Well, at the very least, I hope she wears shoes! Unless it’s different in her neck of the woods…. 😉

Oh my gosh — before I finished reading your first paragraph, I was looking at the picture and thinking, “gee, Louanne sure dresses differently and wears a lot more make-up for church than she does in any of her other pictures….” OH, she’s Rahab! 🙂

I LOVE the pictures from the 14th. But Mike, while I agree that photography is more about the photographer than the camera, it also doesn’t hurt that you have such a beautiful, charming subject!

I didn’t take any of those pictures. But, since the camera question has been asked a few times recently…

I use a Canon EOS 10D with professional lenses, and we have a Canon PowerShot S3 IS as our “point-and-shoot” and video-clip camera. That being said though, I had three semesters of photography in college, and spent probably 1000 hours in the darkroom. Plus I’ve probably spent an additional thousand hours or more post-processing pictures on the computer in Photoshop and other software.

Photography is more about the photographer than the camera. The best improvements you will see in your photographs will come from learning some simple tips about photography and about how to take good photos with the equipment you have. There are lots of free web sites online with good general advice and examples. I’d suggest getting started by reading some of the articles and examples at places like photo.net. You could also google something like, “beginning photography” and find some good, simple resources.

We just started VBS today, our kids are so excited! What kind of camera does Mike have? He always takes the most amazing pictures!
Hope you enjoy a more “normal” week!
