in between bursts of rain we set out to just get out. i grabbed my phone for the walk for one reason…the camera on it.
one thing we stressed on our photography panel at BlogHer was that whatever camera you have, it is not going to take very many great photographs sitting in your bag at home.
it is not the gear, but how you use it. even more simple, that you actually use it at all.
i love how a one block walk is a world of adventure to children.
once again the vignette app for the android phone does not disappoint. i really love what it does with black and whites.
in one image for each. (for now)
my trip was not just for the conference. there were photos to be taken as well!
as you can imagine, there are A LOT of pictures to edit so i just pulled one from each folder as a preview. i am taking the weekend to cuddle my children and recover from the jetlag. monday i will dig in and get started editing.
until then…
clover went back to the hospital today to meet with her metabolic team. she walked in the door and marched off towards the elevators. i was merely there to keep up with her and push the stroller holding our bags. you would never know that only a year ago, she was stuck in a bed in the same hospital. clearly she does not hold a grudge.
her report was good and as long as she does not get sick (come on spring!), she does not need to return for five whole months. they even let her skip out of the blood draws this time. i know that we can manage this and more importantly, she can manage this. she is so tiny, but strong.
it was amazing to spend the whole day with just clover. i feel like we really bonded today. we laughed, we held hands, we did what she wanted. i have said it before, but i mean it this time…i am going to make a day a week where i spend time with each twin by themselves. what cool little people they are.
today’s 365 shot with the cameraphone just had to be with my clover jane.
from today.
i plan on collecting my 365 shots weekly in a post here on the blog with thoughts on the process, but they go up daily on my flickr stream.
but until then it is more “phone-tography” (and then the point and shoot bali pics that I still have to post!)
although, come to think of it…what are “real” photos anymore?
today was adventure thursday with the twins. we hit the local play center. not very adventuresome, but honestly, trying to go to the bathroom at home with the twins around is an adventure so when we actually leave the house, there is the question…will we all survive?
and with that visit, i was crowned mayor of the place on foursquare. i am slowly acquiring a whole empire of children’s venues on that site.
and yes, that is gemma’s sweater that was actually peta’s sweater that she shrunk and i have now shrunk again.
