KODAK MOMENT of the Day

I had my Canon A1 inside my rucksack with much other stuff in Romania and the back just opened itself. First I was on the edge of despair because these were precious holiday photos and my digital camera had been stolen a few days back, but when I got the results, I was positively surprised about the beautiful effect. This was shot on Kodak Ektar 100, my favorite color film.

Landon and Jack Hines of St. Louis Missouri head back to school! 

This is mom & son's first ever sunset on the beach. We had been to a secluded beach in Maharashtra where my son was amazed to see the sunset.

This picture was taken in Romania.That is my daughter's (Jessica) first kiss.

Just a Day in Islamorada Life in The Fl Keys Finnegan is our First Mate aboard the Historic Skip Jack sailboat Sol Sister , we were taking a well deserved swim .

While visiting Chicago last summer, my grandson spent some quality time checking out all the cars, trucks, and people out our hotel window. This shot has become a favorite with my friends and family.

A perfect way to spend a vacation day!

This is special to me because she is my granddaughter. I took this photograph in our pool this summer having alot of fun with my family.

This picture is special to me because it captures my boy's innocent smile, like a moment of true joy captured directly from the heart. It was taken within our house with just the morning light coming in through the window. It will remain as one my prized possessions among the family photographs.

This is my best friend's daughter. I was there when she was born, and she is so incredibly special to me. I took this photo over the summer at our cabin in Northern Michigan. It embodies everything about her so perfectly: her personality, her innocence, her unique wisdom for someone her age. She is amazing.

This is New Orleans on any given Sunday when 2nd Line Clubs proudly dance through the streets of their neighborhood. The band is the heartbeat of the city. If you look in between the musicians you will see a few faces trailing. Their are thousands following the band. It is New Orleans

I took this on a whim — my oldest daughter running down a dusty country road this past summer.
This is one of the first photos that I actually printed, framed AND put up on my wall.

Styling together for beach day! 

I loved the expression on this toddler's face as he explored the gourd's texture. To a 10-month-old, the "first" harvest is always exciting. The picture was taken on a farm in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.

At a friend's bar-b-q party, her dog got a little out of hand. I noticed her explaining the rules of etiquette to Buddy and snapped this picture.

With my youngest son graduating high school this year we decided to take a possible last family vacation all together. This sunset was from our first night in Puerto Rico.

This was taken of my daughter the afternoon after Hurricane Dorian brushed the Florida coastline. We live on the Indian River and wanted to get outside after being inside for several hours. The sunset was gorgeous and on the other side of us was a rainbow. 

These are my three granddaughters. I love the look on my youngest granddaughters' face, it brings life to this photo!

I was taking pictures for a friend at a Pee Wee Football game in Petal, MS. For me, this photo shows how young boys take challenges that will one day make them men.

Last spring I took a chance at growing some sunflowers. I am not much of a gardener, however they actually grew...like crazy! This is my daughter with one of our home grown sunflowers.

Staying at an RV park in New Mexico, I sat and watched this grandmother blowing bubbles with her grandchildren visiting her trailer... they were there a long time... it was a precious moment.

We were on a train from Oklahoma to Texas, she is always looking for the next great photo.

Biking with the birds, witnessing the sunrise magic along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean in Ormond Beach, Florida.

My son Ethan plays cello for his 7th-grade orchestra. He was practicing outside on a beautiful fall day. We got a few looks from people driving by but that's okay. It's all in the name of art :)

After years of different sports, this was my son's first soccer game playing for a traveling, year-round team. Of all the sports he has played, this is his passion. We live in Evans, GA and the game was played in Columbia, SC.

very special: a warm summer day in autumn

My girl having fun on the ground with all the leaves. This was taken last fall.

My daughter, Evie, contemplates the moon. She has decided that she will be in charge of Mission Control some day. Her giant polar bear is used to this kind of nocturnal behavior.

My sweet lovely Paree's birthday!

A happy family during the great day of mam and dad. 

Trip to New York to see Sistas!

The Fall AYSO soccer season is cold and damp, but the game must go on. Thankfully the uniforms are bright, but they could have used neon colored ball.
Soccer is huge here in Palos Verdes, CA. It brings the community together as it is entirely a volunteer based association, and the camaraderie is great. Parents who are involved are wonderful role models for today's youth.

the colors are so vibrant from the leaf to my grandsons red hair and of course his misschievious grin

This picture was taken in Autumn at my son's wedding. They started dating in during Autumn and married in Autumn. It's Autumn Love!

We went to the pumpkin patch in search for the perfect pumpkin. And Bayne found it!

Family is everything, memories are priceless.. this sweet boy ( wearing his grandfathers riding clothes) is blessed with an Angel watching over him.  This photo turned into a priceless moment, a lasting memory. 

My granddaughter kissing her horse Doc goodbye. Payton was leaving for college.

Having fun with my son at the Walibi amusement park, Wavre, Belgium

Skateboarding with friends 

My grandson blocking to make a hole for his best friend to run through.

This is a picture that my sister took of me while i was hanging out with a monkey on my first cruise i took in Roaton Island. 

Its exciting to lose a tooth. But it’s even more exciting to lose the same tooth as your cousin on the same day! 

A day on the beach with my son.

This is a picture of my daughter. She loves apples and found one under our apple tree. She was so excited she had to give it a kiss.

This picture was taken on a summer kayak trip with my dog, Charlie. We were kayaking in the Fort Pierce Inlet, Florida.

Taken on a stormy fall day on Lake Tahoe. Conditions and colors quickly change with the weather which offers much beauty to capture.

One of the first pictures taken with my new camera! I captured a great expression on my son's face. I love the colors of the leaves and his eyes!

This picture was taken of my niece Mackenzie and nephew Justin at a family birthday celebration last year on a beautiful fall day. One of my favorites of the two of them because it shows how close they are. You always hope that they will stay this close and that you get the same kind of picture as they grow older.

it's the first photoshoot i've ever done of one of my best friends and his motorcycle. I took this picture in late fall.

This is my son when he was nine years old after a Dunkirk Warriors 65lb football game. We played on a Wednesday night in October at Dunkirk Park, Calvert County, Maryland and the fog started rolling in after halftime. By the end of the game, it was hard to see the team on the opposite sideline! I captioned this picture, "Wednesday Night Lights".

My friend holding his daughter as they watch hot air balloons launch at White Sands National Monument, NM, as part of the 2019 Alamogordo Hot Air Balloon Festival.

Taken on a Canon AE-1, 50mm/1.8, on Kodak Ultramax 400 Film.

It is cute. My house a short time ago. Two vary different dogs getting along.

fall at the farm

Cool and foggy fall morning in the back country in Algonquin park, Ontario. We kayaked and portaged over few hills, lots of beaver dams and even rolled the kayak with all the camera gear. The next morning, sun was just coming up and the solo canoe went by our campsite. It was so nice to be at the right place and at the right time.

Eat more chicken.. this as so much fun.. they were equally curious about each other.

I shot this at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta as people were viewing the large tank that includes thousands of fish such as Giant Grouper and Whale Sharks.

I took this photo over the summer of my friend Melanie. 

Me and my daughter having a Kodak moment at my cousins wedding. Every moment Is a Kodak moment with my princess. 

Celebrating Tommy’s first Birthday!

My little one hanging out with the pumpkins.

Five friends decided to fly to the USA to take a road trip from Roswell to Area 51 to celebrate a 40th birthday, and stopped off at the Grand Canyon before sunset. This just shows how insignificant we really are when compared to nature.
