little fun :)

i got my big camera out yesterday. just to hold it and take a picture or two...
had to make sure i remembered how to use it, as it has been sorely neglected lately.
Lincoln happened to be home and he said, "it's good to see you with your camera..."
to which i replied, "what? you mean something other than my iPhone?" ;)
it's true...my iPhone has pretty much become MY camera of choice these days.
it's easy, it's light, it's available! badda-bing!!
but you really can't beat the outstanding quality of a "real" camera.
for me the real camera in my life is my SLR. i have had an old Canon 5D for a while now
and i absolutely love it!! {although, i do admit to swooning over a Nikon or two!!)
so, i snapped a few pics of the dogs--they LOVE having their photo taken...NOT!!
then, i turned to snap a few of him.

hee! he's so serious and black and white images are so perfect. not that he isn't fun, it's just serious is a better reflection and when he tries to smile...he kinda looks like he's in pain!! haha!
all in good fun here, people!! ;)

i turned this photo into a quick digi layout...

99% of the elements are from Paislee Press

as i was talking with a friend online yesterday, i realized i hadn't done anything scrap related in weeks!! yikes! i had been on such a roll, but since the move my steam has quickly dissipated.
doing a digi layout always helps get me back into the swing of things!!

so, here's the kicker!! as i was taking pictures of my guy, he took the camera from me and wanted to take some shots of me!!
"what??", i said, "do you even know how to work this??"
to which he replied, "just put it on auto and i'll be fine."
no way Jose! we shoot manual 'round here!! ;)
he did fine. but i couldn't resist being a little goofy.

and i decided to share this because this is me at my finest!! :)
i might be a little shy/quiet when you first meet me, but this is the core of who i am.

truth!

happy Wednesday!! (i had to think about that for a minute! ;))
