KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Simplicity is real beauty

MastHERpiece a Durham, NC based nonprofit is honored to award 3 scholarships to the class of 2022. These ladies are headed to UNC-Charlotte and NCCU this Fall. 

Last Fourth of July weekend, my husband James (photographed here) and I brought our dog Khloe to my sister’s home where she was introduced to our niece’s puppy, Dolly (also, both photographed here). My husband was acting as an ambassador between the pups and our niece couldn’t have been more delighted by this union! 

*I wrote a meaningful paragraph to go with this, but decided that it would be better to just have the pictures, and the pictures alone to show you instead of me telling you what is already there, and what has changed.

Capturing the beauty in the chaos of parenting.

First day of 3rd grade 

The moment here is a special one taken during a picnic surprise my husband planned for me on my birthday. It’s a special moment to be because it highlights our love which is always filled with happiness and laughter 💚

Nothing beats a day of summer by the pool with family and friends. 

Good friends lift each other up! Neil and I met through tiktok at the start of 2021 and quickly became close friends. Early this year, he asked me to be a groomsman in his wedding. Last weekend we met in person for the first time. I flew from Georgia, he flew from Canada, and we met in California to get him hitched. This was the thank you picture we promised to all the friends who contributed to the cost of my plane ticket.

Take time to explore, and sometimes the smallest step in a different direction can be best step you ever take.

Friends catching up after 20 years and some after 15 years.. but feels the same! 

Today is always such a special day for me. It is the day that I became a Mrs. for the first and only time and became Mommy for the last and final time. I am so grateful for the both of you because you make me better in different ways and I would not be the total badass woman that I am now without you. I love you.  Happy anniversary my love and Happy birthday son♥️

Rain affected sunflower gamers in Cambooya QLD, were unable to harvest their crop as the flowers couldn’t be dried sufficiently for safe seed storage. Instead they had a day where you could come and take some photos with the sunflowers and cut some to take home. I love sunflowers and 35mm film, so wouldn’t have missed it.

My daughter’s first time at the river.

Nice summer evening hearing the crickets and having a nice fire on our deck. Boys were loving their s’mores!

There’s nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate

It was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and my 15 year old daughter said “Mom let’s go walk on the path thru all those yellow flowers…” I grabbed my camera and out the door we went! It was a spontaneous walk turned into mini photo shoot with such fun pictures and memories for the two of us..captured forever and I’m so grateful for this perfect Kodak moment on a Saturday afternoon!

This photo was made during my trip to Vienna. The spot on photo is a place right behind the Vienna opera theater, i find it most beautiful spot with the great views all aroud. 
I was lucky to capture that moment with this lovely couple, coincidentally wearing closes same color with that the opera roof has. Looks it’s a favorite spot for them as well :)

The Day my husband and I got married on November 12th, 2020. We had been engaged for 3 and a 1/2 years and right when we were about to have our destination wedding, the pandemic happened. I replanned our whole wedding in 2 months in our hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. We've been together since we were 18 and 19. Today is his 30th bday!

Pointe is not for the faint of heart, but I captured just the right moment of her arabesque as daylight faded away.

Very first vacation with my love!

My husband and I were all dressed up for a Gala, for a Real Estate company I work for Living Vogue in FL. He is always making me laugh, true jokester my husband is. Definitely captured a Kodak Moment here.

Island hopping in Hurghada, Egypt! Snapped a photo of my friend napping on the deck. 

This photo captures my wife and I on our Honeymoon. We were sailing in the coast of northern Italy.

Close your eyes and breath! 

Stubborn souls, we woke early and walked like mad to arrive in time for the heat of the day, frizzling in the meadow grass like sausages when shade was only a mile or two away. The backs of my hands burnt red and my skin bathed in a medley of sweat and sunscreen, nature's lotion. There's an argument to be made that we should have pressed on, savings ourselves from the intolerant heat, but you can't simply abandon a view like this. And so, we stayed the night.

This is Dantai Edwards, a vibrant, energetic and enthusiastic young model.

Here he is 'Jumping for Joy' in the colourful, artistic urban area of inner city Birmingham, UK.

