week 1 (Beth)

Eudora

last week of 2010

Still experimenting with low light....

week 6? (Beth)

OK, it's not really week 6 - I've definitely missed a few in there somewhere.... Anyway, that's Eudora blowing out the candles at her birthday party! Andy recently introduced me to the wonders of film speed (apparently he has explained this to me before... who knew?...) and I've never actually gotten a picture in such low light before. Maybe not the best shot ever of Eudora, but I thought the cupcakes looked nice.

week 4 (Beth)

The Mail Slot

week 3 (Beth)

Ailene and Eudora in the "statue holes" between our house and the Brand New Park. They like to pretend to be statues....

And, because I actually DO like color, though you can't tell it from my pictures so far....

week 2 (Beth)

Random shots from my weekend off (yay for the daddy and kids camping trip!): this is on H Street NE near my house. It's historic, yet still (STILL) recovering from riots in 1968. I felt like this shot was kind of fitting.
The fountain outside Union Station: this is the way I usually end up framing things. Kind of boring, but I'm not sure what to do differently.... I loved her expression and the contrast of the stone and the blue sky, but I'm not sure I got either....
This is a little different, but I'm not sure I like it better. Thoughts? (Also, I can't edit my photos at all until we make some room on the c: drive.... would have liked to lose some of that head room....)
This is our middle child, Eudora. She's probably the most cooperative person in the house when it comes to hamming it up for the camera. She's wearing a princess dress, carrying her Mary Poppins umbrella and making a face that is supposed to remind us all of Bert, the chimney sweep. I just kind of liked the way this picture turned out....

week 1.5 (Beth)

Flado. Yes, I complain about him.
But, I have to admit, he's a good dog after all.

week 1 (Beth)

Week 1 with a prologue: this is from Boston a couple of weeks ago - the Holocaust Memorial...

also Boston - the fence around the Public Garden...

and Boston again - a traditional gravestone design, the "death's head".

And Week 1 for real - Lincoln Park, here in good ol' DC.
