Photos from this week…first some of Jeff & Lyle at the bayou, then some of Lyle & my mother-in-law Tuesday night at dinner. These are a mix of digital and film. It’s mostly film–all the black & whites–with some color (digital) thrown in. I love both.
I decided to switch things up and shoot black & white this week. This is also from my stash of stuff that has sat in closets for a few years. This is surely expired although I don’t know how long. Probably about as long as the NPH I’ve been shooting.
This came out less contrasty than I expected. I don’t know why…old film? poor scanning? No idea. I remember this being a fairly contrasty film. I boosted the contrast of a few of these just a smidge because they were just too flat for what I’d been envisioning when I shot them. And again, it’ll probably take me a few rolls of this to figure out how to shoot it for the way I like it.

It’s felt like summer here in Houston for a while already, but last week was the end of preschool, so now it’s *really* summer.
We celebrated with a little backyard swimming with friends. Happy Memorial Day weekend!

I do not have a film post for you today. Back next Friday with more film, for sure.
Lyle likes to take pictures. He looooves to be in pictures. “Mommy, take a picture of me doing this!” “Take MORE pictures of me!” “Let me go get something to hold to make me even cuter!” He points out spots he thinks would be good for photos. But my very favorite thing is when he asks me, “Is this good light?”
And if he does not want me to take his picture, he has ways of making that known. Making silly faces is his usual trick. Or turning his head away so I can’t see his face. Today, though…today. We were in the checkout line of the garden center at Lowe’s, and I had the camera slung over my shoulder. I thought it might make a cute image–him sitting there in the cart–so I lifted the camera to my eye, he saw what was about to happen, and he yelled, “BUTT!” This image is the split second before BUTT.
