acting on inspiration...

Looking through a photo magazine this afternoon and I came across an image that inspired me to try this. I decided to add my own touch, but I kept some of the characteristics of the original (pose, washed out appearance). 

Part of the inspiration comes from the fact that I could relate to this original image. This is where I am at. I am at the point in my life where I just need to take time to do things like this...

just me...

Not the biggest fan of pictures of just me. However, Sherri made a deal with me on Sunday (out of sympathy). She would let me take a Polaroid Chocolate Film photo of her if I would let her take an photo of me.  The deal was sealed and I took the Chocolate image of her first. Here is the photo of her. She then took this photo of me with the Fuji x100s. Because I have posted so many photos of her, I thought I would post this one too. Someday I can only hope that she would want to start taking photos for fun...

can you see me...

Pyper was squinting, so I asked her to open her eyes. I love it when she listens...

little chatterbox...

Stopped by the Tyndell's today for a short visit. Pyper walked out with me to get my phone that I left in my land rover. She is at such a neat age right now. The whole way out to the rover and back all she kept doing was looking up to me and talking. Couldn't pass up snapping a quick photo of this moment...

even when she's sick...

If it's a good one, I feel like I have to get the picture. Even when she is sick...

old glory...

Probably have overdone the flag photos now, but they are so rich and colorful that it is hard not to keep taking and posting them. I have one of Maci on my iPhone blog, I have the 8x10 Impossible color image that I took of Tyler on my instant blog and now this one that was taken with my Fuji x100s.  This particular flag is displayed on the side of a business near downtown Greenville. I know that given time, it will become a victim of the elements. Like many things, I wanted to capture the photo before it changes or disappears. It is probably obvious, but that is the reason we take many of our photos. This one has now been captured in all of it's glory...

a bit of a glow...

Spent a little time outside running around with Pyper. She stopped long enough for me to snag this photo with my X100S. Not bad for shooting in automatic mode directly into the sun. Her blonde hair has such a glow...
