stick figure portrait

Last night I painted a teeny portrait of my nieces.  Stick figure style.
The teeny canvas is 3x3 inches.  The orange is for scale.  :)
I dig these little canvases.  I might go grab some more...

AUNTIE! TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS!!!

I played outside with my nieces the other day- when they weren't driving me nuts, unlike today...
And I snapped lots of silly photos of them. 
Mostly just to put an end to all the:
"AUNTIE! TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS!!!"
"AUNTIE! LOOK AT THIS TRICK I CAN DO! TAKE A PICTURE!!!"


I ended up with a few I really like... and the ones with Jamie on the slide crack me up for some reason...

I need to shoot some film!!!

I'm not really a digital photographer.  A few months ago, when I starting doing my Holga TTV stuff with my little Coolpix, it was the first time I created digital images that I really liked... I also really liked shooting with my Holga and seeing the pictures so quickly... But I'm really starting to miss shooting film.  In any camera.  I really gotta get my Bronica fixed, AND get a roll of film into the Holga! 

For now, here's one of Trina from a couple years ago.  It's one of my favorites of her.  AND it was shot with film!!! :)

Cassie

I used to babysit 2 little girls named Brittany and Cassie... The photography bug bit just before I started sitting for them and they quickly became my favorite little models.

A couple months ago when I went on a scanning binge, I scanned a bunch of old images of Cassie when she was just a munchkin... she's almost 21 now! Yikes! 

I think this first one might be one of the first black and white images I ever made.  I went all out with the sheets as a back drop too!  Haha... And the dress she's wearing, that was my dress.  I called it the "Twirly Dress".  It's peach and lacey and twirly and I LOVED it.  (I still have it!)  I remember wanting to wear it all the time, but funnily enough, I think there's only one picture of me in it.  Anyway, here's Cassie in it:

Here's another one of Cassie- I think this one is from my first college photo class.  I'm pretty sure the assignment was portraits.  And I think she has on my spaghetti strapped prom dress, obviously too big for her!  That baseball hat and sunglasses, also mine... I must have let her and Brittany go through my closet and go nuts...

Baby Jamie

A couple more old images I scanned recently.
This is my niece Jamie when she was just a couple weeks old...
Aww, teeny little munchkin! :)
