Caroline Eats Mud
Today Caroline ate mud. On purpose. And I think she kind of liked it, which is a little too bad because the other day she put me in a position where I had to choose between catching her and preventing her from taking a nasty spill or not catching her and not preventing her from taking a nasty spill. Choosing to catch her necessitated putting my other baby, my Nikon, at risk. I chose, obviously, to catch Caroline. My Nikon, thankfully, survived the incident. My most useful, versatile lens, my 18-200 mm, on the other hand, did not.
Darn it, though, even with my non-autofocus, 50 mm she still looks good. Even with the mud all over her face.

Photo Genius
Why did we give our daughter a camera? Well, she wanted one, it was her birthday... and somewhere, deep down in depths of my soul where reason can never out debate hope, I wondered if maybe our artistic little girl would have some sort of natural affinity for photography. A gift. No, I don't have one, but I can't draw either, and Madeleine can.
Let's see the little artist at work, shall we?
Here are some photos Madeleine will be adding to her portfolio that she took within the first month of owning her camera.
A bit rough, perhaps, just just brimming with natural talent, don't you agree?
With a little time and patience, Madeleine masters the art of the self-portrait.
Growing more confident, Madeleine decides to compose the perfect photo shoot. She thinks of all the things professional photographers think of, I'm sure, like using just the right chair for your subject.
If you're not yet convinced of my childrens' genius, let's see what Hank can come up with. Here Madeleine shares the her tools of the trade with her brother, resulting in another stunning photo essay.
Please, I know it will be hard, but please remember these are the works of artists and, as such, if you want to copy or reproduce these, the photographers should be compensated. In lieu of cash, please sent photographer tips ASAP to madeleine@ihaveacamerandidontknowhowtouseit.com

Terri Fischer Photography
For those of you who haven't seen me showing off the pictures my dear friend and old college roommate, Terri, took of my kids, let me show off now. Here is a post she has on her photography blog showing of the Christmas card she did for us.
If you live in the Milwaukee area check out her business' website. And, even if you don't live in the Milwaukee area check out her prices page (a selection after you choose her "info" link) because you might just see a familiar face there.

The Other Side of the Ocean
This is such a great blog.
Its author is currently in Italy and when she has a camera in her hand amazing things happen. I almost feel as if I'm traveling alongside her. Earlier this week she took me to Poland.
I hope Ms. Camic doesn't mind me promoting her blog here, but I just enjoy it so much that I thought others might as well.
