Pictures then and nowPosted by Alli on June 26, 2009
I have been pouring through the early years of our flickr photostream looking for something specific- pictures from Fuller’s first July 4th at Lake Martin. I am shocked to discover they were never uploaded to flickr! We have them on our network, but not on the photostream. As we pack up to leave for our [...]
I heart Faces :: Let’s Hear it for the BoysPosted by Alli on June 23, 2009
This week’s I ♥ Faces challenge is “Let’s Hear it for the Boys” in honor of Father’s Day. In the kids category I submit this humdinger of a boy’s face. It’s from our trip to Texas this past spring. Fuller was having such a blast at Lucy Park, it was hard to wipe the smile [...]
I Heart Faces Photo Challenge – Sepia TonePosted by Alli on June 16, 2009
I have been checking out various photoblogs and have seen the I ♥ Faces entries pop up every Monday and Tuesday. So, I figured I had some cute pictures of kid faces (they have a kids category and an adult category) and would give it a go. This week the theme is sepia tone, so [...]
Borrowed GlassPosted by Alli on June 2, 2009
I keep reading more and more blogs mentioning their fun with digital photography. Tis the season, right? End of school year parties, summer outings, graduations, family vacations… it makes sense to me. People want to capture the memories and if the weather cooperates, you get some amazing pictures. Me, I’m a proud member of the [...]
Teaching an old dogPosted by Alli on May 20, 2009
Today I had an excellent lunch with a friend and during our conversation I jinxed myself said I think things have evened out around here. I’m able to make it through the day an accomplish more than feeding the baby. In fact, I am able to do more than just survive the day, which does [...]
Fun with photographyPosted by Alli on May 18, 2009
I’ve been having a lot of fun behind the camera lately. The trip to Texas really activated my shutterbug gene and it was on that trip I decided I really wanted a white balance lens cap. Since it arrived, I have really felt like my pictures have reached a new level. On Mother’s Day I [...]
Before and AfterPosted by Alli on May 2, 2009
Yesterday we took a trip to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Preserve. I had an exciting time taking way too many pictures. I uploaded over 300 pictures and narrowed it down to about 150. I’ve been deleting pictures and editing those I want to keep with Picnik. One of the features on picnik is a frame [...]
Start with APosted by Alli on April 30, 2009
I’ve decided to start a photo project to be completed while I am here in Wichita Falls, Texas. I’m scouring downtown (the area where my parents live) for interesting letters of the alphabet. I’ve done this type of project before, in my own neighborhood. I thought it would be fun to look beyond the action [...]
Wedding Weekend Away!Posted by Alli on April 9, 2009
A few weeks ago I took a trip to visit my sister, Austina. She is getting married this weekend and I was present at one of her showers. It was a treat to hang out with her for a while and have a small break away from the mom with two kids lifestyle. I only [...]
Win a chance to learn at Digital Days!Posted by Alli on March 28, 2009
Last June I was celebrating my brand new appendage- the Nikon D40. It was something I had been coveting for quite some time. And since it was a gift, it was even more special. I remember sitting around, thumbing through the manual and just wishing I could have a magic digital photography Genie pop up [...]
