Little moments

My daughter and my husband were sitting together as she read her school sentences. I took this picture with the flash.
Next, I took another picture, this time closer, and used the flash. I like this one.
This last one is the most intimate, and really captures the soft comfort of snuggling with your Daddy. This one was taken with the flash turned off. I chose to get down lower because I was having trouble seeing her face as she often moved the papers. Without a flash, I really need to hold still, and I really needed my subjects to hold still. I held the camera in my right hand and helped hold my arm steady with my left hand. I usually hold my breath when I take a picture without a flash. I took a lot of pictures, because that's the best way to get a good one.

Ramblings from a scrapbooker

It's summer! I just love that fact! I took 2 rolls of film to get developed today! It's never ending. I heard a rumor of sorts yesterday. It was at my CM meeting. In a magazine someone had been reading a list of jobs that will be obsolete in 10 years. One of them was a film developer! Has everyone switched to Digital but me? That just makes me sad. It is true that you can now buy a digital camera that takes good quality pictures, but they are sooo expensive. I'm still not quite ready to give up mine. Creative Memories has a photo developing center, and I hear they do a great job. There are also lots of rumors flying around about the program that CM has for playing with your pictures on the computer. I think it's called Memory Manager. They are making us consultants believe that this is going to be a mind blowing difference, changing scrapbooking as we know it, and all that! But what exactly is changing is not revealed to us just yet, but soon it will be. I am one of those people who doesn't jump on the bandwagon until I'm sure it can support everyone. I'll keep you posted, although we won't be finding anything out until August.
I haven't done any scrapping since I last wrote, but I am thinking about it all the time and I can't wait to steal away and "go away" on my cruise for a little longer!
