christmas 2007

it seemed rushed, but the time we spent with family this christmas was great. hope everyone had a nice holiday ... now get ready for 2008!

poy

made a pictures of the year slideshow (also known as the tim hussin photos of the year slideshow) for monroenews.com. our designer is on vacation, so i had to make the graphic too. one of the better ones i've done - i'm pretty horrible at fonts/graphics. thanks to alex cohn for showing me simpleviewer ... kewl.

snow

i was as cold as he was with my bare hands holding the camera. the wind was awful, hence the hood. his name is rock and he was my first photo during a day filled with feature hunting for weather photos as monroe county dug out from a snow storm. it could have been much worse ... the forecast predicted 6-10 inches, but i think we only got 5 or so ... hard to tell with all the drifting. i'm warm now, back at the office editing for tomorrows paper. i think i like the picture of rock. as i edit i keep going back to it ... it's not perfect i realize, i wish he had ice and snow all over his hood, but still something about it keeps drawing me back to it.

mommy is queen

it's no secret. mommy is #1. dad is fun and cool and all, but mommy is the fav. dad rough-houses, plays chase, cars and tickle torture, but mommy is #1 - enjoy it while you can lynne, 'cause your reign will come to an end. just as soon as i teach him to write his name in the snow - or - teach him how to "hock a loogie." then i will be king. i will be #1. but for now you rule and i know it and that's fine...for now. happy birthday baby, love jackson and daddy.

my addiction

i'm coming clean ... i have an addiction ... to abstract/cropped photos. why oh why do i love it so? i do not know. it just is. please someone help me, cure me from the high i get composing and cropping in the frame ... its so much fun, i can't stop - i need another fix ...
