The Indy State Fair

Tell me... how 80's does this photo look?

Sharing and feeding the mother. =)
Watching the dog show on dad's shoulders.
The "You do NOT have candy" look.

Just a fun shot.

Who can resist a cute baby?

Even Indy has some beauty. =)

Can you tell I am dreaming of cooler weather? No more humidity please!

The world's a stage.

More costumes from Gen Con! =)

I know she has redeye in this picture... but somehow, it just seemed fitting.

And a motorcycle.

Sickness and Gen Con

So I've been a slacker because I had some kind of plague (cold) for a week. But I am back now! =) I went to Gen Con this past weekend and have some costume pictures to share... two today, more tomorrow!

These are the before and after pictures of her costume. She had wires attached that, when she pulled them, would spread her wings. If you look closely, it is mostly made of plastic... the kind they use to make glasses. With exception of the unitard and wig, she made this completely by herself. And it took (I think they said) about a year to complete.

A few of my favorite things...

My very first attempt...

At converting to infrared.

The things we leave behind.

I've found recently, that I have a fascination with abandoned buildings and sturctures. Man made things that have been forgotten, overlooked, and left behind. I wonder about their story. I wonder what happend to make people leave?

Sugar and spice and everything nice...

I loved this one because she was right in the middle of telling her

mother how it is. =)

During the free form dancing... apparently running = dancing. =)

Paintball in the rain.

A couple of the shots I took at the paintball outing that they drug me on. Of course, I was behind my camera the whole time... didn't keep me from getting hit. Did I mention it was raining?

A magical world..

The Love of My Life

Odd I know, I couldn't decide which to focus on. Too much of a good thing? Yes, I think so. My husband rocks! But the ocean won out in the end.

First post... first rambling.

Every photographer must begin somewhere... I'm starting here. My freckled face will be moving forward and looking through the viewfinder to portray my view of the world. This strange and the mystical world is full of so many curiosities to been seen and shared. Today, I capture... today I share.
