I just realized that I didn’t post my picture here yesterday!  What a slacker :)

Today I have two pictures.  I can’t decide which one I want to officially use for the project, so I thought I would leave it up to you!  Leave a comment here or on facebook and let me know which one I should use.

#1 “Driving by”

#2 “Tall weeds”

Mentoring contest

February 23, 2010

As most of you know, I’m a busy mom of 3 kids.  My husband is working full time (thankfully!) and finishing his bachelor’s degree.  When he is home he’s doing homework, so we don’t “see” much of him!  I’ve been doing photography for a few years now with a little help from friends here and there.  And I LOVE it!  Everytime I get behind the camera I get excited about what I’m creating.  I love to download the pictures to the computer and see something new just jump out at me.  Mostly I’ve tried to learn and do things on my own.  As you can tell it’s been a slow process, as I haven’t had much time of my own.  My learning time is a few minutes here, and there.  Maybe an hour or two after the kids are in bed.  You may have noticed that I do shoot and post everyday.  This has been probably the only consistent thing I’ve done, and it has helped me a lot.

So why am I writing about this?  Well Brooke Snow is giving away a weekend mentoring session.  What an awesome opportunity!  This is just what I need!  Something to help motivate me, build confidence, and answer questions that I have.  It will help me with my photography to watch someone who has done this a lot more than I have!  I know that I would come away from this a better person and photographer.  So “For the love of photography” go on over to her blog and vote for me to win this mentoring session.  And help me out even more by sharing this with your friends and asking them to vote.

Thanks!

Oh and what is a post without a picture?!  This is an out-take from yesterday.

The boys were being crazy after Jonathan got home from school.  They were chasing around, and doing all sorts of silly things.  They eventually “crashed” and too a “nap” on the floor.  It was just long enough for me to grab a shot of them.  I’m glad they play pretty well together.

Oh how I love those eyes! They are always happy to see me!
