My World Monday: Photo Shoot

Image
My son and daughter-in-law, their 4 year old, Daisy the dog, and the newest member of their family came to visit this weekend. Katie wanted some artsy photos of Oliver and she’d saved some poses she liked from Pinterest. Oliver slept pretty much through the whole ordeal.

Theme Thursday: Together

Image
Theme Thursday ’s theme this week is together. That opens a lot of territory, but I threw a dart and here’s where it landed on my photography map. Chickens and eggs. Which brings me to turkeys (poor things. . . .) Give thanks you're not one of them on this American Holiday.

My World Monday: Losing Sleep

Image
Most nights, the lights go out about 11 and I wake up when the early morning light starts peeking through cracks at the edges of shade-covered windows. Last Thursday night was an exception. Because by 11:05 on Thursday night, I was at the hospital. Waiting for this little person to be placed in his mommy's arms. Watching my first son welcome his second son and then take a well-deserved nap as Oliver and his mommy (my beautiful daughter-in-law) got better acquainted.

Curtis Photograph of Si Wa Wata Wa, Zuni tribe - from the Edward S. Curtis Collection, Library of Congress He was funded by J.P. Morgan, a wealthy industrialist, to photograph indigenous peoples before their way of life was lost forever. Photograph of Buffalo Dancers - from the Edward S. Curtis Collection, Library of Congress Now, a young photographer named Matika Wilbur, a member of the Swinomish and Tulalip tribes Hand-tinted Matika Wilbur image from her website of coastal Washington, is setting off on a 3-year venture to create images of tribal peoples from each of the 564 federally-enrolled tribes.
