25 Photographic Truths

This is probably only funny to fellow photographers, but I’ll post it anyway, because it makes me laugh. This is from an out-of-print poster by photographer Ted Orland, who worked with Ansel Adams. The text accompanies an image of a not-amused Ansel Adams taking a grade school class portrait (hey, even the greats have to earn a living some way). Orland promises to come out with a new poster soon, with updates regarding the digital world, and I hope he does, because I’ve searched high and low for a copy of the original and can’t find one.

With friends like these…

Lunched with my lovely ARC pals, Bootsie and Muffy, which aren’t their real names, but in an effort to maintain some anonymity for them it’s what I decided to call them here in Blogland. You can determine for yourself which one is Bootsie and which one is Muffy, and let me know what you think. It doesn’t matter, really. You could even name them whatever you want for all I care.

Wow

Here are some images I made on Memorial Day, when we went to visit Grandpa and Judy. A lovely day, relaxing, with Dad manning the grill (just one of his many, many talents), topped off by gigantic slices of fresh watermelon. Ahhh, summer is finally here!

The WaterBug

Today was Zoe’s first day swimming, and she got along swimmingly. Aunt Katie handed her to Daddy in the pool, while Mommy took pictures, and from the minute she hit the water she was happy as a clam. Mike took her for a few laps around the pool, dipping her in and out, before finally placing her in the turtle float that Grammy had very wisely purchased for her. She loved it.

Every Kohl’s in the Midwest in one day!

Today was spent running hither and yon, which makes me so glad that this is a three-day weekend and we’ll have some downtime after all. This morning started off with a Sears repairman out to look at the pedistal drawer under our washer – third repairman in a couple of months. Bottom line: our new drawer was ordered today. Then Zoe had her bath, and it was off to Target, then the pediatrician. Zoe weighs 18 lbs, 2 oz, and is 27 inches long. Oh yeah, and the circumference of her head is 17 inches, just in case you were wondering. I know I’ve been on pins and needles for days, wondering what it is now. She’s healthy as can be (thank God!) and Dr. F was impressed that she exhibited no signs of stranger-anxiety, which is usually in full swing by this time.

Heeeere kitty kitty kitty

I got nuthin’ right now. Really. I went to lunch with my soon-to-be-a-Coloradoan friend (is that a word? It is now!), and I’m just totally bummed that we didn’t do more lunches before now.

The New Black

Halleluja, praise the Lord! Amy remembered to bring her Camera Store gift certificates to work today so she can get some frikkin’ ink and print over the weekend!

Alas, no Rock-o-Plane tonight.

Well, the weather held out for our parish picnic tonight, which was great, but unfortunately M’s horrible allergies sidelined him for the Rock-o-Plane. He just didn’t feel up to it. Our nephew Joey had a blast, though, riding just about everything but the Rock-o-Plane. Your time will come, young Jedi.
