(not so) Wordless Wednesday:Pictures from my new point of view.

I know it's wordless Wednesday and technically this isn't wordless, so I'll make it short
I'm not a photographer. I don't play one on TV or my blog for that matter, but I do play one at home. I take pictures for every event, occasion and even the occasional temper tantrum. You should try it. It's therapeutic and maybe when they are 16, you'll have leverage with a little embarrassing blackmail. Anyway, for my birthday my husband bought me a Nikon D3000, which was a nice upgrade from my Canon Power Shot, which I loved. But my Nikon is perfect. I haven't read the instruction manual yet, so I barley understand it, I know that should be first, but I tend to do things a little backwards. I've had it about 4 days and have taken about 2,000 pictures. These are my favorite pictures so far, the pictures are more clear, vibrant and capture the subject with great quality and clarity. I love it. Taking pictures is fun, easy and addicting, I hadn't realized I was taking so many pictures until my son, who'd rather shove a car in front of his face then actually smile, asked annoyingly, "Why do you always have to take pictures?", and I replied, "That's what mommy does!" Duh! 
Enjoy.

  1. Your kids are simply adorable. Love the pix. Came by because I like the name of your blog and am adding it to my list of Hot Blog Titles. I used to live in NJ and now I blog about cool stuff to do with families in London. So we have quite a lot in common!

  6. Ha! That's about how many picutures I took in the first couple days of owning my camera. Now it's a month later, I've taken 4000. So I've slowed down considerably. :)

    Learn how to use it, you'll be so thankful you did. There are some great online tutorials out there.

  16. I totally understand about doing things backwards. You're doing a lot better than I am because I've had my camera (Nikon D5000) for almost one year and I still haven't read my manual. I know I'm missing out on some cool features.

    Yes, that is what mommies do. We take pictures (lots and lots).

  21. well you could have fooled me that you're not a professional photographer! These pictures are great! I have a Nikon D5000 and I LOVE it! But to understand it, you should take a class...the manual's not that helpful.
