Doing "the daily"

As I mentioned in a previous post,

I am seriously working on seeing life as a photo op.

It has really made me stop and think about all the many moments that pass in a day.

(And how many of those photo ops I miss!)

My two cameras (Nikon D700 and iPhone) follow me everywhere.

Well, almost everywhere, for the D700, that is.

So, how did I Embrace the Camera and see myself as part of a photo op this week?

 Well, Caleb finally got a new "bigger boy" bike since he had outgrown his previous one.

Consequently, it would take a little practice getting used to the new size.

What happened?

He took a spill in the driveway, scraping up his knee and elbow pretty badly.

And Madeline's reaction?

She cried.

So I comforted her.

Now for this shot, if you can believe it, Caleb handheld my D700.

That's a pretty heavy camera for a 7 year old.

A little bit later, the princess begged asked me to paint her piggies.

At the same time Caleb wanted me to watch him play basketball in the front yard.

So what better place to paint piggies than in the back of a minivan parked in the garage?

Right?  Doesn't everyone?

Actually we spend a lot of time this way, sitting in the back of my minivan.

When she's tired of playing and wants to watch her brother instead,

this is where we hang.

Yep. We sure do, usually with an ice cold Gatorade or Vitamin Water in hand.

And now if you think taking photos of Mommy and Madeline together

has gone to Caleb's head, well, it has!

He's now asking when he's going to get his own DSLR!!!

Uh oh!!! lol
