\"to-print-mandk\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my big goals for the past couple of years has been to practice photography and get to a point where I could blow up at least one of my images to hang on our walls. My skills haven’t improved much, but I’m understanding my camera better and better every day. I started a “To Print” folder on my desktop for the images that might have potential. These are a few of the ones I’ve been gathering, and I thought I’d share. Due to my privacy policy, I had to cut off this photo above, but it’s the sweetest shot of M kissing K’s forehead and I love that they’re both wearing the exact same shade of orange.<\/p>\n

\"to-print-k\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s also something about this image that tugs at me — the delicate shadows of the trees and K’s crazy tiered tights from Target with her white skirt and humongo tennis shoes make me smile. I took this last week during one of our outings, and we found this delightful staircase leading down to a cobbled street.<\/p>\n

\"to-print-bird\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were on the deck of the ferry headed out to Bainbridge island when I snapped this shot of a seagull. It’s blurry and the background is completely blown out, but it reminds me of the cold winds snapping my hair every which way as I craned my neck to capture the bird in the frame. It felt, momentarily, like I was flying with it.<\/p>\n

The practicing continues. I’m reminded of this Ira Glass quote<\/a> — I’m somehow convinced that I have much better taste than my results indicate so I keep at it.<\/p>\n

********************************************<\/p>\n

Last week, when I picked up K and her friend A after school, I overheard this conversation:<\/p>\n

K: Hey A, when do you think you’ll start dating?<\/p>\n

A: Hmm. When I’m ninety-nine.<\/p>\n

K: Oh, that’s a good age.<\/p>\n

********************************************<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends! I’m off to spend mine sewing up a storm. Lots and lots of projects in the works!<\/p>\n

Next week will differ<\/em>
\nfrom regular programming<\/em>
\nonly a little*<\/em><\/p>\n
