All About Alex

I finally got a chance to visit with Mandy in her new home and have a photo session with the latest addition to the family. Alex was an amazing little model, patient, even tempered and always ready to strike a pose.

Fingers, toes, books. Everything intrigued this young man.

And nearby was his ever watchful Batman to protect him.

A Day of Food

I was cooking my breakfast. I looked at a lovely plate of blanched baby kale, dresses with a light sesame and tamari dressing and topped with arrugula micro greens and thought what a lovely picture. I decided to make a photo essay of a days meals. Here is how it unfolded. You click on each photo for a enlarged view.

On to preparing a lunch of polenta with mushrooms,salad and pickle with some juice.

Dinner was brown rice with lotus root and pumpkin seeds and a sweet and sour cabbage tempe. It was my version of a dish prepared in the Kushi kitchen.

 Eat Well, Feel Good, Be Happy!

 

Who’s your Doggie?

Molly was the first to arrive, but then came Seamus.

Oh, how they have grown,

And learned the Peanut Butter Dance.

But Molly still knows she is the Queen.

Meow!

Easter Portraits

Here are some Easter photos taken with my new Nikon 85mm f1.4 lens. Still working on those portraits after finishing Photo 101 with Nicoles Classes.

Hope everyone enjoyed a happy week end.

 

Give the Boy a Nikon…

 

and he will shoot.

 

See the camera…

 

See your subject…..

 

Take your best shot.

I spent time with Max, Mandy and Marie to get started on next weeks homework assignment for Nicole’s Classes Photo 101. I’m working on portraits and I couldn’t have had a more fun group.

 

Thanks, Mandy for setting up our play date.

 

Photo 101

I’m taking an online photography class with Nicole’s Classes. Yes, I do a lot of photography but I have never been brave enough to shoot strictly in manual settings. It’s been a fun week. Three more to go.

This was taken with a fast shutter speed to freeze motion. Please note it was also taken before the storm that is dropping 2 feet of snow here. Happy shoveling all you metro Boston folks.

 

Puppy Love

It’s PTI 6th anniversary. I decided to do a Valentine card that coincided with a color challenge.

 

I used Tremendous Treats Valentine stamps and die for the card and PTI’s envelope liner as well.

 

Make it Black

 

For the February Papertrey Blog Hop the above photo is the take off point. Here is what I did with a black background.

 

I used Graphic 45 papers and Papertrey dies for this card.

 

Thanks for stopping by today. TGIF.
