Alexa and Leonard

Jeremiah put the digital on manual and took these sweet photos of Alexa and Leonard last weekend.

They are sooo cute! Alexa loves being a big sister :)

Spooktacular

So we thought it would be fun to take Alexa and Leonard to the Zoo for Spooktacular this year. We took Alexa a couple years ago and it was a lot of fun. We invited her two friends, Sydney and Alyssa, to come with us. We had a little pre-party for the girls and they all got ready together, that part was alot of fun.

The actual event...not so much...it was SOOOOO crowded and im bummed that we really didnt get to enjoy it like we did last time. Fortunately, Leonard was such a good boy and even the girls were troopers and had pretty good attitudes the whole time. They got to dress up and thats all that counted! Here are some photos from their pre-party and the few we were able to take at the Zoo.

New Stuff

This passed weekend I found an awesome deal on Craig's List. A new 35mm camera. It's a Nikon F-501 35mm with a 52mm close-up lens. Got it for $75 which is an incredible steal. It's going to be a great camera for me to get some nice shots of Erin and Leonard and Alexa. One of the things we like to do, that we don't do often enough, is to go to the park and have a little photo shoot. Erin and I took Leonard the weekend before this passed, and it was a lot of fun...till leonard decided he had had enough that is. I love film cameras. There is something so beautiful about a real photograph that you have to focus and click to expose. Unlike a digital where you just point, click and move on without really thinking about what the shot looks like because you know you can edit later. Film becomes just as much about taking the photo as developing the photo. Maybe I just kick it old school like that. I'm still on the look out for a Pentax 6x9 medium format camera if anyone out there knows somebody. Or a dark room set. My mother still has mine buried in her basement somewhere I think. Oh well. Stay tuned for some genuine film photography via me. I'll post some as soon as I get the shots back.

Ciao.
