OK…so I forgot to take a pic today (feb 14th…valentines day) so I decided to work on my lighting. I made a light box (I’ll have to take a pic of my light box another time…after I build a bigger version) and put these color pencils in it. It didn’t really work out how I wanted it. The box was too small. I was too lazy to make another box tonight. So here’s my picture of the day…totally un-impressive…but that’s ok. It’s still a picture. heehee. Goodnight!
Before
I took this picture on Saturday. We took the girls, Mariana and Kailei, to an abandoned building and took their pics. So this is one of the many. I posted the before and the after for your seeing pleasure! heehee. These two girls are so silly. It took forever for Rina and I to get them to take a natural looking picture. We had to keep scolding them. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this one. It’s one of my favorites I’ve taken and edited.
I got home from work after 5pm and I couldn’t decide what my 2nd picture was going to be. I went thru my house snapping pictures of just about everything. I just wasn’t satisfied. I decided I wanted a picture of the place I am currently taking classes at to get my CDA (Child Developement Associate). Long story short…Jon didn’t want me to take our new camera to class because he worried about…who knows what…maybe that I would lose it or break it. I don’t blame him. Anyhow, because he wouldn’t let me take the camera I told him he would have to be my picture. So…here it is! He wasn’t too happy about having to take a picture thus the lack of a smile. I still think he looks pretty hot!! I love you Jonathan! BHF!
Ok…so my little sister Rina challenged me to take the project 365 challenge. Which pretty much means I need to take a picture a day and blog about it. It doesn’t have to be long or extravagant just a picture and a post. So…I’m late in the game, as is Rina, but I’m very excited about this. They say it will help not only capture moments in your life, but also help you become a better photographer. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this picture and all 300+ pictures to follow!
Ok…so I chose this specific picture because Coldstone was my Mom’s favorite ice cream shop. And her favorite flavor was coffee ice cream. Since it’s the anniversary of her passing Jon and I went (on this very cold evening in Logan) to Coldstone and bought us some yummy ice cream! He didn’t have the coffee flavor…but I sure did! It was delicious. Enjoy!
Today marks the anniversary of my Mom’s death. So I wanted to dedicate this post to her. Mom, I LOVE YOU!!
This is a picture I took of my Mom while she was undergoing treatment for her brain tumor in Maryland. The area her tumor was in caused her to have aphasia which defined is the inability to use or understand language (spoken or written). On this day she had an appointment to meet with her speech therapist to chart her progress. At the previous appointment she was given homework assignments to help with the aphasia. To anyone without aphasia they were very simple worksheets…a child could answer the questions. However, because of the aphasia she had such a hard time answering the questions. What made it worse was that she knew they were easy questions to answer. Anyhow, she had been dragging her feet since the previous appointment because it litterally hurt her head to do her homework. Well, because we had her appointment that day I demanded she do her homework. So, I sat her down on the couch and I put a little table between us (I sat across from her in a chair) and I made her do her work. She complained the entire time. As she did her work I went and got my camera to take a picture. I threatened that if she didn’t smile I was going to keep taking pictures…which she really didn’t like. So amidst her grumbles she gave me the biggest smile I had seen in months. As I remember this moment it makes me laugh because she really was angry I took the picture. She said as I was getting ready to snap the picture, “hurry up” through gritted teeth. That exact moment was priceless. This picture has become my absolute favorite picture of my mother.
