April - 30

May 1, 2010

Well the month is over.  I did it, I shot and posted a photo for each day in April.  It was fun, and I have quite the collection of images, posted and not posted.  I'm liking the vintage look, square crop and may continue building a set of them.  I started a Flickr account, and may start using Blogger instead, so that I can upload to Flickr and then send the photos to the blog.  I'm still playing around and figuring this whole thing out.  I'll have to think of a May project.  It is good to keep my creative/ photo part of my brain going between loads of laundry, making milk and changing diapers...I definitely do need a little something else fo me.  I did buy a roll of film today, it had dust on it (literally it did).  I still have a Pentax k1000, and it would be nice to get the kids recorded on film since they haven't been yet.  Hopefully, I can find somewhere to get it developed.

April 29, 2010

So my camera battery died and I didn't put it on the charger.  We went to Science North today and I missed so many cute photo ops of Anderson and his friend Emmy checking out all the dinos and playing in water and holding hands.  Then the evening flew by...and I never really felt like going all the way upstairs to fetch the charger out of my suitcase.  So finally at bedtime, by the light of the rock lamp, I got this shot.  You know you're safe to leave the room and she is finally asleep when those little hands open up.  Ahhh, we survived another night of peak-crying phase.  Just go with the flow.  I'm so excited, I get a little break tomorrow, (well to get a cavity filled).

For all those missed shots, forgotten cameras - check this out. The Photographs Not Taken
And this (not as related but interesting).  I came across this site awhile ago and just thought of it again. UNphotographable

I just realized this post may generate some opinions, if they are negative...here you are. Anyhoo...this post is about travelling with baby.  We almost ended up eating peanuts for dinner, because we couldn't get her to stop fussing. Yay for purple crying . (well, this ended up being a linky post).  So, by midnight we came to terms with the fact that going out for dinner was no longer an option.  We had a room service steak dinner at midnight (our second meal of the day...after breakfast at noon).  It wasn't so bad, we did graze on gelato and lattes during the day...and she was a little angel until we started thinking about dinnertime.

Maeva is 3 months old today, Anderson took this photo

 

a brief intro.


This blog is about my journey as a mom. The struggles, the joys. My quest to navigate through my new identity, while trying to retain a bit of my old identity. It will contain useful (hopefully) info, photos of my Ander and Maeva, reflections on being a mom, as well as art, creativity, things I find inspiring.
