Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Taken:  March 26, 2011

I took these late and I am posting very late.  They were incredibly uncooperative and I didn’t have the patience.  So I didn’t really bother editing or cropping properly.  There are so many funny outtakes, so this is an outtake post.  Check out Charlotte’s crazy expressions!

Sleeping in a snack bowl

Sick Charlotte

Taken: March 15, 2011

Poor Charlotte got sick and she just looked drugged.  I don’t love how this picture turned out since the white balance was off, she’s not quite in focus, the composition is too centered for my tastes and she has a light switch growing out of her head.  It captures the moment but I’m noticing my skills decreasing just a bit when it comes to candid photos—a combination of not trying and not practicing I imagine.

Life has been busy

Taken: March 5, 2011

My father was hospitalized February 20 for complications from end-stage liver disease.  Only a couple weeks later we nearly lost him.  I chose to take the kids up to the hospital to take photos with him as a ‘just in case’.  Fortunately he has recovered very well, given his diagnosis and he his home with my sister.  I’m only sharing a couple of these photos that do not identify my dad, since these are intensely personal. 

The kids were very worried about their ‘bampa’ and now you understand why I have been SO behind in blogging.
