30 Days of me- Day 17

Day 17- A piece of Art

I have been trying to think of what piece of art to share.. and as of yet.. I haven't found anything.. I do have pictures that I took of some artwork in Washington D.C. a few years ago.. but I cannot seem to find it right now. I think the things that most people consider art, I don't.. lol.. Like those odd sculptures that you really cannot figure out what they are.. or even the paintings that are like that.. Being that I am a photographer I usually appreciate photographic art more than other media.. Although I do wish that I had some of my sister or nieces talent when it comes to drawing or painting.. I do find the ability to do those things rather amazing. I am going to leave this post pictureless for now.. but I will be searching for a few pieces of art to share and add the pictures then. :)

Here is a picture that I took of some nice architecture at Balboa park..

30 days of Me- Day 8

Day 08 - a photo that makes you angry/sad

Ok, so I had been thinking about this one for awhile.. and there are probably lots of photos floating around that make me either angry or sad, or both..However, yesterday when I was going through our things thinning stuff out I came across a very old picture.. One of me when I was with my ex. This picture garnered a lot of emotion, mostly anger.



You can see that in the picture I am holding my face, that is because my ex had just hit me and thought it was funny so he took a picture of me. Yep, you read that right. He thought it was funny to hurt me, and btw, I was big because I was pregnant at the time. So this picture definitely makes me angry... but... it also makes me happy because that is no longer my life.. It is a past so distant that I don't much think of it anymore. I have a loving wonderful husband now that makes my life complete and I am very thankful for that.


As for a picture that makes me sad...well.. Most of the pictures that make me sad are a mixture of happy and sad... and most are of my children.. I am sooo happy to have them and look at their pictures.. but at the same time, they are growing up all too quickly before my eyes.

So here are just a few of my beautiful children, in no particular order.





These two pictures were taken on Easter 2008 .. the day Alora started standing on her own.









Ok, so there are soooo many more, so at this point I will stop..lol..

Pinup Shoot 8/19/10

Yesterday was the pinup shoot, I ended up with 6 girls here, it was a lot of fun and we got some good pictures.. The whole shoot took about 7 1/2 hours. Today, I am EXHAUSTED! I feel like I am catching a cold now but I think that is because I was allergic (nasal allergies) to the hair spray. Once my allergies start, it is really easy to catch a cold. So anyways, had lots of fun, got lots of pictures, and without further ado.. here are a few of them. I took over 800 pictures.. so this is only a very small sampling..lol















And finally, all the ladies together.. :)



I am hoping to do another of these parties in the future. It was very enjoyable for everyone involved. :)

Hmmm... Pictures?

I am thinking that after I finish up with the 30 days of me.. I will do 30 days of pictures.. like a picture a day for 30 days.. I would do 365 days but I am not sure I could keep up with that.. I may be taking most of the pictures on my small camera but I still think it will be fun.. Especially since I love taking pictures.. So that is the plan, finish 30 days of Me and go on to 30 days of pictures.. :)
