ulman cancer fund photos
i’m finally catching up on my blogging…i’ve got several things to post but wanted to start with this one. i took photos again this year for the ulman cancer fund’s blue jean ball last month. i took photos of both young cancer survivors and people who had lost loved ones to cancer; the photos were printed large and hung at the back of the room so that attendees could see the faces of the people their donations are helping. this was my second year being asked to do it and i was grateful for the chance to participate in the UCF mission.
to see photos from the night of the event, check out shawn hubbard’s flickr stream (he was the photographer that night; don’t miss his work on his website for the ravens – it’s beautiful)
portrait photography workshop
it’s official: i’m offering my first workshop to teach folks how to take better photos of their kids. check out all the information HERE.
new favorite blog
i majored in print journalism when i was in college. i thought i was going to be a writer: traveling the globe, covering wars and famine and bringing to light all the injustices of this cruel world. i would make people care.
instead i’m a mom to two, wife to one, dog owner and suburban home owner. my kids play sports and take piano and guitar lessons. i fret about the price of organic food and the 35lbs i’ve gained since having my second child more than 6 years ago.
there is not a heck of a lot of excitement or danger or thrill in my life and mostly i’m ok with that. would i really trade a globetrotting job for kate and jack? (sometimes. when they’ve been out of school for a few days.)
but sometimes when i see an amazing photograph from another part of the world i think it would have been cool to be the one to have captured it. to have been the one to have taken such an amazing/uncomfortable/heartbreaking/arresting photograph that a suburban mom reading the news on her ipad over her morning cup of coffee would stop to think about life beyond her world.
