Ode to Soldiers

On Saturday, we visited a local cemetery with our Brownie troop to place flags on the gravestones of soldiers. It was a tiny little area in a relatively obscure part of the state (ie, not near a base). But upon looking across the plots after we finished, the sheer number of flags representing those who have dedicated their lives to fight for our freedoms was sobering. I can only imagine the heart-wrenching perspective a visit to Riverside National would bring. We will definitely be doing that as a family in the future. GOD BLESS AMERICA

P.S. I LOVE YOU

What a busy few weeks it has been. Here is just one of the many things I have been up to: E's preschool graduation.

So I've done realtor portraits for business cards and such. And I've recently done some community photography for realtor marketing. But a few days ago I had my largest realty-related assignment: capturing a home for use in an online virtual tour. It was actually pretty interesting (and very different than capturing humans!) I was happy to have learned how to shoot in full manual mode since I can see a world of problems if one was to rely on an automatic exposure system when trying to shoot interiors. I learned alot and am grateful for the opportunity to expand my repertoire...

Sometimes I wonder why I share my life's happenings on this silly blog. I found this website whilst perusing the blogs of other photogs and thought it quite inspiring.

THE [small is beautiful] MANIFESTO:
We believe stories are valuable, no matter how many people read them.
We believe following your passion is more important than watching your site meter.
We believe in the handmade, the first try, the small start, and the good effort.
We believe that small is beautiful...

SO here's to Studio 138, the little blog and the tiny business. ;)

Of Fear & Fudgsicles...

She saw a beetle... and it was black... and big...

Fudgsicles were probably one of my top 3 summer treats when I was a kid. How 'bout you?
