Wolfpack Football

Managed to find several free tickets to the season opener this past weekend – it was fun to bring the kiddos.

Breezy low humidity day – just lovely.  Ribs and shrimp and chips – yum!

I gave the kids a package of temporary tattoos, and they went crazy with them!

Huge open sidewalk, great for scootering.  Can you see her beet red face?!

Friday Night Fun

It was such a pretty evening.  Light breeze (thanks to hurricane Earl) and comfortable temps.

We ended up hitting the Krispy Kreme drive-through, and heading out to hear some live music at a kid friendly venue.  Too bad none of  my pics are of the venue! 

I’m on an eye kick again…

September

Here it is, a new month.  Wowsa!

Life is chugging right along.  Kids in school, and I’m working hard to establish my new photography endeavor.

Now, if the cooler weather would just get here soon … looks like we’re in the 90’s for another week coming.  This heat is just not inspiring!!

What Sunday’s are For

Either blowing the grass OFF of the sidewalk,

or blowing the grass onto the sidewalk.

It’s all good (:

Here’s what I did

1. Curves layer to boost midtones

2. Magic Sharp

4. Slight vignette

 

Have a great weekend!!!

Monday Morning

I love school days for many reasons.  One being my children are not allowed to watch TV before school, and they’re okay with that.  What do they do? They read.  I love them to read!

Rented a fish-eye lens for my band photo shoot.  Had to play with it one more time before returning it!

Two Shoots in One Day!

 

Yup, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Completely different.

AM : Beautiful family.  Sweet and kind children.  Wonderful!

Not done editing yet, but this is one of my favorites so far.

PM: A band with five fabulous guys who ROCKED it!

(I advised them to practice in the mirror… and I think they took my advice!)
Had SO much fun getting ‘grungy’ with these guys – I love love urban areas to photograph.

Will post a slideshow of the images as soon as it’s done… but for now, here’s a fav
