I think I rely more on video during those moments. <br /><br />I also feel like you can't truly be in the moment when you are the photographer. I have to make myself leave my camera behind sometimes just so I don't hide behind the lens so much and can truly play and interact with people.AnnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629045924136272980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817728686717244104.post-50831278236772758852010-01-08T16:37:02.104-08:002010-01-08T16:37:02.104-08:00I know EXACTLY what you mean (although I think the...I know EXACTLY what you mean (although I think these may only be mediocre in your world -- there are some very good pictures here), I can't seem to pull it together for the big occasions -- I'm much better at capturing the mundanity of life.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689238640477884004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817728686717244104.post-27628331502840415262010-01-08T16:04:36.026-08:002010-01-08T16:04:36.026-08:00What are you talking about, your pictures are wond...What are you talking about, your pictures are wonderful!<br />It is funny how the photos from chaotic Christmas morning don't turn out as well as other times.<br />But unlike you I took 500 pics between all the parties and Grandparents that we went to.

I think it's fine though. It's better to have taken part in it than captured it behind the lens. :) And I think your pictures are great.

I am embarassed to call myself a photographer and then post my lame snapshots, but at the same time I have vowed not to let this stop me from documenting our activities. In the end these are usually the pics my girls love to look at because they capture a memory.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980891865079193878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817728686717244104.post-15096070759545559472010-01-07T17:21:40.061-08:002010-01-07T17:21:40.061-08:00Wow, sounds like we had just about the same Christ...Wow, sounds like we had just about the same Christmas Eve - Becca woke up right at 2:30 am throwing up too. Thankfully nobody else has gotten sick, so I have no idea what was going on with her.<br /><br />I never even try to take decent photos on holidays either - yours are really good though! I have a hard time in the winter anyway since I have no idea how to deal with the flash on my good camera.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806252705199445407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817728686717244104.post-18982302436241032712010-01-07T16:44:47.607-08:002010-01-07T16:44:47.607-08:00LOL I'm cracking up at the husband being more ...LOL I'm cracking up at the husband being more immature than the four year old! So true in my house too.. sigh. Silly girl... aren't some of your most favorite pictures of your childhood just regular old snapshots?? Because they take you back.. not because of their quality. When Sugar looks at these she won't think "Wow mom was really sucky that day" She is going to remember what a wonderful time her mom made Christmas for her. :)Autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510723750496873429noreply@blogger.com
