Back on track...contest & assignment!

Here's my shot of the day. I know it's been sporadic, but my redeeming thought is that I do think about getting the post done. I want to get the post put up. It's just difficult with three crazies running around and keeping up with their schedules...so, please cut me some slack! :)

The first shot is a typical shot for me...something nearby :)



The next shot was part of my amazing finds from heading to the thrift store.



So, now here's your assignment. Take a picture of something that epitomizes a part of who you are. For me, the shot of the jar exemplifies the fact that I am totally out for a good deal (that's part one), but also that I keep a tight lid on certain aspects of who I am. Not that I don't want to share different parts of myself, I guess there is a sense of nervous vulnerability that I struggle to allow everyone to see. There are definitely those who do, but I guess they are few. So, that's part two. Now it's your turn. And I want you to ADD IT TO THE DANG FLICKR GROUP! Come on people. This could be fun! :) Click here to go to the Flickr group. Refer to earlier posts to see how to become a member and to post images! Come on people. Do we need to have another contest! I don't know what to give away, but I promise I'll send you a surprise in the mail for the very first person to post! I'll email you and get your address. Post a comment so I know you've joined! And you have to actually do the assigment!

And this is just for fun...for all my BYU roomies out there :)

Sneak Peek...Little Mr. G.

What a fabulous weekend I had. Not only was my 28th birthday on Saturday, but I got to do my very favorite things that day. I spent time with my family, I ended the day with a fabulous party, but I also got a chance to have a really fun shoot with an adorable little 6 month old, G!

Let's just say, he made my "job" easy. I can't even really call it work when I have that much fun. He liked my camera a lot...this might be a bit of an understatement seeing as he not only smiled almost every time I whipped the camera out, but he also insisted on being really close to it. He's just barely starting to crawl and let's just say, my camera seemed to have been just the motivation he needed to practice crawling a bit more that day. What a stud!

Anyway, I had a fabulous time with his parents as well. They were patient with my serious directionally-impaired behavior and my newly discovered dyslexia (well, I might as well have it. I am constantly inversing numbers on streets). Either way, I ended up not being in front of their house at 10am, but in front of a street where their home could not have existed. But I got there, G. got a bit longer nap which I'm sure served him well, and we got some gorgeous images. So, here are just a few. Enjoy!
