A Transitional Bump

This evening I fired up the macosaur and dug through every inch of both hard drives to find the best of the best of my collection to share with you.  As I tried desperately to find my favorite "Spider Girl Kiss" I realized my library is so large that I started to archive some years on disc only.  I looked everywhere in my work zone but alas, the paltry results were not what I had hoped. 

Cheer up folks, tonight I share an image I took on the way to see my sister.  I was bummed the foliage was past its prime.  Inspiration struck though and I had an idea for a shot I will share some time next year.  I'll need to find a super duper sticky note to remember this one.

When in doubt, enter it anyway

I was recently informed of a local photo contest for a 2013 VT calendar.  Maybe I really should read the BFP more often.  This is the final week of this free contest.  Which pretty much means if all of my friends, real and virtual, vote, I still have no chance of winning, lol. I will be entering some of my best pics, a few each day for the next week.  I'll have to fire up my macosaur to find the best of the best over the last 10 years, but I promise to share the links with you so you can vote to show your support.

Burlington Family

I love going for walks on Church Street in Burlington.  I love taking that stroll with my daughter.  Yesterday made the best jaunt yet with my daughter assisting me on a photo session.  I showed her how to lighten up shadows without a flash, how to engage a resistant teenager, and the difference between 2.8 and 18 f-stops. She has a pretty good head start on her photography class next semester.  A big thanks to CJ and her kids for calling us to come out to join you on one of your family walks!

Light Up Your Night

Walking through the aisles of newly shelved holiday decorations I start dreaming of white lights, snowflakes, and holiday carols.  Now is the time to stock up on some sparkle for your wedding.  Basic white lights and simple candles can be crafted into a glorious display customized for your occasion. Twine, tulle and even tissues could be your new best friend.  Don't feel like crafting more fireworks than those in the bedroom?  Ask your DJ or tent rental company if they rent lighting equipment.
