Forgotten shots

I'm in a rush to process some photos for Christmas, although it is already too late (saturday before Christmas).

I came across this shot. I just love the painterly effect in the background. Taken with the 50 1.8, which I just sold. Yummy. Of course, I converted to black & white. I've decided black & white appeals to me more. :)

And, I got my Xmas present early--a Wacom Intuos tablet. Yippee!!!! I've just got to learn how to use it. How intimidating. And then I've got to learn painter, which came with. I need to quit my job now while my kids still remember me, not just someone who's back is to them.

And then a couple of pictures playing with Photoshop CS3 beta. Ooooo.....I'm in love! :) (the snow shots, in case they are out of order).

And my wishes for everyone. And some people might actually get a hard copy--eventually! (issue with envelope).

xoxoxo

Frederique challenges us to identify our favourite photos from 2006, using one word only to describe the photo. Well, that was impossible. But here are five of the more memorable (to me) photos from 2006.

And the descriptor:

Your Theme Song is Back in Black by AC/DC

"Back in black, I hit the sack, I've been too long, I'm glad to be back" Things sometimes get really crazy for you, and sometimes you have to get away from all the chaos. But each time you stage your comeback, it's even better than the last!

What's Your Theme Song?

Your Hair Should Be Blue

Wild, brilliant, and out of control. You're a risk taker with an eye to the future.

What's Your Funky Inner Hair Color?

( I have had blue hair in the past. :) (and pink...green...yellow...)

You're as American as Key Lime Tofu Pie Otherwise known as un-American! You belong in Cairo or Paris... Get out fast - before you end up in Gitmo!

How American Are You?

A boast

I see all these boasts all the time about some great photo shoot. I can't compete. I only photograph for myself. But, I do have a boast. My daughter started kindergarten in September. This week was her first report card & parents-teacher meeting. Wow. I was totally floored. The teacher could not say enough wonderful things about her....natural leader, inspires her fellow classmates, excellent communicator, wonderful initiative (took it upon herself to create an activity to teach the other kids during class), smart... I'm so proud of her.
