You Capture - Top 10 of 2010

My top 10 pictures of 2010

(in no particular order)

Of course, ones of Westin and I made the cut:

You can play, too!  I Should Be Folding Laundry

A Learning Process...

I took this photo of Westin on my snow day about a week and a half ago.

We'd decided to venture out and wound up at Best Buy in Strongsville.

Apparently they're the only Best Buy in the state of Ohio to have a Musical Instrument Department.

It was really cool!!

I decided to play around with the photo-editing program (paint.net) I downloaded a few weeks ago...

and am still very intimidated by.

Here's what I came up with:

Cropped and sharpened.

Sepia.

Ink sketched.

I think that one's my favorite.

After showing Westin my handiwork he looked closer at the original picture

and asked me what camera I used to take the picture.

"My point and shoot," I told him... what other camera do I have?

(Oh yeah, cell phone...)

His response?

"My cell phone takes better pictures than that!"

I think he's finally agreed that I need a nicer camera!

You Capture - Your Winter

Winter = SNOW DAY!!

A peek out the windows...

A trip to Best Buy...

An old favorite for lunch...

I think snow days are more fun as a teacher!
