Year In Review

Friday, December 28th, 2007

I am a news junkie. I love to read the headlines of the day and keep up on current events. At the end of each year, I love going to websites like cnn.com or cbc.ca and looking up the special reports on the year in review. I record the top headlines and [...]

I can’t stop myself!

Friday, December 28th, 2007

My family finds it immensely funny at times, at other times, downright annoying, but sometimes, I just can’t help myself, I have to get the image! “honey, grab the camera” or “oooohhhh, wait, I have to get that image” or Brian will simply just hand me a camera and say “hurry up and get [...]

Image of the Moment: December 07

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Image of the Moment:
I can’t say that I have one favorite image of all the ones I have taken. I could say instead that I have a favorite image of the moment! The more images I create, the more favorites that come up! I have been working at creating a database of [...]

Christmas Cards

Friday, December 28th, 2007

My card making adventures began because of two facts. The first is that I love to take photographs of flowers and butterflies. I am fascinated by their colour and intricate patterns. I have a ton of such pictures and my family knows that if we pass by a garden, I am a [...]

What is an heirloom to you? What is it to future generations?

Friday, December 28th, 2007

If you had to leave your house in an emergency, what is the first thing you would grab to pack? The answer is almost unanimously “my pictures”.
When I had to interview people in an assignment for school, I had to ask the question what is your most prized photograph. Everyone I spoke to [...]

In Memory of Jane

Friday, December 28th, 2007

While we lived in Massachusetts, I had the honour of volunteering with Hospice of Franklin County. Jane was my mentor there. She wanted a student photographer to volunteer with hospice to capture images for them to use in their community awareness programs.
I answered the volunteer want ad that was posted at Hallmark. [...]

New Portraits of my Children

Friday, December 28th, 2007

New Photos:
Have you ever looked at your children and wondered when they got so tall, or how did their hair get so long, or when they lost the last of their baby fat? I do this frequently and I hate that my babies are growing so fast! I frequently take their portrait just [...]

“I hate my picture being taken”

Friday, December 28th, 2007

I run into this frequently. I too hate having my picture taken. I don’t know too many people who do enjoy it. Why? The answers usually touch upon personal appearance: “because I look fat”, “I hate the way my double chin shows”, “I don’t like how my stomach sticks out”, [...]
