?







In our very free time, we have this funny, odd habit of taking photographs with the cone lens. We can give everyone, and our cats, CONEHEADS.

We have also experimented with the FISHEYE lens.

I have started a therapy fund for our baby. She is going to need it. I wanted this photo to be our annual Christmas Card, but we didn't want to solicit any unwarranted sympathy (from those friends and family we only 'see' by mail).
