KODAK MOMENT of the Day

This picture is special to me because it's one of the few places I've visiting that is nothing short of awe-inspiring and magical. It's from my four-corners road trip that I took with my best friend. This was taken in September 2011.The picture was taken at shoshone point in the grand canyon, Arizona. The theme is travel/vacation as it summarizes in short the grandeur of traveling and the magic of places that transforms you.

This little farmer had to take a quick break in the field to enjoy his favorite food and to remind us that laughter is good for the soul. 

these boys enjoyed their icecreams on a hot summerday

This picture was taken at a pivotal point in my life. I was abandoned by someone who I was very much in love with just picture leaving for Vietnam (location of the photo), and the constant feeling of returning to an empty home sunk me to depths I'd never known. This was a month into my holiday, when I eventually began to see things clearly and regain some self-esteem. Being on top of the mountain so far away gave me clarity, and a peace that I welcomed with open arms. Since then, I have been making a steady recovery from my heartbreak. This photo was taken by my 18 year old sister on August 19th 2013.

A absolutely perfect '10' day on Long Island Sound. My 3 year old grandson enjoying the September warm temps at the beach.

This is my 2 year old daughter enjoying her first ice cream cone on a beautiful summer day. Nothing says summer like kids and ice cream!

This is a picture of my two kids and two nephews at our local creek. It was a hot summer day and they were thrilled to be in the water. I love this picture because you can see their joy. Pure and simple joy!

I took this picture of my best friends, at their wedding in Paris, Oct. 2003. I like it because it looks very romantic and sweet.

My daughter with her new kitten Lilly.

It captures the fun of being young and enjoying summer without a care in the world! I took this photo last month of my niece at a place called, Pixie Land.

Nothing like nice cold watermelon....and you can tell they are loving it.

I took this photo last summer. The kids had been painting...so to clean them up I pulled out an old tub, Mr Bubble, and the water hose. They had a blast! We can't wait for Summer 2008!

I took this with a Kodak one-time-use camera. It is one of the best pictures we have of her, and shows her silly side, even when swimming. I took this picture last summer in our backyard pool.

First day on the beach

My mom took this photo of my daughter October Rose giggling over my shoulder while on Mount Jefferson in North Carolina. She is my one love.

My daughter, Ashley, taken this morning. Today's her last day of school, & we had just picked some flowers from the garden for her to bring in to her teacher.

Fun in the sun!!

Spending the day at the lake catching frogs and swimming with the grandkids.

My baby enjoying his first family get together/party. Forever loved ❤️

My grandson's first real swim in the ocean. It was taken at Waterford Ct., beach...at that 'golden' time...right about sun set.

my grandson makes the first acquaintance with sand from the beach

This is my very athletic daughter, taken on a beach vacation at the end of summer, during a brief moment when she wasn't running or jumping or riding a wave in. This was just at the end of a boogie board run, before she jumped up and was off again. I love the pillow and blanket the ocean made for her, during her split second of rest.

Brother-in-law backpacking in Montana with my wife and I, the day after we crossed the Continental Divide on our way down to East Rosebud MT. Week long backpacking vacation. Taken Aug 21st 2014.

Their first ride in a speedboat! What a wonderful family vacation in Lake Tahoe, California, August 2005.

We were on vacation in Bethany Beach Delaware and the kids were playing around jumping the hole they had dug in the sand. I loved that wild, crazy thrill seeker expression on Ian's face

Andriel and I have been planning for our next wedding to crash. It’s nice to know that we can both laugh about our moments together no matter where we’re at or we go, because as long as we’re together, we’re unstoppable!

I took this picture of my 2 children on our first family vacation in the Thousand Islands, August 2008. This picture is so special to me because I took it, and it is absolutely beautiful.

During our trip in Madagascar this summer we hiked 14 km through rough landscape of Isalo National Parc. And finally  we reached this oase ‘piscine noire’ for a real cold refreshment.

my daughter went into the cold water for a traditional wet hair flip as a tradition we made every year such a holiday pic.

Braelyn is my middle aged child. He was recently diagnosed with autism and speech disabilities. He has always had a fascination with cars. 

Just finished paddle boarding and he couldn’t resist to continue his fun in the sand!

I caught the look my grandson gave to his mother as he boarded the bus for his first day of kindergarten. Quite an event!

We are always out at the last minute for the school bus. I am going to put a print of this on my son's bedroom wall to remind him of the consequences of his leisurely manner of getting ready! :-)

This picture includes a picture of my father and daughter. He was trying to teach her how to fish. She was interested in the little guppies in water. This picture was taken at sunset. I think this picture makes you wonder what they are looking at.

my son loves to"puddle jump"and I was lucky to capture this moment without getting my camera all wet. He took my umbrella to run and jump in the rain as we were leaving the park it was a very light drizzle at that time and I got this shot as the sunset behind him. taken in Gulf Breeze, Florida.

This is special because it was an attempt to capture those childhood moments where one enjoyed every little things of life..like the rain! Taken in Kumarakom, last rainy season.

This picture captures the pure exhilaration of one of those treasured childhood memories--a trip to an amusement park! This was taken at Paramount's Kings Dominion last summer. I was in the car in front of them. I focused on the car in front of me, then held the camera over my head to get the shot. Whenever my kids see this image, they ask when will we go back!

This was a rare family day out last September. My husband and I took our two sons to the beech. It's very special to me because the trip was full of laughter and fun, and was spent with my 3 amazing boys!

Hayden is a joyful 27 day old premie baby boy. Although he can’t fully open his eyes yet he is constantly smiling and i just so happen to be lucky enough to catch him in action! He loves to stick his tongue out and brighten people’s day every chance that he gets. ♥️

I capture this photo in Bhuli SVM School on 15th august 2011, Dhanbad Jharkhand.

My father is a pretty stoic guy, but put him around his grandchildren, and he is all smiles :-)

This was on a sunday, in Paulista Avenue. And those are my friends, being happy, and i do really love this photo 

taken end of august....final days at pool with my friends....had the pool to ourselves and we decided to do a big hat day.....

my youngest grandson playing in the rain for the first time.

Visiting my dad at his new home quite a while away from us, he doesn't see how grand kids that often. We had been trying to get our newborn, Harley to smile all week and we always missed it with the camera. However, my dad held him for the first time and his little face was beaming, smiling from ear to ear. I managed to whip my phone out and capture him smiling whilst gazing at my dad.

2 week old baby boy smiling as i give him a kiss on the forehead. ♥️

My two girls argue over everything. This was the easiest way for them to settle who gets it next. We were eating at a restaurant in Atlanta, Ga. It was taken on November 6, 2013.

My Grandparents were so happy to meet their great-grandson! This picture will always being meaningful because it was the last picture taken of my Grandfather.

Duke, my son's 10 week old german shepherd puppy, is a camera ham! He would run a few feet, plop down, and look back at the camera. If he could talk, we are sure that he would have been saying, "Did you get this angle?" 

My grandson Jack.. watching his favorite super hero's TMNT

the girl is my cousin grandmas house and spring shes my cousin

This picture was taken at a local park. The older sister is loving the baby sister after she had fallen down.

A family outing where everyone surfs below the lighthouse in Santa Cruz California

I always anticipate the unexpected when my sister plans our family trips. This photo captures why. Still not sure how she made it all happen--just glad I had my camera. Taken in March of 2012 in Bryce Canyon, Utah.

Every fall I gather my family together to take photo's for our Christmas cards. To keep everyone happy, we all take turns posing. This was one of our favorites.
