Earlier that morning, before the attacks, on the other side of the world, an approximately 9 day old baby girl was found where she had been abandoned outside of the gates of an orphanage in China; she joined our family the following summer.
Haddonfield, New Jersey, USA - Sunday March 9, 2008: The Catholic-Jewish-Muslim Dialogue of Southern New Jersey held its second annual "Breaking Bread Together" Workshop at Christ the King Roman Catholic Church in Haddonfield. More than 100 members of the Catholic, Muslim, and Jewish communities participated in workshops about the way each religion understands God, and then broke bread with a multiethnic buffet reception. Some of the organizers waited for their turn to make comments at the start of the program. From left: Father Joseph D. Wallace, pastor of Christ the King Church; Zia Rahman, managing director of the South Jersey Muslim American Community Association; Rabbi Lewis Eron, Jewish Community Chaplain, and Zahida Rahman, a member of the dialogue group.

Amélie was 9 yesterday!
She was my 3rd Blythe, & the Blythe I took with me to my first Blythe meet (in Nottingham on October the 4th 2002). She's special.
[looks better in the lightbox - type "L" on your keyboard]
the instructor we worked with during training said Augie had the best play bow she'd ever seen. even so, she's still got "the eye". especially when I have Ducky as my P.A.
this shot is more in the direction I wanted to go last time, with more of a dark background and some selective light; and I took a bit more time with this week, having just gotten a new toy critical piece of photographic equipment: a 10 meter ETTL extension cord, for those times when I just want to have more control over the flash at a distance.
Augie was pretty good about it, too, as my dark fleece blanket backdrop is fairly narrow, and so she's posed on one of our chairs. we used Ducky to try some action/catch shots, but I couldn't move back far enough with my 35mm lens, and then she kept going into her bow between tosses, so I focused more on that.
technicals:
I put a snoot on the (Canon 430EX) flash and mounted it overhead angled towards Augie's head, and used the ETTL flash metering, which worked well to keep the background dark and not blow a huge flood of light over everything. I like the lines I got out of this lighting and pose, and the catchlights from the windows that showed up despite the flash and the high shutter speed (1/640).
i made a may day flower crown today. im going to dress like mother earth for work on saturday. its earth day week at trader joes!
Confession: One time when I was little, I got my mouth washed out with soap. To this day, every time I look at that brand, I can taste it.
week nine out of fifty-two weeks.

Candid shot of Olivia. Her and Lauren came over today and we had lots of fun.
We went to the Loggerhead Marine Life Center in Juno and we fell in love with this one turtle that we took a bunch of pictures of.
Melba is the most adorable turtle ever, just saying.
Anyway we were just taking pictures around my neighborhood when I got this candid of Olivia and I just love it :-)
