Lights...Camera...ACTION!

May 6, 2015

This week in camera school our challenge was to show stop action and motion.  My stop action with Ernie and the hose was a success!  We tagged Ernie to once again be our helper with motion.  Not so easy!  This was the best we got today...


Cards Dinner

In September of 1996 I started a card club with 4 dear friends...Maggie, Patty, Phyllis, and Susie.  We had played Crazy Rummy for years when visiting Phyllis' summer home on Keuka Lake in the beautiful Fingerlakes region of New York State.  Smoky, Phyllis' son and Maggie's husband, had passed away and I saw card club was a way of keeping us all connected.  We met once a month, varying whose home we meet at.  The hostess provides food and drinks, we play 2 games, and we pay $5.  Then twice a year we have dinner at a nice restaurant that we might not have been able to go to with our young families and limited budgets!  Our first was Brumby's in Henrietta, NY.  Our most recent was Richardson's Canal House.  Over the nearly 19 years we have been playing, we have sadly lost 2 friends, gained 3 more, and card club goes on.  My choices tonight were:


LAKE EFFECT CHEDDAR PIEROGI   brown butter and onions  10


NY STRIP STEAK   fennel crusted onion, rapini and garlic herb butter 35


Card club...one of my favorite things...

I love taking action water shots.  Henry and I played water table today...he decided Ernie needed a bath so I made sure I got a picture of it!

I do love to take pictures of the young prince!  I asked him, "Henry...do you like chocolate or vanilla ice cream better?" to which he replied, "Yes..."




I found the darling heart bokeh app for my iphone called BokehPic...so cute!  And it was FREE!  That almost never happens.

Beginning again...

I'm taking a photography class from the awesome Courtney Slazinik of Click it up a Notch.  Since I'm taking lots and lots of practice pictures, I'm going to attempt a Project 365.  I didn't make it very far the last time, but I do love looking back and those pictures. I can even tell that my white balance was off on many of them.  Progress!

My buddy, Buddy.

Fwimming...

It's been so long since I posted!  Today Henry and I went "fwimming" at Uncle Adam's house.  I took a bunch of pictures with my new camera, one of which is a pool shot that I adore!  My smiley little guy having a blast.  It's the first picture I've taken that looks, to me, like a professional job.  So adorable!



 I also took a solemn shot of him that I changed to black and white.  I love the picture...I even love that it's black and white.  Just not sure I like kid pictures in black and white.  What do you think?  One thing I noticed is that his features are so much more well defined.  I never really noticed the shape of his lips until I was posting this picture.  Black and white or full color- he's a cutie!
