Alright - these past two weeks my focus has not been on cooking or freezing food, it has been on being better at taking pictures. My wonderful brother spent some time with me on the phone to talk about what I need to capture the perfect moments that I'm looking for with the kids. Thanks Jeff! Who knew you needed such bright lights? (Still needing to be used). But I got a bean bag chair, some bright lights, he gave me layouts of how to set up, tips of what to do and NOT to do, and I got some test prints back from a couple of companies that I tried, so far so good! I would like to move outdoors for a few shots sometime too - I love the idea of a busy city street with a perfect captured moment.
I am also taking to some websites and figuring out more top 10 do's and don'ts. I am taking on the challenge of "picture of the week" (if I can find the site that had this again!). And I am remembering my "Random People Picture" book. Yep, over 5 years ago when I was in Philadelphia I loved to people watch and capture the most random and raw moments (I posted a couple of them below... some call it creepy, I call it art! And if I could get my tush back there with a better camera (usually I was using a throw away) and more time I could do so many cool things! Maybe I'll start to fill the book again.

Ultimately, I would love to be good enough that I can spend an hour with families, capture some fun moments and get the jpg and say, enjoy :)
Anyway, I wanted to mostly give a shout out to my big brother for taking the time to help me out - I am looking forward to my Skype Lesson on photoshop! And what to look forward to - Thursday morning is Flu Shots and Deep Freezers :) This weekend: baby food - Sophia enjoyed her oatmeal tonight!
