Smirk

Week 38 - iheartfaces - Smirk photo challenge

My 2nd child, Lars, smirks, winks, and flirts frequently. This one is one of his most handsome smirks, (if you ask me). I am a little biased.

Photojournalism - Downtown Philly

Week 35 - iheartfaces - Photojournalism Photo Challenge

Downtown Philly

Entertaining street dancers cause pedestrians to pause, smile, and have a general 'good time'. The dancers add to the excitement in the air on this July 4th, 2010, while people gather, eventually watching fireworks together in the city of brotherly love.

Got To Wear Shades

Week 33 - iheartfaces - Got To Wear Shades - photo challenge

My boys were lighting these 'snakes' with a magnafying glass. The girls found their shades and watched. We thought it was so cute that they thought of shading their eyes from the 'fireworks'. The grandparents were in town visiting Ohio from Utah.

Fix-It Friday #64

My "After" - Fix-It Friday #64 - iheartfaces - photo editing fun
Here is my "After". I love my Creative Memories Memory Manager 3.0 program. I clicked "Auto Contrast", then "Auto Color", then "Sharpen", then I warmed it up by 5 little notches, and matched a color (to white). That's all. It was quick, painless, easy. You can either download or order the CD from my website and it costs a mere $40. Here's the link.
And here is the "Before":

Over My Head

iheartfaces - Week 29 - Over My Head Photo Entry

One stop of our summer vacation this year was the beach in Wells, Maine. We had a great day July 9, 2010. Fiona has a seagull over her head as we were feeding them the extra squid we had from crabbing the other day. Photo auto-adjusted with Creative Memories' Memory Manager 3.0 (my program of choice).
