I am working really hard...
being very productive...
getting a lot done....
and then wham...

I goof off...hmmmm...let me try this...let me paint that...ohhh that's fun....
it's like Art Deficit Disorder...
not my fault really...
i'm just wired that way...

nts

into the streets
we're coming down


we never sleep
never get tired



so urban feels
and suburban lights



turn the crowd up now
we'll never back down



shoot at the skylight
and watching it on primetime


nts nts nts....
like I said..pure cuteness!

meet gage.

that's it.

Baby Jack.

geek accomplishment!!!  I mean Video, HDR, 3-D, here I come...there is no stopping me.....lol

August.

I'm late.  but I am going to blame it on the fact that Tad starts kindergarten this week....ahhhhhhhh!
oh my word!
 backpack. check.
 thermos. check.
 lunch box. check.
 shoes. check.
 folders.check.
 mario bros. pencils. check.
me freaking out. check. ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not really surprising this has been my meditation lately.  I didn't come up with it...
have just been thinking about it...death is weird. but then again, sometimes so is living..

<< Ecclesiastes 7 >> Wisdom 1A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. 2It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart. 3Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart. 4The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.

meet little levi.

what a doll!
Daddy, Mama, and even Grandma all lent a helping hand during the session...
it was a completely "chill" experience, as in the slang way,
a state of being surprisingly content with or in an unfamiliar place.
relaxed.
go with the flow.
not worried about the little things.
calm.

not to be confused Webster's"chill", as in,
coldness, especially a moderate but uncomfortably penetrating coldness,
tending to cause shivering.

"be cool yo!"
nik

black and white

I don't know why...but personally (that is if my husband didn't whine about it)
I would have every image on display in my home,
black & white...or in the same tone family...
there is just nothing like it...

but he does whine...sooooo
nik

This is my niece Brooke Raven...
