Well lets just get artsy why don't we?

These are the same photos, just cropped differently. It is also the same photo as posted below. I just liked the way they looked. :)

You know I have to have a grungy one...

Sunday Afternoon Jam Session!

These boys are loving their new guitars. :)

At work, we call them "incentive" awards

I think I got one from Valarie. She probably gave it to me in order to "incentivise" (is that a word?) me to blog more. She's always doing stuff like that.

She thinks I'm special. I think she's pretty special too.

Ok...I tried to copy and paste my award here and it didn't work. I must not be THAT special. Geesh. How do I do it Valarie? I hate technicalities don't you? :)

Valarie wanted colored grunge...colored grunge she gets

Before and After

Here is a before and after picture of Jessie. I was just playing around in photoshop and wanted to show how the difference. You decide. Which do you like best?

Before/SOOC (straight out of camera)

After/Photoshopped

Of course neither one of them show up well on blogger. Couldn't begin to tell you why. I THINK it is the mode to which I saved them in photoshop. But that is getting WAAAAYYYY to technical for me. I like to have fun. I don't like to get technical. :) If anyone wants to explain it to me, feel free. Just don't get technical.

Thanks, Lisa

A couple of grungy ones...

Not everything I promised, but at least its something......

Captain Valarie is on the look out for land! Do you think she was a lit-tle too close the edge?!??! We were about 100 feet above the flooded river.

Actually, she was scouting out the next place for Kyle to stand in order for me to take his picture. I really believe she wanted him to get to the other side.....the hard way.

You gotta watch Captain Valarie.

A Senior Picture Taking Trip

Yesterday, Kyle, Valarie, and myself took a little trip to the big town. We needed some senior pics of Kyle. I think we have some pretty good ones. Along the way, I snuck and took a few pictures of Valarie as well. :)



Here she is:






Here she is again, but different.


Yet again, but different still.





Uh oh. It looks like Kyle has to go really, really bad.





Valarie isn't going to look though.



More tomorrow....the computer is acting up and won't load any images. I'm tired and I'm going to bed.

Here's what is in store for you....Round baler and Robin, Robin's boyz, a tree growing through a brick wall, and Captain Valarie searching for land.

Oh...and it may be a couple of days for all of this to be posted. We have to get our taxes done and I haven't begun to get everything together.

Lots of love, Lisa

BTW, it looks like I'm going to bed at 7:41 p.m. That isn't right. Its really 10:41 p.m. Gotta get that time stamp fixed.

A sampler of pictures....

Some of these are on the blog here in other places, but I have been asked to show some of my work and I thought this might be the best way to do it. You can click on them to make them larger. Here ya go...

I found a great place to take pics....

Yeehaw! There is lots of great rusty tin and old wood and concrete! Wooohooo! Can you tell I'm excited? You can't see alot of the background in this, but I thought I would share anyway. I also took some pics of a total stranger. :) His turned out really well! I don't have a model release from him though. So I had better not post his yet.
