I just love the warm light in the late afternoon. Don't you just want to pull up a chair and soak this in?

How cute is this little family? My friend Holly has some super cute babies! Went outside for the first time with Sloane since she can now sit up - and even though it was extremely overcast, it was hard for her to open her eyes. I'm still super happy with how these came out. Processed with a combo of Lightroom presets (VSCO and Totally Rad) and was feeling a little "fade" with these. I know it's a bit of a fad right now, but I do like how it softens everything.

Can I tell you how happy I am that it's the weekend? I am SO happy! It was a mess of a week - running a project in Montreal from Chicago that has four different suppliers involved is just a hot mess. I can now put that behind me and move on to a relaxing weekend! Wheew!
On another note ... I donated a photo that I had printed on canvas to a school auction and, for the first time, had to write an artist statement. Um... yeah. This is not an easy task for me because I am not much of a self-promoter. I find flaws in myself and my work way too easy. Honestly, I would make a terrible 'artist.' Continually talking about myself and my art would bore me to death. I give huge props to people who have that unabashed confidence about their work.
I reached out to a couple of people to pen a little something for me and ended up with the image/statement above. (you might have to click to view bigger) What do you think?

I've been wanting to get a snap of one of these babies for a while now. I love how they glisten in the late afternoon sun.
Annnnnd...I bought a new iPhone camera app today called VSCO cam. I've been seeing beta testers posting photos for a while and it finally came out today. $.99 it's a steal. Love the processing effects and social integration. I think I'm gonna love this app! And might even have to get their LR4 film...
I mean look how cool this bridge shot looks in black and white with a touch of grain... I completely love it!

So I have never googled any of my images to see if they are floating about on the internet till tonight. I had an online news source ask if they could use my image of the NCAA trophy and had granted them permission - they gave me a credit and all was good. I had forgotten the name so I went looking for that image on google. To my surprise I found it all over the web!! Like four pages of google entries and one even has it as the cover image of their facebook profile ... Isn't that nice. Bunch of thieves ... sadly I don't think there's a thing I can do about it.
I am thinking it's best I just don't google any more of my photos ... may not like what I find.

Ahh Easter weekend. I drove down to Indiana for the weekend to hang with the Pittman crew. Three Easter egg hunts in a single day - now that's fun. I met up with the gang just in time for the second hunt at the Country Club. The kids got lots of candy and scooped it up at record speed. Impressive really!
Then it was over to Friendship Park for the egg drop - yes, 20,000 eggs dropped from a helicopter in the middle of the park for the kids to snap up. Now this was interesting. They did indeed drop eggs from a helicopter, but it took a very long time and it was just a few eggs at a time. The helicopter came back by four times to drop all of the eggs. And the heigh from which they were dropped meant the contents often spilled out or turned to mush. But, hey, it's all in good fun, right?
Then it was back to the homstead for a few minutes of rest and a little Sloane photo session. Don't you just love those blue eyes??
