BEAUTIFUL BABIES

My two favorite ladies... Faith and Ella. Being a photographer, I'm lucky to have the most beautiful photos of my nieces. The only down side is being behind the camera leaves little photos out there with my nieces and I sharing time together.

My favorite part of the work week is going over to my mothers house for lunch and spending time with Faith and Ella (Grandma watches the two). Just last week Ella was suppose to be napping when I arrived but she was fusing in the nursery. I went to check on her and she seemed to be having a nightmare. It just tugs at my heart to hear her fuss like that. I talked softly to her and picked her up in my arms. So my lunch hour turned into a snuggle hour. My moment of the week...

Auntie Jayme and Ella Bell

This makes me think of the times Faith and I snuggled together (she's not one to cuddle so when she does it's very special). Here is our only snuggle on film...


They grow up so quick...

Faith Minette 3rys and 5.5yrs

Ella Bell Birth and 2yrs

I love you two SO much!!!

MOON LIGHT

I love looking at the sky!

Tonight I was on a mission to photograph the moon. As you might already know the moon was full and low to the horizon. Giving the illusion that it appears bigger and closer when in fact neither are true. A horizon moon is the same distance and size as the moon hung high in the sky.

"Experts" say catching the illusion on film doesn't work... something about being an illusion. I threw all that advise to the wind and went out to shoot the moon anyhow. Come to find out there is some truth to "their" advise. This is what I got:

A moon not appearing any larger in the frame...

... but in Jeb's hand, it tells a different story.

LOOKING FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHICS

So if you know Jeb and I well, we’re very simplistic people. We keep a clutter free home. Neither one of us has a collection that takes over the house… but I have found my collection! I have a small stash of National Geographic magazines (most of which were passed down to me).


I enjoy them and have a few key issues that are just too neat to get rid of. My enjoyment comes from the history each issue holds. Just to pick something up that was published in 1964… doesn’t seem too long ago but the ads are fabulous. You realize how quick life changes when an ad for color TV is the latest new technology.

(Jeb and Jayme in 30 years)

Today when I was at my parent’s house for lunch, I noticed a new issue of NG sitting on the table… YES! I got so excited (I’m a nerd). Anyhow my Dad subscribed to a year subscription of NG. All of which will head my direction (Jeb loves it ;)

It all comes down to this… I’ve decided to get serious about my collection and want to try and at least complete the years that I do have. I’m asking for help and hope someone out their has some or knows someone who wants to get rid of their NG’s to a good home. I’ll even pay for them.

Thank you,
Jayme
