September 2009

Micah loves Chinese food so I made one for these to
put in his lunch with a note. Unfortunately, the lunch
ladies fit the mold so after lunch it was tossed in the trash.

LillyBean is my source for felt food inspiration…
Although I don’t splurge for wool felt, regular felt from
Michael’s for twenty cents a sheet works just fine for me.

With my camera swinging from a strap on my wrist
at all times my kids must think it’s an extension of my body.
Although I’ve been known to swoon over those fancy shamancy
cameras with the big flashes and long lenses I know at this point
durability is more of the priority. So… over the last few weeks I
have been day dreaming over all the digital possibilities.
Tonight I was able to get the kids in bed and asleep in record
time so I thought I’d play around a bit.

Here’s my CS2 take on the lomo look.

And here’s my high contrast photo…

And here’s a look at how I worked out the distracting
background and added a vignette. I also played with it in gray scale.
