Baby Rannen

Rain
Not only does the water cause my garden to grow better
As well as filling my rain barrels
I am able to find leaves covered in droplets which are beautiful and delicate.

I was headed out to the car and paused, noticing the leaves all over the ground that were covered in dew like droplets.
The thought ran through my head, "Hey, I should get my macro lens and find that photo..." but I got in my car and continued my errand running. When I returned my room mate noted, "Did you see those leaves out there with the water? They're awesome!" So I was moved, to go and do the work involved to find the photos these leaves had to offer. Here are the "keepers" I have.
Finding an image in the world has been a continual wrestling act for me; Not a fruitless act either. (Physically I know I'd loose any wrestling act..ha) I'm continually pushed forward to wrestle by anything from friends to nature, to people I work with and for. I enjoy this struggle, hope you do to...

Babies and trampolines...

So this story begins about 6 months ago, yes, six of them back.
So Amanda has this, trampoline, she loves to bounce, you might say she is professional...
on our last trek to Iowa, we recovered her trampoline from the old chicken coop where it was sadly retired. We made this rescue and now this mass of aluminum, springs and nylon are setting in my back yard. We jump, we laugh, we lay, we jump, we laugh, we lay, she jumps, I lay....
Amanda came by on her lunch break the other day, to jump (yes she loves to jump) and I got out my camera.( yes I love to photograph) She jumped and I photographed. We both did what we love and here is what happened! Enjoy this small view into our eyes.
Also here is a preview of Amy & Dave's baby! (my sis and bro in law) Rannen Ezra Fix!
Keep a close eye out, you will see more of Rannen soon.

Pictures of my picture taker

So yesterday I picked up this old Kodak 4x5 with the hopes of learning some new techniques and to just see if I can. To me, the idea of doing some portrait or landscape work with this is an exciting prospect! So I will keep you updated and post when I get some photos developed.
