KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Dreaming of spring, in the middle of winter... This picture of an old abandoned corral playing host to new life helps me imagine that spring is coming.

My daughter, Philomena! :)

The picture tells you all.

March "Madness" is a college basketball season. Basketballs are blooming!!

I wanted to create a cool hot rod image.

This is a photo of my sister LeAnne. She is getting ready for a summer wedding here, but I loved how beautiful she looked before she was even ready--so I took her photo. The bright blues, greens, and pinks were just a bonus.

I truly love this photo. It was taken in the SMOKY MOUNTAINS in Tennessee. The blue hue of the mountains remind me of heaven and the path is the way there.

I snapped this photo of my nephew Eli while he was mowing the grass. I call the photo "Dennis the Menace" because Eli is always up to something, and he had a mischievous look at the time the photo was snapped.

This picture is special to me because it's the first picture I took with my camera. I took this picture at my house and it relates to the theme because it is artistic and creative to me.

This was taken at the Como Park Conservatory in St. Paul, MN. I liked the colors and the odd shape of this flower.

My sweet little niece-- having fun posing with an umbrella! She is always a delight to work with and just loves the camera! :)

Wall art in a San Diego parking lot after a rainfall.

Brennan had been working so hard on his "over the top motion" in pitching. In his best 3 innings of pitching baseball, yet, my friend caught the exact perfect pitch! He is only 9!

This picture was taken at our cabin. The nest was in a small tree with the early morning sun shining on the five perfectly placed eggs.

We were driving down a backroad on our way home and I snapped this picture. It just seemed to turn out! (At least for a spur of the moment snap shot.) These two are inseparable. Zeus (the dog) and Trint go to work together everyday and you rarely see them apart.

The Angel at Bass Hall has become an icon in Fort Worth Texas that represents the cities commitment to the Arts! I captured this image on a summer morning in 2007 when the big blue Texas sky was accented beautifully with wispy white clouds!

This was the start of the ING Atlanta Marathon

I took this picture (August 2007) at the El Zota Biological Field Station in Costa Rica during a herpetology field course. He was sleeping on a leaf when we found him, but woke up and hopped away as I snapped this picture.

My best friend, he is beautiful "inside and out".

I had to smile when I saw this cow posing behind a gorse bush. Co.Kerry,Ireland. November 2007.

It is one of my first pictures 4 years ago I am a painter too

The Nature itself is beautiful. The inside of the flower are more interesting This was taken in USA Longwood Gardens PA.

My niece Nicole at Waters Edge in NJ.

While on a photo walk in Chicago, I was thrilled to see the reflection of the Wrigley Building in the windows across the street. I just had to make an exposure.

I was driving through a forested area as it began to rain. After a short time, this leaf wafted down and landed the hood of my car. I just loved the way the yellow of the leaf stood out against the blue of my car, particularly with the accent of the rain drops. Since I had my camera, I pulled over before the leaf blew away, hopped out of my car, and made an exposure.

A sign of spring!!! Taken in Cumberland Gap KY with the Z712IS.

Horse racing at beautiful Saratoga Race Track in Saratoga Springs, NY. This was shot as the three horses reached the finish line...all in line. August 2007

Photo Story: This is Dixie, my boyfriends English Mastiff. I had a hard time getting her to look into the camera, so I put a stick up to the lens. She ended up biting it! I love this shot of her!

Photo Story: This is a picture of a nice dog that I took last summer.

It was during the last week of my pregnancy and I was overdue. I was at the point where if I didn't laugh, I would just cry. My friend Joan took some pictures for the baby book. As she was taking them, the baby was doing what felt like cartwheels and it got me to giggling like mad. She snapped the picture and it was an instant favorite.

Editor's Note:To Mom's everywhere, Happy Mother's Day!

Photo Story: This picture is special to me because it's of me and my son. I'm always the one behind the camera taking pictures and I really wanted to try to capture a moment between the two of us... So I put the camera on a chair and set the timer and got this shot which I love. I took this picture in my backyard about a month ago. I love my son with all that I am and I am just so happy to finally have a nice picture of the two of us.

Taken from the top of the Voodoo Lounge rooftop in Vegas.

A photo of my oldest daughter taken a couple of years ago. She wanted to wear a raincoat that was too small, and jump in puddles.

I consider myself very fortunate to have taken this picture. Or shall I say it just happened?

I captured my 8 year old daughter, who was only 6 at the time, bending down to smell some daffodils. I thought this shot would look beautiful on canvas, so, I thought I would try my hand at digital painting, making this my very first project.

I took this picture of a sunflower growing in our kitchen window and then later added the green to it on a computer program.

This is the Blue Angels, taken at the Cherry Festival in Traverse City Michigan. They went by so fast that this was really a point and click opportunity! Picture taken with a Kodak Z612.

Due to the climate I live in, I can garden only about half the year. During those months I spend so much time in the garden, and take on so many projects there, that my husband "Photo Shopped" this image of me as a joke.

Zebra fun in Photo Shop :)

This was taken at the north side of the Grand Canyon. The burnt trees went on for miles.

Photo Story: My little girl, Laurcy Belle, LOVES the movie "Enchanted" and was soooo excited when she saw the Kodak Picture Screen in the background as Giselle came to New York City! She told me, "Mommy, I want to be that New Yuwrk Pwincess Gurl too!" So we had a photoshoot so she can be "enchanted" also. :)

This is my daughter's friend. My daughter and her friend perform live tributes to Johnny Cash and June Carter. They wanted me to take some night portraits for them so they could use their own pictures on their posters. A cobbled street was the setting for this photograph using only a street light for my lighting.

Photo Story: I took this picture while on a scuba diving trip to Cayman Brac in the West Indies. I spotted this guy coming towards me and possitioned myself to take a series of pictures as he swam by. I was in the right place at the right time.

This picture was taken at Kauffman Stadium waiting for a Royals game to start. Her daddy loves baseball and this is his favorite picture of her. Since the day she was born, he has been drilling her with baseball stats.

I took this picture in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Editor's Note: As we celebrate Memorial Day we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Photo Story: I took this photo while on vacation in Washington D.C. with my parents and children. They were doing the changing of the guard. It's just a beautiful photo to me.

On a recent trip to the Thar Desert in Rajasthan India, the evening sunset with the camels was inspiring and truely a memorable moment.

Many photographers know the famous upper Antelope Canyon from stunning landscape pictures showing just sandstone .... here is the truth: the Canyon is crowded with Canons and tripods! It's just too funny. Shot in April 2006.

This is a picture of my daughter taken while we were on vacation in Virginia. She looks so small sitting on this bench all by herself.

This image was taken at a lovely banquet facility in Fayetteville, NY. We were given the run of the place while it was closed and had a lot of fun! I love this image because it brings back the wonderful imagery of old Hollywood for me. I have always been captivated by old movies!

I go to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in New York City every year. The tulips are stunning.

I saw this face in the window of a pet shop and I couldn't resist. His eyes said take me home, and I did! Little Silver, NJ 2007

I took this photo of my 4 year old nephew in the summer of 2007. I figured that I could get him to place his face in the water if I put goggles on him and he could see under the water. Boy how right I was! From that point on he couldn't get enough of the new experience and at the end of the day, exhausted though he was, he reluctantly got out of the pool.
