As I read blogs, I realize what a photographer I am NOT. I have never claimed to be one, but i realize how much I want to be one. I guess this means I need to get serious about 1. A new camera, 2. Learning how to use one and 3. How to really kick it up with post processing! I want better images to go with posts (especially now that I am blog slurping this into book form ,which totally legitimizes my blog as journalling- right, how can I publish my words with such mediocre photographs? I want my book to look cool after all!) I need to hire someone like Alissa (oh master of light and camera) to follow me around everyday from dawn until dusk beautifully capturing all the things in my life. As an artist I love the power of a good image. They say more than a thousand words.
So please if your interested in the job- do send your resume!
1. a new round of library books
2. actually feeling hot today
3. getting things done on my to-do list
i like your list at the bottom of each post. it is inspiring me to stop and think of what i am grateful for in this day. thank you!
ReplyDeleteIs there a photographer that can make changing a messy diaper and folding laundry look beautiful? I'd be interested in just having it look attractive! At least I'm usually the one with the camera in my hands, so I don't have to worry about how far from beautiful it's (and I mean myself) all coming out!
ReplyDeletearlynn- you haven't been looking at enough magazines lately- where th mother looking very trim and ever so casual injeans and pristine white T holds a heaping basket of fresh white linens (the only laundry in magazines are bright white sheets fo course:- that she is "preparing to fold" while her children frolick around on her bed in summer dresses
ReplyDeletei thought that's what the blog was all about. this IS your very own personal maggazine and YOU are the cover girl!
ReplyDeleteI get 3 magazines...Ensign, The Friend and Family Fun. And I don't even read those as much as I should!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm glad I don't have to worry about my kids frolicking on my bed...that would just make more work for me.
Your blog is all about you... but wouldn't a movie be cool? Or a lovely novel?
ReplyDeleteI love that picture!
aw shucks. thanks for the link! i feel like a million bucks... lol.
ReplyDeleteand i'm coming to realize that you can't possibly capture everything you want to remember with pictures... sad as that is... things like new baby smell and downy soft baby cheeks... you'll be asking blurb to put out a scratch and sniff book... tho you certainly don't want to remember the scent of that last dirty diaper, lol.