Dantai is experienced, professional and he is always excited about his next big opportunity.

Well done Dantai 

Be outstanding and stand out 

When I say this cat is always with us, he’s literally ALWAYS with us, especially me. He drives me crazy, he’s excessively needy, wants to be on my lap constantly...he’s like another child...more like a dog than a cat, my lap cat, my baby before babies and even though I constantly push him away when I’m done being touched for the day, he always came back...he was always with me...except for when he’s not, and that absence is heavier than I could have imagined. He went outside last weekend and never returned home...our Albert, always with us 💔

C’était une petite balade tranquille au bord de la mère . 

2022 was the first time I went to K-Days in over a decade. It was not as cool and grand as I remember it being when I was a child. 

Me and my fiancé live in Stone Mountain, GA. We are young and athletic and don’t always have time to hit the gym. So we do 20 minute circuits of HIIT and mild calisthenics, but we also climb Stone Mountain 4 to 5 days a week…if not everyday. 
 

On this day, Monday, September 12, 2022, he and I took this picture after we reached the top. We are both recording, visual and performing artist who also enjoy capturing moments with each other out in nature.

My girlfriend and I went on a trip to Paros, Greece. We really enjoyed its weather, its secluded beaches, nature’s sounds and tranquility.

I brought my beloved canon F1 with me and this is what I got from a roll of Kodak Portra 400.

My best friend asked me to take a photo of him and his girlfriend riding a scooter during our vacation in Mallorca.We were really high in mountains on our way to the beach when we discovered this beautiful serpentines. At that time I had ran out of my Kodak Portra 160, so he gave me his camera with Kodak Colorplus and I took two shots. The first shot was taken exactly like he wanted it to be -  I stood on the road which they were crossing and took the shot. It wasn't bad, but I feel like it didn't capture the whole beautiful scene, so I climbed on a rock near the road, composed my shot, pressed the shutter and this is the second and final photo. 

While shooting a senior photo session with Ethan and his mom, a momma deer and her two babies suddenly appeared!  No fear of humans and we were able to snap this wonderful #kodakmoment of the fawn who really wanted her picture taken! A memorable moment and so glad I got it “on film”! 

Me and Bean

This #KodakMoment made the hour long wait in 85 degrees with a five year old worth it. She was awestruck meeting both Cinderella and Ariel, but getting to actually *hug* Cinderella was icing on the cake!

An escape from the mundane chores of life, work and academia. A brisk Sunday at an artisan market, spent figuring out the art that is rollerblading — and in the best company, too!
Boogie Wonderland, Let’s Groove, Dancing Queen — soundtrack of the day.

Fall is my favorite time of year. So, my daughters and I went to Target to get new fall outfits!! The girls love wearing their boots and we just put our patio in with their new chairs and they let me take a cute picture of them! 

This picture was taken on a beach trip with 3 of my closest friends. The caption is about a crazy cocktail made by my friend, including the foods we ate with it. It was a scenic night on the coastline and we couldn’t resist taking a few pictures. This picture was probably the best of them! 

Keep the light inside your home, keep the light inside your heart

I have been dating this beautiful woman for a few weeks now, we took my dog Hana for a day out and the day continually got better. 

   To start it was a hike, getting lost in the woods with her and the natural conversation was progressively having me unravel like a roll of wrapping paper. 

  Then her appreciation for nature and quality time together which speaks volumes in my heart. If we don't know our best friend how can we appreciate their one of a kind character.

  Third, it's so nice to soon have this memory on my bedside table. I am so happy, it's been so long since I've been able to share this happiness with someone special. 

Thank you Kodak for being around in my childhood that truly taught me the value of a physical photo ❤️

   Sincerely,

  Jeffrey Seiji Darwin 

This was the heat wave in Northern California. It was over one hundred degrees so we could not take the dogs outside! They were very annoyed and bored! 

Ali is a toddler who is always on a happy mood. She loves to play, dance and especially eat 💕 She loves to cuddle and her favourite is blowing kisses. Papa, Lala, Nanay, Tatay, Mommy and Daddy love her so much. She is truly a blessing from Above.
