Photo Diary of Happiness...and a Tantrum

I broke out the new camera and started reading the manual in anticipation of the fact that I will eventually go into labor and have a new baby who will need to be photographed. Wow, I am really excited about this camera but also completely overwhelmed by it. I won't mention how long it took me (and by me I mean Taki) to figure out how to get the Viewfinder to display the image I was viewing. Have no fear, I have signed up for a photography class at the Berkeley Adult School right down the street, so hopefully that will help.

I was out in the Antioch area having lunch with Gail yesterday, so I decided to stop by Mel's and use Kiwi as my test subject. She did a great job looking cute for the camera! Please excuse my lack of composition, centering, etc.

Later at home I tried to replicate the photo shoot with Nikos. Let's just say it did not go quite the same way. Figures.

Geez, you would think I just told him he had only two more days of being an only child.

Luckily, Daddy and some juice helped the situation.
