MY TAKE ON PHOTOGRAPHY

"The reason why we want to remember an image varies: Because we simply 'love it', or dislike it so intensely that it becomes compulsive, or because it has made us realize something about ourselves, or has brought about some slight change in us. Perhaps the reader can recall some image after seeing of which has never been quite the same."

Spring Break!

Wow, I can't believe how incredibly long it has been since I've come on here to post pictures! My art has completely taken over my life! In a good way though, I've been busier than I ever could have imagined.  I never thought in my wildest dreams that my hobby/love/passion could turn into a career. 

Anyway, on with the pictures... so I dusted the old camera off, charged up the battery and headed off with the family & headed to Washington DC during spring break.  My dad grew up there, so I grew up spending my vacation time visiting grandma, every year, twice a year... so what a treat it was to visit the old town again after all these years.  We litterally saw all of DC in 3 days, & yes that included the trip.  This was the kiddies first time there, and as I predicted, their favorite part of the whole trip... the Metro!

Look at Jason, you'll notice almost all of the pictures that I took of him were of him taking pictures of other things, & of Maddie of course.

Trick or Treat!

What a Halloween we had...lots of costumes, fun, candy, family, and yes, even some slush! This was a first, snow on the ground...but that didn't stop the kiddies from enjoying their day of trick or treating :D & can I just say how grown up everyone seems to be now?! Going from house to house like they're pros now!

Mr. Scorpion...if anyone is familiar with the video game Mortal Kombat anyway...we had to tell Jason that, you're a *ninja*, because otherwise people would think, "what your a scorpion?" lol.
