Little Feets

I hate my feet but I love the feet of little kids. Plump, smooth, and happy-looking. Not always pretty (are feet ever pretty?) but they sure are cute. I find myself shooting feet a lot. Here are a few pair - can you tell to whom they belong?











Wishing it was summer and my feet could be free again.

Buying Time...

I wrote this entry ages ago (December 12) and was having trouble with the video. I think I've got it this time, though!

OLD:
I have been so excited about taking pictures (when I do) and keep asking everyone I know who has more experience than I do for advice. Two photographers told me to start taking RAW photos instead of JPEGS or TIFFS so I could do more with them in photoshop. Cool! So, I started. But I don't have photoshop yet and it turns out there isn't much you can do with RAW files without the software. I can look at them but no one else can - I can't share them. So, stuck in my computer, waiting for Santa, are beautiful pictures of Mela, Nate, and Conor, of Marina, and even more of my wee girls. So tonight I am experimenting with blogger. Mela posted some movies (adorable Mr. Conor grooving to Robert Marley is by far my favorite) on her blog Wood Times so I thought I would share an old movie clip of Moo. Nine months and walking. 

TODAY:
Still working on photoshop. Wishing I was as talented with the camera and processing as Suz's (amazing) friend Sheye

Back for good...I hope

Man, oh man I've been having trouble blogging. I don't get to it every night but lately every time I try to post I learn something new about what I cannot do...or don't yet know how to do. I am learning...slowly.

Things in my neck of the woods have been a-ok. It is strange going through winter after two years without it. I was so excited for snow but now I am over it and I am just cold and confused. We've had a strange winter. In one week it was as cold as -2 (-19C) and as warm as 60 (15.5C)...during the day! Happily, I've managed to avoid getting a cold. Four years and running. Summer and life in the tropics are on my mind, so I thought I'd post a couple pictures of Moo, just out of the pool, slightly sunkissed, and a cute belly shot of Doodle.

Once I figure out how the heck to use photoshop (thank you, Santa!), I will get more timely pictures up.
