Today my favorite photos are of our community honoring a fallen hero (deputy killed in the line of duty) - there are so many photos that really capture the moment, but one in particular is of 2 fire trucks with ladders extended and a huge american flag being suspended overhead. It's a sad moment, but a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man - a true hero.

current favourite photo? I take so many and have lots that I love. My all time favourite photograph and still a current top spot holder is of my daughter and a friend running in the forest that I shot two years ago.
It was early afternoon and a clear day but because we were up on the side of a mountain there was also mist, shafts of sunlight were cascading through the trees and the Peanut and her friend were running right through a perfect circle of light on the forest floor. I took the lens cap off and shot into a golden shaft to capture it and caught the most sparkly image ever. I'm still caught off guard every time I look at it.
here's a link to a blog post I that I used the picture in http://tmcphoto-peanutbutterpie.blogspot.com/2008/10/ecology-centre.html

My current favorit photo is my 3 yeard old's hand touching the water at a fountain. The kid loves the water but what I love the most about it is that it reminds me so much of my brother, that's how it started for him, had to touch the water and then he would "fall in" to the fointain somehow. It just reminds me of so many childhood moments.

With a 4 month old daughter, it's really hard to choose... so, I will say that my favorite photo that my husband has ever taken (He's not so good w/the camera) is right after my daughter was born via c-section. The doctors are just holding her up immediately after popping her out of my stomach. It's such an amazing photo.
P.S. I'm already in Shimelle's class & LOVE it!

My new favorite photo is of my nephew Thomas sitting on Santa's lap. Thomas isn't even looking at the camera. Instead, he is staring at Santa and his hand is out, ready to tug on his beard. Too cute!

My favorite photo is of my mother (81) laughing (a good belly laugh). Only when you live with her daily like I do can you know how funny and fun loving she really is. She is such a hoot and this picture is just so good. It's one of a series a friend took of her making faces and shaking her finger cause she doesn't want her picture taken and eventually laughing as she gives in to the inevitable. It's priceless.

My fave photo currently? It's a silly one - I badly need a haircut right now, so for my Project 365 I took a close-up of me peeking out from behind my overlong hair!

My current favourite photo is one of my 3 month old daughter lying on the floor looking up. I've captured her profile, which is not a typical perspective I usually get. I love her expression, it's full of wonder.

My 6th wedding anniversary is coming up next Friday, and it's fun to be a little sentimental and look at our wedding photos and video. My favorite from that day is of my husband and I taking our wedding vows. We both burst out laughing when my husband's grandmother loudly encouraged us to have lots of children, and the photographer captured it perfectly on film!

My current fav is of the wild horses of Assateague. We were grateful to see so many on a snowy Friday and they were quite photogenic. My fav was the horse going up to the car in front of us and going nose-to-nose with their dog. I'm not sure who was more jumpy - the horse or the dog :)

My favorite photo right now would be one I took of my son while he was sitting in his favorite chair. I stood on the arms of it and he looked up at me.
I used the 50mm 1.4 lens that I'd just gotten and it's just a fav photo of mine! :)
