KODAK MOMENT of the Day

This was taken on New Year's Day 2010 in Philadelphia, PA, while waiting for the train into the city. It was just a simple loving kiss that happened to be captured on camera. My boyfriend and I love this picture because it didn't just capture a kiss but also our love.

In January, while 18 month old Alex napped, Daddy built a snowman. When he awoke, Alex was so excited to put on his coat and go out and play. He was so impressed with the snowman, and after staring at it, he gave it lots of hugs.

I had the privilege of returning to Africa this year to work with the many orphans in the country. This picture was taken in Kenya during July at an orphanage there. The young girl's name is Ann Petrice and she is carrying her baby sister.

Hudson Clark is a 4 month old little guy who loves his dinosaurs! He lights up any room he’s in and brings pure joy to his Mom and Dad! ??

My kids were having a blast sledding after a snowstorm. I love the expression my son Mike has in this image.

My son Benjamin enjoying a refreshing drink on a cool autumn afternoon.

My 3 year old daughter dancing in the livingroom as a blizzard swarmed outside. This was taken in January of 2005.

Taken at the end of a hard day of sledding during our family's annual "Happy New Year's Day Sledding Marathon"! She looks small, but she out-sled us all!

Even though we are getting older it doesn't mean we can't still have fun. This was a shot I took for a challenge called "first person." I took it in January after a lovely big storm here in Athol, Massachusetts -- and it was a fun picture to take.

This shot was of my grandson and his best friend.. he was telling her a secret..

Our daughter and I built this snow friend together. When it was time for her to go in for her nap she gave her new snow friend a kiss.

This is a fun picture of kids enjoying the winter holiday.

A friend and her new baby son. Can't help but feel the happiness of Mom and baby!

I like the determined expression that our twelve-year-old son, Jake, had on his face, as he started down the hill on his snowboard! The sport/action setting on my EasyShare is excellent for motion shots like this.

Is it really winter? I caught Beau making the most of the end of the day, enjoying every last minute of the unseasonably warm weather we'd been having. This was shot at sunset, late January, at the local elementary school's playground.

My wife, listening to her favorite performer, Sting. I snapped this picture while on vacation in the Turks and Caicos Islands, British West Indies.

My niece and nephew having fun with clown noses.

It is a picture of my grandchildren, taken March 3 in Brazil where the baby boy was born February 27, 2015

This was taken in after a rare snowfall for North Carolina. This was my children's first real snow experience. 

This picture captures the joy of a 5 year old as she is sledding down a hill. Pix taken in Colorado- March 2013.

I love this shot of my son while we were on vacation. He often humors me while I take pictures. Evergreen, Colorado. He is my son.

This photo was taken last summer during our 10 day vacation at Winnipeg. It was really nice to see the children together again after 8 years. They became closer and are all looking forward to see each other again.

This was a special shot in natural light taken at Skansen Craft Village outside Stockholm Sweden, 1984. The lighting of the scene was magical and I took it with a Minolta x-700 on Kodachrome 25 with out flash! The work of the potter was awe inspiring as this little child seems to be comletely drawn into his process. The spiritual principal this shot reflects speaks of a Father teaching his children his ways. Very skilled molding is going on here! And as the child face portrays, it is a wonderous thing indeed!

Between Cross Country ski runs...

True love in 2012 :)

A mother and son share a great smile and laugh by the Potomac river in Maryland.

It was my son Jerrel Jr. First baseball game. 

Every night we read a couple of books to Isaac before bed.  I love this time of day we get to snuggle him! 

What you see is my wife flying a kite. This photo has enormous value for me because it resembles the true spirit of my loved ones, colorful and bright soul. I took this photo at the mountain nearby Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, at very high altitude. Both of us enjoyed the photos but were thrilled about this particular one.

With my love in Saint idesbald in belgium. 

This picture is very special to me because it was taken right before my nephew Thomas was sent out to Iraq for the second time. It was taken last Fall for he and his wife's engagement pictures.

Just wanted to make sure she makes it home alright.

Connections between people is the reason I love to take pictures! I love the connection of this couple, and the shadow and light sets the mood.

My son got a puppy for valentines day.. he cried as he opened the huge box that the puppy jumped out of.

This picture was taken on the beaches of Florida, with REAL FILM, not a digital camera!  It was a spontaneous shot caught by my mom, Juanita Zachary!  You can tell by the way he is looking at me how adoring he is of of me and I am in the most complete state of joy!  This is the phase in our lives we were in as well, I was just about to move to Nashville to be with him, and we were both in this constant state of splendor, we were walking on air!  To have that captured on film is so amazing to us!!!!

my children, the joy of my life

These are my two youngest grandsons ages 14 & 16 months old. They were having fun playing my piano a couple of weeks ago. I especially like the way the diaper is showing.

Emalee Powers, age 2, was totally unimpressed by a Columbus, Ohio snowstorm.  Maybe that's why she enjoys living in Florida now as an 11 year old.

My daughter Kyra (pictured) was the "idea person" and editor of this shot. Kodak.com has featured my photos of her since she was a little girl, but now she's a senior and the creative spark behind many of our shots.

This kid is involved in helping build a hut during the Festa Natura nature festival.

My granddaughter, 3 years old, in my driveway, just taught her hopscotch

I took this picture March 2008 before Easter after the egg hunt. I just liked the spiraling composition.

This is my sweet princess. Taken March 2016. My daughter and I were painting princess pictures and I had to take a picture of her beautiful face.

I found this picture of my parents in a box of old photos. It so perfectly captures their relationship then, as newlyweds, and throughout their fifty plus year marriage - love, laughter and joy in being with each other. I can only assume another family member took the shot, perhaps one of my Dad's brothers, shortly after my father's discharge from the army in 1946, at Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, NY.

My nephew & his wife were married in May 2007, in Maui. During a formal photo session on the beach, the rain came down and so did the pre-planned poses... This captures the spontaneous fun-side of being in love! This is what family is about to me, making more cherished memories.

I love the expressions, especially of the baby. I took this in my garage-on the floor with blankets and a black backdrop, so the lighting is all natural. It was taken in July 2007.

Taken at our local skate park. These little guys were watching the older kids skate and looking a little scared.

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.
