A new gadget . . .

CheriGENERAL

Recently I bought a gadget — this gadget converts 35mm slides and film to a digital photo…and I am llllll-ov-in it! Our printer/scanner does the same thing – but it takes a lot longer and is more complex to use.  This baby is a cinch to use. I’ve been going through slides I haven’t seen … Read More

Blue Eyes

CheriGENERAL

efore Melissa moved away to the far away land of Omaha, she asked me take some photos of her sweet little boy, Foster. It was nap time for the little guy, but he held it together for us and put up with my nonsense.  His eyes really ARE THAT blue! (just like his momma’s) He … Read More

Spent the evening catching up on all the photo editing I’m behind on . . . My laptop has been giving me grief lately, making editing a major pain.  This order is just about done…one or two more pics to go…then on to the next order — and then I’ll be done!

End of the road

1600 miles. 26+ hours in the car. Me and my backside couldn’t be happier to be home in Rochester.  It is surely flatter than when we started out 10 days ago!  My hip joints & knees continue to complain as well. Major shout-outs to my drummer boy — husband, and DRIVER!  He endured my whining about aching joints, and … Read More

First Attempt

Recently a student (that was involved in student ministries at our church when I was on staff as student ministries director) asked me to take his senior pictures.  Because I like to take pictures I agreed.  However I made sure to tell him, and his mom, that am VERY much an amateur novice beginner.  And, … Read More
