KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Two of my sons..playing in the leaves.

This was my birthday present for me... The camera is on a ladder and we are all laying on a street :) I wanted the viewer to get a sense of just how many are in my family :)

Already when I was shooting the picture, I knew it would be one of my most favorite photos that I have taken to date. Michigan, October 21, 2012 I love the curiousity of a young child (my niece) discovering something new, in this photo it is a rooster who seems equally curious of the child. Editor's Note: Enjoy this photo for Respect For Chickens Day!

Here's Savannah, looking for the perfect pumpkin. The day was overcast, and I set my camera mode on program ISO 400, f6.3, 1/350sec.

Flying high in an airballoon over Cappadocia...the stunning views, gorgeous weather and breathtaking landmarks were an unbelievable experience.

I was in Jamaica at a girl's safety center. Girls here are either from an abusive or neglected background. Many smiles. They had a talent show that day and these girls won first prize. I especially like that they are posing for another photographer.

A camel decided to pose and smile with us while taking a selfie yesterday at the Giza pyramids.

This image was taken with the newly re-released Kodak TMAX P3200 35mm film.  It depicts the pop act, Matt and Kim performing recently at Flying Dog Brewery in Frederick, Maryland.

My world revolves around my horse. She has been with me through every rough bump in my life, and does nothing but show me love and compassion. She will do anything I ask of her and follows me around like a puppy dog. I would be lost without my horse to keep me smiling everyday. I took this picture on October 24th at my farm and it shows only a glimpse of the love and care she gives me. She is my horse and my best friend and there is nothing better than getting a warm fuzzy hug from my horse Chargie.

This was my son's first trip to a pumpkin patch, taken in October 2010. He was amazed with all of the colors and pumpkins. He was given this balloon and I happened to capture this sweet, innocent moment.

On a walk through the pumpkin patch my Golden Bravo encountered this designer pumpkin.

It is a picture of my granddaughter and she is always special to me. It was taken at Halloween in my yard.

I took this picture on a cold day in late November. The colors were so vivid... the tree, the girls clothes, and their eyes just seemed to really stand out.

I took this image during a photo session with my friends two sons in November, 2012 in downtown Rome, GA. I had just wrapped the session when I saw the boys walking hand in hand and could not resist this candid shot.

These are my children Casey and Hailey. They were enjoying the fall leaves, and putting up with daddy bothering them to get a picture. It was taken this fall in the leaves at our home.

This picture was taken in September, during a tournament in St. Peters, Missouri: high school JV softball game. You're witnessing a spectacular catch at 3rd base, and a jubilant pitcher. My daughter has been on a community rec-league team with both girls for several years, and it was a true "Kodak Moment". The whole team went wild.

Our pup, trying to get our daughter Kyra's wild blackberries. Taken at sunset in our Ohio hayfields, August 2006.

This was taken in August in Arkansas during an extremely humid morning. In between wiping off my lens and trying to keep up with this little tot who just turned one, I was lucky to capture this silly face. Just makes you smile!

During my trip in Madagascar we had a lot of fun with the local children who likes to takes selfies with my phone

Getting children to pose for a photo is hard enough but add to that them being on a swing? The moment captured is truly rare and fleeting. This photo was taken at a park in San Francisco's Chinatown on May 3rd of 2009. This urban park had older folks playing cards and kids running around. A modern town square.

This was a spontaneous pose on Elli's part. She peeked out just at the moment I was clicking the camera!

This picture is so special to me because it really captures my daughter's playful spirit. While I was trying to rake leaves, Grace kept jumping in the piles and I thought it was such a "kodak moment!" You can really see her personality come through.

2 of my beautiful babies, still finding time to show that they love each other, while having fun on a swing :)

This is my son, looking out our window, while wearing his Superman boxers. I thought it was a real "Kodak Moment". :-)

Tommy loved playing in the corn box on a beautiful fall day.

We attended an annual walk called Forever Footprints with our daughter and grandson to honor all babies gone to soon. We walked with thousands of other families that were there for the same cause, their babies. My husband captured this tender moment as my grandson’s name was being read. My daughter a.k.a mommy and little brother were presented with a beautiful white rose to walk with during the walk. A  rose for a son and a big brother who is truly loved and missed.

I just happened to catch the priceless expression on his face at the right moment!

Love the look on his face, fun Halloween picture

I love how comfortable these sisters are with one another. It was a beautiful moment to witness and capture!

