strollers and photos

There�s not too terribly much going on around here these days aside from baby-related activities. The weather has finally been cooler than 95 degrees with 100% humidity so we�ve actually been able to take Max outta the house for walks, shopping trips, and visits. When we�re out and about it�s still easiest to snap his infant car seat (which, sadly, we�re almost done with) into the frame-only stroller, but when we go for walks from home he totally rides in style. Max is the proud owner of what I like to call �The Hummer of strollers� - a Bugaboo Cameleon. This thing is so fucking awesome that I can�t even tell you - it�s the smoothest ride ever and I swear to you I could run over other peoples� children and not even notice so it really is like Hummer or other large SUV :-P Two days ago I thought I�d try going �off road� for the first time and I flew straight up a steep grass covered hill as though I were on brand new ultra-level blacktop - GENIOUS! In other news, I took Max�s 6-month photos the other day. I couldn�t stomach the thought of going to JC Penny, Sears, Target, etc. because I know the �photographers� are just random people hired off the street and given that title. I also hate how EVERY baby has the same photos - same poses, same props, same backgrounds :YAWN: I did contemplate taking him to a real photography studio but, for now at least, it�s still too hard to plan ahead as to when his most awake and most happy times of day will be so I couldn�t justify the expense. I guess what �they� say is true, if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself...so I did. I took about 100 photos and ended up with 12-14 really nice ones and another 30 or so really good ones. I�m still in the process of fixing things up in Photoshop, but I�ll post a couple of samples here just for fun...enjoy...
And a drooly one just for fun :-) |
