take THAT! H1N1...

Ever seat your little one in a shopping cart, only to find her sucking on the cart handle? Yuck! I saw a lady with an adorable baby girl in a cart with one of these surrounding her. These Itzy Ritzy shopping cart/high chair covers are germ-repellers and tremendously stylish. Check them out at http://www.itzyritzy.com/product.php?id=275

neoteny, it's a childhood thing...

Came across this writing by Joichi Ito

"When we are young, we learn, we socialize, we
play, we experiment, we are curious, we feel
wonder, we feel joy, we change, we grow, we
imagine, we hope.

In adulthood, we are serious, we produce, we focus,
we fight, we protect and we believe in things
strongly.

The future of the planet is becoming less about
being efficient, producing more stuff and
protecting our turf and more about working
together, embracing change and being creative."

Amen.

Learn something new every day...

I just discovered this blog out of the UK. It is so bright and I find it very inspiring somehow. I love the fact that it is interactive.

What did you learn today?

more of darling Little C...

"There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world."

From the brochure of NILMDTS (Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep), "a non-profit volunteer organization that assists families suffering an early infant loss with the gift of free professional portraiture."

This is something that I would love to contribute to, if only I could conceivably see myself not weeping the entire shoot. I would love to hear from any photographers who are currently volunteering for, or who have volunteered for this organization.

over the long weekend...

Good times were had in Summerland! Many thanks H!

all is well in the world...

Just look at the love that is being reflected in Little C's eyes.

His Momma loves him. That is for sure. And all is well in the world.

This is why I am a portrait photographer.

Big smiles,

Kerith
