Park Pics II

I wasn't able to catch many photos of Miss Lily yesterday because of the rainstorms we were dodging and she has not quite been herself the past few weeks. She's been pretty sensitive and not as smiley as normal (ie smiling only 70% of the time not 99%). I was worried no pictures would come out again today because she just wasn't feeling it when we first got to the park. But with a little patience and a twisty slide, her humor perked up.

I don't wanna play. I'll just sit by myself and examine the dirt

Get..out..of..my..tube..

maybe I'll try the slide for some fun

OK, that was fun...

I feel much better

Oh, am I not supposed to be in these pictures??


Most children have their blanky, their woobie, their cuddley, or whatever you want to call it. Our kids have an entire menagerie of stuffed animals in their cribs (yes they're safe). But they do have their favorites. Zane has his monkey and his puppy, and Lily has her bunny bear and her cow. Zane decided to infiltrate Lily's crib this afternoon and I caught him attempting to destroy her lovely bunny-bear. After I snapped these shots, bunny-bear was rescued and placed safely back in her crib.


mmmm...I'm eatin' wabbit tonight!

Have you considered professional photography as an avocation? You really capture the essence of the twins ... and what an essence!

thanks for the compliment...there are pros and cons to being a pro photographer
Pro
Lots of fun
Meet People
Hobby=Job
Tax Shelter

Cons
-Most of your work will occupy your weekends and that's family time
-I don't think I'm good enough
-Most of photography work is driven by photoshop now a days. The days when you could take quality shots and present them as your work are gone. Now a days anyone with an DSLR can snap some shots then blast the crud out of the contrast & saturation, add some vignetting, maybe a little airbrush here and there and BOOM Pro Photo. I could not compete with those people because my photoshop skills are almost nothing and I don't consider that true photography. I'm a snob, what can I say :)

LOL! Too cute on the photos.
Photoshop...maybe not the idea of a photographer as an artist, but an art in and of itself, nonetheless. It's probably the way film photographers felt about digital photography.
