Mayan children

We went to a Mayan village, and the children were willing photography models (judging from the amount of traffic going through there, I'm sure they're used to it).

 

 

Cozumel waterfront

We just returned from spending Christmas in Cozumel...here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip! I just love the contrast of light and dark in this one.

More hands

What can I say? I like taking pictures of hands. They're so full  of stories!

Testing out the new lens

I'm in love. Just got my 50 mm. The autofocus is unbelievably noisy, but I love the f/1.8.  Took a bunch of pictures of my students during our winter holidays celebration. The light and depth of field are fabulous!

Let them dance and run away...

I went to my niece's dance recital over the weekend and got to practice taking action shots without a flash. The pictures have a lot of noise in them from the high ISO, but turned out better than I expected!

 

Indira the wonderdog

My beloved dog--and one of my favorite photographic subjects--died on November 6 after battling an extremely aggressive tumor. I miss her every day, but am so glad I have so many wonderful pictures to remember her by.

Rest in peace, Indira.

 

 

Playing with Photoshop

I was looking for candle clip art to go on some invitations I was making, but didn't like anything I found. So I took some pictures of a candle, messed around in Photoshop and voila! Here's my "art."