This picture is of my 3 year old daughter Elladiss. It was taken while we were painting pumpkins for Halloween. At first I had done the typical Mom thing and spread out a bunch of newspaper to keep things neat. We were having so much fun that eventually both of us embraced the mess!

I took this photo last Halloween as my kids were crossing the street to go Trick or Treat at this house. The house was the best in the neighborhood; it looked very spooky with the fake smoke all around it. 

My Robby modeling his Halloween costume (2011). :)

This is a picture of two brothers. They're wearing the Halloween costumes they proudly selected, on their own, with no help from their parents.

End of season fishing trip with my dad in High Sierras 

This is a photo of 6 month old twin girls taken at their pediatrician's office. Mother looked down & saw this. Unbelievable how twins react to one another.

It makes my heart melt every time I look back at it. This picture demonstrates how much dog and owner love each other. Hugs are most important in keeping the happiest relationships. The photo was taken in South Lake Tahoe, CA. The picture is of a pet, but also is a best friend forever.

Bestest moment with my son Atharva Jethlia...and beautifully captured by my husband..

This my Autistic son who has been terrified of water all his life. This year he has had one on one lessons to swim and this is the first time he has been on a beach and played in the sea. The picture is taken at Bude, UK where he played for hours. A very special milestone for all the family

Chillaxening, doesn't matter where!

Enjoying the fullness of life in Brussels, Belgium! 

My kids playing in the leaves the other day

This is me dancing to some Bollywood tunes during my Wedding Reception in Lake Placid. After a long day of some traditional Indian Wedding Ceremony it was time to party! 

It was taken in our backyard and was not planned. Our dog, Coakley, was looking through the fence at the neighbors and our daughter, Ella, wanted to see what was going on.

This is a picture of my granddaughter as she is looking at her Uncle Mike's dog tags. It is special because both of ther parents are dear to me, and because Uncle Mike  served in Iraq. The picture was taken in my front yard.

Granddaughter discovering the ocean.Fort Bragg,California 

Was taken on my sister Michell's wedding day. Was taken in the Free State in December 2013 feeling of happiness theme

My nephew and my dog taken last June at my house. I want my life to be this complicated.

Every time my granddaughter comes to visit us she runs straight to the grapes in the garden.

The love between a pet and child is so beneficial to us humans, showing us unconditional love teaching younger children responsibilities. This picture was taken in my bedroom, my daughter was upset that I wouldn't let her wear a skirt. When I came out of the shower she had fallen asleep like this with him , they slept for over a hour together just like this. Under the category Pets, well because he is our pet .

This picture is special to me because these girls are the best girls ever to know! I am a senior in high school, and I've grown up with these girls and they have become some of my closet friends! This picture was taken at one of our soccer games during a tournament over christmas break. I was injured at the time so I decided to take some shots of my team! This picture relates to the theme because it shows my most personal friends, girls I consider my family!

I took this picture during the rehearsal for the opening ceremony of festival ¨Sarajevo Winter.¨ In sub-zero temperatures, these girls didn't bother standing for hours, and they had fun. I just love the look in their eyes.

Rain, 10 months, shared her Kodak-moment snooshy face with us yesterday.  She started making this face when she wasn't crazy about something she ate, but she got enough laughs from it that she pretty much does it on command now.  8)

This photo was taken during a local Hindu festival in India. The smile of the child was really sweet i could not help sharing it to the world

Editor's Note: Enjoy today's International Picture of the Day selection!

This photograph was taken December 2008 in South Bend, Indiana. It captures the excitement of the first big snow. The subject is my 5 year old daughter - Mandy.

my puppy Rusty decided he was gonna sleep next to me 2 month grandson AJ.

it was the most priceless moments we have experienced since our grandbaby was born, Thank God I always have my camera ready. 

This picture started off as just a playful shot of my son on his skateboard. Thanks to KodakMoments, I was able to turn it into a work of art and some great gifts. Thanks Kodak!

This is my friends daughter Keshia. We had some fresh fallen snow and I shot this of her having fun and blowing snow at me. The snow is so light and as she blowing it seems to have a little magic to the image.

This was a fun day at Walt Disney World! I captured my daughter having sooo much fun on the teacup ride. What a moment to capture and treasure!

A friend's son relaxing on his wagon. I love his expression and the winter gear he has on.
