    I am just posting this as a sort of infomercial.  Kim Pace just posted some great advice and is having a contest on her blog to win a copy of Bryan Peterson’s “Understanding Exposure” book.  This book is a must read for anyone who wants to improve their photography… if you are a pro or just enjoying a hobby, just about anyone can benefit from this easy to read, fun book about digital photography…

    What are you waiting for???

    Shayla,

    Thanks so much for coming out to play with me.  I hope the party was fun after too!  You are so easy to photograph, absolutely stunning.

    I have so many I want to show you but for now lets call this a sneak peak… we should get together soon so you can view them all.

    Here are a few of my favorites:

    Dozer Day 2009

    Saturday, May 16th, 2009

    Just a quick couple of snap shots  of Jeffrey at Dozer Day today.  He had a great time playing in the sand.  As a photographer I am always so critical of my photos but sometimes I need to take a step back and realize that imperfect snap shots are okay.  They help me keep my memories alive.  Vancouver hosts Dozer Day every year and this is the first year we have gone.  This year it was off 192nd and Bradey Rd right off of Hwy 14.  Traffic was crazy getting in there but we walked so not only did we get our exercise but we didn’t get stuck in traffic either.  Jeffrey drove a tractor but his favorite part was the sand box in the enormous tire.  He was so beyond tired as you can see by his pink eyes but boy oh boy he had a great time.  Two favorites from today …

    A mouth full of sand and a look like “Help me mommy, this is yucky!”
