KODAK MOMENT of the Day

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.

Isaiah is a TDI Therapy Dog. Joke is that he won't need me to bring him to his Volunteer work when he learns to drive. Taken recently near Schuylerville, NY. He is also my beloved pet.

I'm a stay at home mom and have never taken a photography class, but I love capturing those little moments of my children playing with the beauty of nature. I took this photo last April on a horse trail in southern California. I am so grateful I will always have this photo to look back on whenever I want to relive the smells of that afternoon...

This is my daughter at the park near our house. We are enjoying the spring like weather that came a few weeks early. 

Two friends enjoying their walk through the covered bridge. 

I love how this picture captures the playfulness and dizziness of growing up. It was taken in Japan, late April of 2005. It feels like childhood, and captures a special moment with my family.

While walking along in Beijing, China I saw Chinese citizens playing checkers. Both players were intent on winning. I could feel the tension in the game. Photo taken in Beijing, China in October 2013.

My son overlooking Macchu Picchu mountain in Peru. He appears "On top of the world". It was a once in a life time trip my son to a mystic site.

I took this photo in April 2007, and it means a lot to me. It relates to the theme because it is a photo of Lila at 11 months old.

' my little bakers ' 

when you have mom and dad as chefs .. got to start them young :) 

Megan is five. Jake is five. Jake walked before Megan. Megan learned how to walk by following Jake. Jake learned how to give a paw, Megan learned how to blow a kiss. Jake learned how to bark, Megan learned how to say Mommy. Jake never learned how to brush his hair, so Megan did it for him for Nanny's 77th birthday bash. Megan and Jake are best buds.

Children from myanmar are playing on the road side.

Overlooking Lake Cushman. 

My husband Grant (no:252) is pictured here, finally making it into the pack - after always coming last, or nearly last - he's trained and practiced so hard this year, not just with the bike, but fitness training, weightloss and nutrition - and I'm very proud to see him succeed finally. He's 51 this year and has no intention of slowing down. It was taken in Bega, NSW on Sunday 27th April 2014. It fits into 'Event' as it's a moment in time when he's been captured succeeding at something he loves.

For a few days in April and May when the moon is full it hits the mist from Lower Yosemite Fall and creates an rainbow, see stars above the falls. This phenomenon only occurs regularly in 4 areas in the world (Cumberland Ky, Yosemite CA, Victoria Falls Zambia and in Costa Rica)

This picture is special for me because this is the most beatiful view i have ever see and it happened in my best vacation. It was taken a month ago in Montenegro mountains near Lovcen park. It is a beautiful sunset in a very beutiful park.

Having fun making a Easter card.

We recently visited my parents for a short vacation and took my children to the beach in Corpus Christi. This picture shows how excited my kids were at experiencing something new--chasing the waves back to the ocean; feeding the seagulls; building sandcastles. This was a FABULOUS day for all of us, and the sandy mess in the car--not a problem. It didn't bother me in the least because we were all (my parents and children and myself) had an unforgettable day at the beach!

This photo is an outtake from me trying to take my kids Easter photos. They were having a great time just being silly. I especially love the way my son is looking at his big sister. The bond between them is something special.

Image taken of grandaughter's reaction to her first Easter basket! Taken this year (2013)

This is a picture of my daughter, Emily. She was all dressed up for Easter Sunday, and it was raining. She was eager to go outside, and I captured this moment as she looked out the window.

This picture is special to me because it portrays the purpose of my life: to bear light and spread it among the inhabitants of Earth. I took this picture during a road trip in central Washington a few weeks ago.

Good memories at the beach. It was taken in Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic during some vacation days. Isn't he enjoying it?

Arrived at the party!

Misty start in Montfort (The Netherlands) with sunbeams en bicycles.

one of my three grandsons does not want to be on a picture!

This picture was taken in Temecula wine country, CA, USA, right after I landed on the ground from that same balloon in the picture. The picture shows that a lot of hard-work goes into a 45 minutes of fun-packed balloon ride. Many people only think of the fun part of flying... however, there is still the hard work before and after take-off, as shown in the picture. This is a special photo to me, as I believe I captured a very cool moment, with lots of information, which brings back fun memories of the ride each time I look at it.

We have had some beautiful sunsets here on Long Island recently. Here is one from Long Beach

A picture of my granddaughter, a perfect little tinkerbell, taken on a beautiful spring day!

My four year old son asked me, "can I take photos like you mommy?" So I gave him my old Kodak camera, and we set off in the backyard on a "safari"... He had a great time and I took photos of him as he took photos of bugs, clouds, trees, and grass.

The first moment I met my first grandbaby, breathtaking moments you want to hold in your heart forever.

It warms a mothers heart to see her children getting along. It is priceless to be able to capture that Kodak moment to look back on in the years to come ( or 5 minutes later when they are arguing LOL!)

I like to click her all day. This picture is one out of all those and very close to my heart . Loved this moment #Kodakmoments

Thank you @saintjacfilm for sharing your #KodakMoment is make us dream of sun, warmth, and California.

”Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had, and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.”-Linda Wooten

This picture shows the love of the baby to the mom. I think it's very rare to see this face in a baby - this face I usually see in older children.

smiles and smiles

Here my daughter , Renee, is trying to show how precious her mother is to her .... The feeling is just mutual darling!

Watching baby Dylan's love for his mommy Amanda was precious. We were at the beach for a long day and he was such a trooper.

This is my great-nephew and his mother on Mother's Day. She wanted me to take some natural pics so she could send some to her mother in South Carolina. When her mother received the picture...she cried!

The best gift I have ever received was becoming a mother. No matter how tired I am from a long day of work, I always look forward to seeing my precious son. He makes life worthwhile in every single way. I wouldn’t trade being a mother for anything. Cheers to all of the amazing and strong mother’s, because without you, there’s no such thing as pure love.
