My favorite photo is one of my friend Rose who is in her 90s. The photo was the only one she had of herself as an infant with her sister, and it was cracked and pieces were missing. I restored it for her in Photoshop, (lots of layers, clone tool, healing brush and painting pixels back in with a paintbrush). It took me most of an entire day, but seeing the look on her face when I gave it back was so worth it!

What wonderful giveaways. Great classes, and a super-wonderful camera bag - I love it!!!
Lately I've been seeking out fun personalized license plates. Some are wondefully creative, and inspiring, and when I find one I realy like, I snap a quick photo of it. It's funny how someone else's personalized plates can make me think of similar things in my own life. I guess people aren't really that different after all!

My current favourite photo is a blurry fuzzy out of focus picture of my best friend and I at a little open air restaurant and bar in Krabi, Thailand after having a few drinks. The air smelled wonderful and the night was so refreshing after getting wickedly sunburned earlier that day. The picture just reminds me of all the beautiful confusion I experienced while traveling in a country where I understood none of the signs and only two words of the language.

My current favorite photo is one of my daughter sitting out on the grass for the first time. She doesn't quite know what to think of it all and is puzzled and happy all at the same time! :) Thanks for the giveaways! Love that bag!

One of my all time favs is this one (http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/member/17898-giraffemom/548951-dandelion/?c=t) of my middle son wearing a hard hat and giving me a dandelion. What you don't see is that in his other hand he's clutching his Cabbage Patch baby. I love the juxtaposition of the manly hard hat and the sweetness of a flower for mama. Thanks Ali for the chance...these are some SWEET prizes!

Currently, my favorite photo is a shot from Christmas with my 3-year-old niece sitting on my dad's lap. She's wearing her Little Miss Matched socks (pulled up to her thighs) and learning how to play her little toy guitar as she and her "moo-pa" sing together. It perfectly captures their relationship.

My husband just gave me a photo this morning that he found in a box of papers from his parent's house (they died two years ago). It was our second date in 1976, both all dressed up at Christmas time, when we were 21 yrs. old. Wow - we were so young and cute and in love!
Thanks for the giveaways Ali. The camera bag looks very nice and useful.

One of mine is the photo of my husband holding my sons hand while we were in Malaysia. They were walking away from me. I love photos of real life when I just capture the moment.
