Better in Bulk - Family photographer with a large family
Daily thoughts on living with a large family. I often share the tips I've learned as a photographer on how to get better pictures.
Some people would cringe after hearing what I’m about to say, but I’m going to stick with my opinion here: A good deal of my family’s best bonding time is spent on electronics. I used to think of technology – television, computers, mobile phones, iPads, iTouches, etc – as isolating devices. Often they are. But [...]
I got my first cell phone as a Christmas present in December 2000. At the time, I thought it was an extreme extravagance. I wondered why I would ever truly need one. The evolution of cell phone use Flash forward 11+ years. We have four cell phone lines in our home and no longer have [...]
Believe it or not, I really did take pictures with my real camera this week (quite a few of them, in fact). I believe that most of those pictures were of food, because suddenly my oldest daughter and I have become Pinterest fanatics and can’t wait to recreate some new Pinterest recipe or creation each [...]
KitKat dove in her first meet this weekend, and amazingly, I caught this photo of one of her practice dives. I was so incredibly proud. Even more amazing is the fact that a few seconds before KitKat was ready to dive in the meet, my phone fell from my lap and took a 10 foot [...]
I love technology…my house is filled with gadgets, though I admit that I am usually a little behind the times when it comes to the latest tech gear. I was slow to get my first iPod, but fell in love with it quickly and continued adding to my iPod collection. Because I have been low [...]
So far, so good. I am loving capturing a snapshot of each day with my phone, and I’m still totally excited about making it through the whole year without missing a day. Think I’ll make it? This week was not overly exciting, but this is what life is really like in my house: Saturday – [...]
It’s a new year, I just got a new Android Smartphone with a cool camera and fun photo apps, and I have been hearing a ton of buzz about Project 365. I tried completing a Project 365 a few years ago and only made it a couple months. But that was before smart phones. My [...]
I’m linking up again today with Adventuroo’s A Week in the Life series, taking a close-up look at everything I’m doing this week. My day started out early. I thought that sleepless nights with wakeful kids were something that I left behind years ago. Not so. Last night, AJ fell off my bed (yes, he [...]
We’re a little obsessed… Let me start off my saying that this is not sponsored. True story – I was looking through pictures on Instagram the other day when I saw a photo that cracked me up. The caption mentioned an app called OldBooth, so I checked out the App Store on my iPhone and [...]
I read a compelling article this past week about the drastic changes that social media has seen in the past 10 years. I was shocked to realize that there was no Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube on September 11, 2001. How different would the experience of 9/11 have been had the people in the middle of [...]
