This is a picture I'm proud of. I love the aperture effect. I had just recieved a new lens and was anxious to play around. I love that it captured so much of my son's personality.


Taken February 2009 with my Canon Rebel XTi with the EF 55mm lens

A Memory

This is in response to the gallery prompt on Sticky Fingers. The prompt is A Memory. I didn't know what I was going to do until today. Thinking of memories I have of a loved one who passed away Sunday. It seemed suitable to post pictures of a memory we share, our family reunions. We have had many reunions, as far back as I can remember. It just happens the last one we had was a super fun Geocache that this dear uncle set up for us. Such a close family, and this year another reunion is planned for November, but before we meet for Thanksgiving we will all be gathering Wednesday morning to say good bye to this amazing man.

This is my aunt(his wife) my uncle, a cousin and my dad singing - another tradition at the reunions

My uncle talking with his big brother(my dad)

These were take 2 years ago after his first stem cell replacement and chemo

The pictures aren't very high quality, it was dark, so a high ISO was needed.

Playtime!!!

How my kids define playtime!

I should explain a little, the above link sends you to a blog with a fun little photo challenge. This week was "playtime". Go check it out, it's fun to see all the different interpretations
