Le Chien

I can't help it. He's just so darn cute. He also does not complain about being photographed endlessly.

Change

My brother emptied out his jar of change and cashed it out. This is what $60 in quarters looks like.

Clouds

Recently visited the park near my house. It's pretty there and has a nice big field behind the playground. That's where I saw these clouds.

Light Write II

My new camera does not have a long time exposure, which means I don't have a lot of time to be elaborate with my light writing. Basically I waited until dark, turned on my camera and forced the flash off. I went crazy with a little flashlight as soon as I tripped the shutter, just to see what would happen.

Highway Hypnosis

a trance-like state induced by the monotony of the highway

Got Him!

Petey knocked the stuffing out of his toy. lol.

Infinity is Happening

Can't wait for leaves to come back on the trees. My favorite part of spring is when it suddenly turns green overnight.

Norman Rockwell's Girl at Mirror

I checked out a book about Norman Rockwell on a whim and it was actually very interesting. He used to take photos of his subjects then paint and draw his famous images referencing the photos. I decided to take a stab at being the Girl at my Mirror and it was hard! I had to get into position in time, make sure it was focused, the light was adequate, make sure my expression was right, make sure my hair looked ok... and then run back and do it again!

• Rockwell's original

• A recreation

And finally, my attempt...

I had a hard time deciding which of two of my best shots to post. One was better with the light, my hair and less clutter but I decided to go with the one where my expression better matched the original Girl. I figured that was the point.

And in case I forgot what image I was trying to copy, a picture of me in the mirror, looking at the picture I want to star in. Whew!
