Tonight I opened up some images from Michigan to play with. AJ is my favorite subject to photograph right now, mostly because he's at a very fun age and will actually look at me occassionally (even if I DO have the camera in front of my face).
This was taken in Michigan....Myself, the boys, and my parents went to a park for a mini shoot and Ayden and I wandered off to this little cemetary. I saw this cool old building - I'm assuming it's where they housed lawn mowers and stuff - hopefully it wasn't just an old mosaleum (sp?).or something - elww. Anyway, it had these awesome blue doors all chipped up and I had to go check it out with AJ. He was pretty much done with pictures by this point, and I had to bribe him with some dusty Pez I found in my camera bag just to get him to sit still for 3 seconds.
This is one of his 2 yr old portraits that I will probably hang in the house somewhere (a big print most likely) and I was playing with different conversions. I'm usually a bw girl, but I liked the blue doors so much I wanted to keep them in. I'm leaning towards the muted color - that way it retains the blue of the door, but has more of a "classic" look to it. This was shot with my 20D, 50mm 1.8 lens...AV 6.0 I think? Not sure on shutter speed.....Opinions?
Going for something different with this last one, but I'm not sure I like it. I like this cross-processed look, but since I don't have anything else like this up in our house, I'm having a hard time picturing it hanging somewhere.
And here he is with his usual demeanor:
He's such a goofball, and very lively. He laughs a lot and is very silly. I imagine he will be the class clown. He can count to 7 in spanish, and can count to about 13 or 14 in English. He knows the alphabet (sort of) and is wicked accurate with a squirt gun. He is a daredevil and will jump off anything, anywhere. He is fearless. He doesn't walk - he never has. Except for his first wobbly days of taking those first few steps (at 9 months old), AJ has spent the majority of his life running, hopping, or skipping.He is a fun bundle of giggles, grunts, yogurt kisses, and tickles. Can you tell I love this kid?
