Family moments revisited




Every time I look at this photo I smile. It's my nephews children about two years ago when we all were in Fort Lauderdale. It was just one of those playful moments that might have been missed or later in years forgotten if I hadn't caught it with the click of my camera. It's moments like these that make me appreciate family, life and the talent that I've been blessed with. Sometimes I take it for granted, well, not granted, but it's just a part of who I am. Other people look at my photos and seem in awe. Maybe that's the way I feel when I look at the work of other photographers who I'm a fan of.
The other two photos, well, same image, different processing, are of my nephew and his wife, Laurie. They have a third child now that I haven't seen and he's nearing a year old this fall! They sure grow up fast. I'm trying to organize my images and create a family library of books, but it takes a lot of time. Plus, I play too much on the computer when I sit down. Ha!
I posted these because I talked to my sister on the phone last night. Haven't seen her since this visit and I'm going to try and get her started back on the computer so we can stay in contact more.

South Beach in black and white


I just added this photograph to my etsy shop. I shot it in November 2007 while in Fort Lauderdale, at the end of Sunset? along the Florida coastline. It's a beautiful area and I loved the fact that while you are in this huge metro area, along the beach and waterfront region, you don't feel like you are going to get mugged. Families were enjoying their vacations, Floridians were pursuing the outdoor physical fitness opportunities, from yoga on the beach in the morning to running in the late evening hours, and weddings and baptisms were taking place. Diversity in its finest. This is a limited edition of 50 in this size, 10x10 print, the image has a border as you see and will fit in the 10x10 frame. There are 48 left. The actual print is awesome. I added a film grain texture, very slight to enhance the image. While I am definitely a digital fan, film is where it all began and being able to duplicate that with digital is fun. I hope you enjoy this image!
ummmm and why doesn't ANYONE ever post comments on blogs?! LOL HINT!
