Welcome to the world, Baby Hope

Hope was born on March 21, 2011 at home with her parents.  They live in my community of Point of Rocks, Maryland. I visited with them on Sunday to commemorate her on her first seven days in the world.  She wanted her mother for her milk and her father for his cuddles.  They say babies don't smile out of happiness at such a young age, but each time she turned towards her father her eyes smiled.

It's in the Eyes

I took this photo to practice working with MCP's mini fusion actions.  Her eyes are so pretty.  I can't wait to print it!

Oscar Night with the Stars

I took my friend Melody to see one of my favorite musicians, Garrison Starr.  Melody and I have bonded over photography so we brought our cameras.    Now we have something else in common; getting out to hear live music.  Garrison and Natalia handed out prizes for spending Oscar night with them, while Jay presented The Oscar News fresh from his laptop in real time.  Yeah, you should have come!

Some of my favorite photos of the evening.

Practicing on stage.  This was the only the second time all these musicians had played together.  It is amazing that they can play along even if they had never heard the song before.
