I've come to the conclusion that a picture really does say a thousand words. I watched such a good documentary 6 months or so ago, on 4 photographers, speaking about their own work, how it evolved, what it meant to them. If I find the reference for the docu, I'll insert it here. But I've been musing this morning on how much I love blog posts with photos, from other people's homes, outings, kids, fashions - whatever it pleases them to post, I'm interested.
So, I thought I'd go on a photojournalism stint for a bit, and just capture some of what's going on around me.
There is a bit of a problem with putting this new idea into practice, though. I only use my phone camera. Point, shoot, plug in USB, finished. I don't crop, chop, slice or dice. Or even focus... I used to love the old Ricoh camera, back in the days when cameras used film. I didn't know the name of the things I was manipulating, but I knew how to set it up to take the pictures I wanted. When things went digital, I got left behind. Of course, I can see the wonderful innovation that digital photography is - I could barely afford to develop and print my photos in the old days. And there was that time when I thought there was a roll of film in the camera, but there wasn't...
SO - I guess I'll have to get photography lessons from my kids, and then get on with it. TBC on that.

Even though these are taken with your phone camera, I must say they are lovely. May you find the time you want to take more! : )
Well I love the pics, and seeing others' photos, but I admit that other than books, the output of a few meals, and possibly a light switch, I don't think I show anything of our messy little home, and that's the way it's going to stay.
But I am heartened by your crumbs. And I don't have toddlers! (So what does that say?)
;)
Really do love the pics. Your kids are beautiful.
