Macro or Micro
So, after my plea for help about buying a macro lens, I decided it was time to take the plunge into macro land and buy myself one. We scooped up the kiddo, got in the car and headed downtown. I walked into the store all chipper, ready to hop on the counter and tell the guy to go fetch me my sparkly new lens, when I noticed something was ‘off’. My…
Can You Help a Girl Out?
Can you help a girl out? It’s time I invest in my very first real macro lens. I think Nikon calls it Micro, right? Not sure why, but I really feel that spring time is macro lens time. Getting down and dirty on muddy floors just so I can photography a few flowers. Yup, that’s the life! I love taking close-ups. Now that it’s almost summer I really want to start…
Fun with Food
When I’m bored, I take photos. My favorite subject is, of course, my son. But at almost 5-years-old he’s gotten a bit too clever for his own good.

You know, the type of photography that just doesn’t make sense no matter how long you look at it. Looking longer often makes them even worse. The photos with people in it where only part of their body shows, often without head….
Is It Spring Yet?
At first there was snow. Lots of snow, too much if you ask me. And it was cold, so cold. Now there’s rain. Lots of rain, too much if you ask me. We seem to be falling from one extreme into another. Normally I’m an autumn/winter kind of person. I really am! I like living in a world where deep shades of red and gold dominate the scenery. Or in…
