A young girl shows me how to draw lightening in a small school in North Carolina.

This is the first camera I purchased almost 10 years ago. My kids are into photography now and my youngest claimed this camera early spring this year. He has not put it down since. Nothing makes him happier than his Kodak camera in hand and capturing the world around him. I will be sharing more of his work from his camera soon. Hope this makes someone smile.

Taken at Colleges Gaelic Football match in Sligo, Ireland during a tense moment during an exciting semi-final game in February. Combining elements of rugby, soccer and "Australian rules' football, this Kodak Moment provides a current look at an ancient game that can be traced to the early 14th century.

Tonights the night that my swim buddy's hard work will payoff.  Final swim meet of the indoor season.

Isn?t this a million-dollar smile?! A group of us visiting Cuba were on our way from Trinidad to Havana and stopped at a roadside lunch area. This fellow was part of one of the many excellent bands that seem to be on every corner in Cuba!

Capturing moments with my great nephew

our grandson got a puzzle on his 3rd birthday, which he immediately started to put together

I took this candid picture of my daughter and a friend's dog -- who were both resting after a few "hours" of play during the holidays.

I just love the expression on his face. From "pooie on you" to laughing. This is my grandson, and I got a whole series of great expressions of him on that day. Taken last March in his dining area. He was 1 1/2 yrs old at the time.

I was testing my camera the other day and my daughter volunteered to be my "subject". I took this close up of her with her favorite stuffed animal and I just adore the way her eyes look in this photo.

This is a quirky photo of my husband and myself on holiday in France. We could not get an English-speaking person to take our picture, so we decided to take a selfie . . and it came out great! It was taken at one of the many cobble stoned villages in the Provencial south.

It is a once a month Saturday ritual - Dad and Son go to the barber for a haircut. This was the first time that my four-year old sat in the chair by himself. You can see he was a bit unsure of the whole thing!

I took this photograph of my husband and daughter when we were visiting Paris. It was taken in front of the Notre Dame and the bells were chiming when I took this photo of them feeding birds. What a moment!

My son Rhett is very affectionate and wants to hug everyone, if they want to or not! His victim here -- a very special young neighbor of ours. I love the honest expressions and interaction in this photo. Among those that I have taken, it's one of my favorites! I used Kodak 200 print film on full auto in my Canon Elan IIe SLR.

This is a picture of my son, Jeremy, the day after we visited a local festival. He won his 'eye glasses' playing a game. In the morning he also wanted peanut butter on his waffles.

Beautiful Irish landscape in a typical weather.

Just two pals! I love how I got them both looking at the camera the same time.

This was taken on the Hudson River near Barrytown, NY during this unusually cold winter. Ice boats from the Hudson River Ice Yacht Club were sailing up and down 20 miles of the river giving rides to the hundreds of people who ventured out there.

It doesn't happen very often. Celebrating Holi Hindu Festival of Colour in snowing London.

These little girls portray the season splendidly at the sun perdition.

My wife and I were in Guangdong China, adopting our daughter. We were visiting a country side village and these two girls were following our group. Our guide said that it may have been the first time that they had seen Americans.

This was taken in a North Alabama cave this past spring. My friend here is spinning burning steel wool which is making the sparks. I loved the combination of the natural light beams coming from an opening & the sparks.

Hadley and Amira are celebrating spring at the park after a very long winter.

Happy kids of Satkhira.

Cante, Baile, Celebre! translates to Sing, Dance, Celebrate! From 1 lbs. 11 oz. (and 50% chance of surviving) at birth, to 21 lbs. 24 months later, Isabella celebrates life. The picture reminds my family and I to sing and dance like no one is watching and to savor each day.

I took this photo of my daughter & son at Jones Beach on Long Island. I thought it captured a sweet moment between siblings & the joy/novelty of being at the beach in April (after a long western NY winter).

The connection between a child and a parent is fading more and more in a time where everybody is so busy, and especially in a city like London that never stops. This Photograph represent that sweet time that a kid have when the mum is around him, it shows happiness and human connection. It was taken in a little french cafe in Clapham North in a sunny spring day. I guess the subject itself strictly relates to the theme.

As the sun rose on the Moroccan desert, we hiked to the top of the dunes. As we got the the top, I reached into my pocket, pulled out the point and shoot, and snapped one of the most spontaneous shots I have ever taken. The result was this unexpected shot.
