Papa Jack is proud and so am I. I remember my dad teaching me all about photography and even going into his "Dark Room" in the shed and watching his very cool pictures develop in the funny smelling solution. I remember brides coming over for their bridal portraits and fun family pictures with a timer on the camera and Dad running to get into the picture. I remember Dad trying to teach me about shutter speed, lighting, f-stop etc. I can also remember having to be very careful with the film and to try to not waste any precious film on silly pictures or ones not taken with precision. I think digital is so much better! (never did I think I would say that.) I love being able to take as many pictures as I want and then just erase what I don't want...very cool. (even though I have to admit I was about the last person on earth to convert to digital. I just thought my 35mm film camera took better pics. I think was just stubborn!) I really do love pictures and I love the memories I can almost feel when I look back at the photographs that have captured some of my favorite memories. So, I am very happy that my girls are continuing the tradition of picture taking and passing me and Papa Jack by with their talent and skill...keep it up girls.
While I have always taken lots of pictures, I have never been very good at putting them into albums. So, I just finished putting a years worth of my blog into a book on Blurb... It should be delivered soon. I am so excited...I"ll let you know how it turns out. (Pictures and a little bit of journaling in a bound book is much better than pictures in a box in the basement and journaling twice a year!)
