Perfectly imperfect! POTD 5.18.07
Not every picture that's taken has to be technically perfect for it to be a treasure! I am HORRIBLE at having to have everything precise and perfectly placed, whether it be in my home, on a layout, or in my photographs. It's by far my best/worst quality. You should have seen when we began painting our home...I actually got a small craft brush out to make sure that I did all the cutting-in that precise! I absolutely LOVE this photo of DS and me. I love the relationship it captures, I love his expression and even my own. I love that I'm in a photo if you know what I mean? I held out the camera in front of us on a whim and whola...came up with this. As you can bet, I'm pretty emotionally attached to this photo and probably will be the rest of my life. I want to encourage all of you out there to once in a while throw technical junk out and just snap memories. Don't get caught up in the white balance, ap, ss, or ISO...just take the photo!

Wow I never would've guessed you took this!!! I like it, you did a great job! and I totally know what you mean, I think there is like one or two pics of me in my whole collection, I'm always on the other side of the lense:)
That's a great self-shot girl! I don't think I'd done that great... And I understand you perfectly about getting caught up with the technicalities of photography...sometimes we really DO forget about the moment and sacrifice it for a 'proper' exposure...Both of you look great!
TFS!
Wow, such a great shot!! That's amazing that you took this... awesome self-portrait! I love both of your expressions... beautiful!
I can't believe you took this yourself. It's a great capture!
this is so cute! and you took it yourself! impressive. this should definitely become one of your definite favorites. great job!
You are even awesome when you hand hold the camera! Can I please be like you when I grow up?
love the photo!
Wow! you can't tell your arm was out with this one at all! Awesome. Seems as if you're in the same mindset as I am... pictures capturing memories just matter!
And oh do I know what you mean about Grey's!!!!!!!!
I could never in a million years take a picture of myself as well as you did here. Kudos to you.
Fabulous shot. We have very few pictures of me with my son so I have to do the same thing!
Yuppers, it's all about the moments, isn't it? WTG lletting go of your own needs and letting the moment be captured. I love the joy in this photo...
I love the expressions here and great advice for those with little ones - take lots of photos to capture memories and make sure the photographer gets in the pic once-in-while! I noticed your new blog header today and yesterday - are these pics from Vegas? I'm a Grey's fan too and I'm going to watch it again tonight, hopefully uninterrupted!
Great self shot, you both look so happy, a perfect moment!
What a fantastic picture! I can't believe you took it yourself!
I love pictures of babies! I watched greys anatomy too and was very upset! I knew about burke and cristina, but what is up with Merideth? I LOVE Derek! I swore that If he cheated that I would never watch the show again. Geez.
Awesome capture! Great job doing this yourself!
