Through the Viewfinder (TtV)

So...I've been lurking over at Andrea's blog for several years now & have completely fallen in love with this form of photography that she has been working on...see her awesome post here.

I am now the proud owner of a vintage Argus Argoflex Seventy-Five. (purchased from eBay for a total cost of $6.99...can't beat that kind of fun!) I outfitted it with it's funky cereal box/electrical tape tube contraption & off I went.

I practiced on my best-friend's kids & wow was it tricky. The backward image, the awkward way you have to hold the two cameras, moving subjects, lighting issues...but it was SO MUCH FUN!

I think I'm hooked.

Happy Halloween!!!

I really, really, really would love to get back into blogging.
The seasons are finally changing in Las Vegas
and soon we will be out of the 80 degree weather.
There is something about the cooler days that inspire me to write, reflect, & share.

My Avery is a hand full...actually two hand fulls wrapped up in a spunky little girl package!
I've recently experienced a rather unsettling version of deja vu...
My petite girl (she's officially only in the 3rd % for weight) was lying on the floor today...
Did I say lying...I meant flailing wrecklessly & releasing an ear piercing wail when the recollection happened.

I distinctly and uneasily remember doing the same exact thing
in the hallway of my childhood home.
So it is true what they say...and I will be paid back ten-fold...
She may not look like me, but I may very well have given life to my very own mini me.

Incredible Blog Slacker!!!

I can't believe how I've neglected this space...

My only excuse is that I've been busy being a mom,

and quite a bit of time spent on my Etsy shop.

I miss this...

I hope to be back...

More pictures of myself & the little one,

I miss what an exploration & lesson s

elf portrait challenge can be...

must make time!

So...here I am.

Over a foot of hair cut off.

Donated.

I must admit this picture is so old,

I already have a new style.

Here's my sweet girl.

8 months now!

More pictures on our family blog (also neglected!)
