day nineteen (lisa)

day eighteen (lisa)

In light of this big weekend in DC, I decided to post two pics today. The first is part of the aftermath of yesterday's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.


And this one is from today's Marine Corps Marathon, which our friends ran and finished. This fellow is not our friend.

day seventeen (lisa)

day sixteen - fail

I forgot! I completely forgot to take a picture on day 16 and did not remember until I laid my head on the pillow at midnight. At which time I was not about to get back up and take a photo. Especially sad because we had at least 40 people in our house eating, drinking, carving pumpkins, and generally having a good time. There were plenty of photo ops...

day fifteen (lisa)

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....

day fourteen

I want one of those nice, path-in-the-fall-leaves photos, but it's just not happening...I feel like this sort of shot is all about composition and I have no idea where to begin.
