This is another old photo I found while exploring my archive the other day. I happened to to catch my daughter in the middle of grabbing something out of a bag. No, I don’t remember what it was, but I do remember that this is her guilty look. “what daddy, I not doing anything wrong”…Girls.
I am going to do something unusual tonight. I am posting two photos because I was unable to choose. I was going through some of my archive photos and ran across these two. These are some of my earliest work and I learned so much from taking them to processing them. I find that I use some of the techniques I learned on a regular basis after agonizing over these for hours at the time. I have changed nothing since first processing them, so let me know what you think.
I am amazed at the wonder with which children see the world. I can only dream to convey my own wonder at the world through my photography.
I have never been a portrait person, but I have decided to try my hand at it. I think right now, my impromptu photo sessions are how it will have to be. I don’t know though, I have had several people ask for time. For those of you who asked…soon. However, I was able to capture several shots with my little “A” team. I would just say “A”, but she is mean/resourceful/tricky/crazy enough for the whole team. I was amazed that she actually stood still long enough for this, but some of the expressions were well worth it.
As July 4th approaches, I ran across this in my archive. I have gone through several different processing techniques over the last few years. Selective colorization was one of them and this was my very first attempt. The more I process photos, the more there techniques become blended together for me. This was July 4th several years ago. I was going to hold this one for July 4th, but I like it so much, It could not wait.
I love scavenger hunts. There is nothing like collecting clues, putting them together and finding something cool. Maybe I need to start a group near me that has them on a regular basis or maybe I just need to get serious about geocaching? So, I think my youngest is going to take after me, she is like a maniac at Easter egg hunts. The older one is not far behind.
My oldest seems to be taking after me, she had an art piece featured in an art show for her school. However, while at the show, I was able to capture this moment with my other Little Treasure.
Anyone who knows me understands how unusual it is for me to do this. I was shooting some photos of snow around the house this winter when I captured this shot of one of my little treasures.
