Friday evening. The rain is gone. It's warm outside?!

We went down to Third Beach in Stanley Park.

Played soccer, volley ball and football.

Ate snacks. Played cards. Walked along the water's edge.

Made some friends. Wrestled. Dug in the sand.

We were busy relaxing. :)

The Gentlest Soul I Know. This is my oldest son, #Sammy . He's been making me his personal #mixcds for 5 years. I haven't gotten one for over a year now, and he surprised me with two this evening. #sam #son #love #life #music #spin #tunes #mysonsam #iphoneographer #iphoneonly

mikki3: Awww! I love that!!! What's your secret? My teenage daughter doesn't like me :(

 

mudsock: @mikki3 Awww, give it time. Don't push it and let it happen. It will. Sammy much favors his mom over dad. I love him for who he is and he is amazing. Your daughter loves you; it's just not cool for you to know that she does. :)

 

mikki3: @mudsock I'm such a sap... Just reading what you wrote made me all weepy. She tells me she loves me but just doesn't like me most of the time. Uuugh! I'm just sad because she will be graduating high school next year... And then she'll be off to college. I want at least 1 good year before she's gone. We'll see...

  

Happy 18th Birthday today to my amazing son, Sammy! #happybirthday #im18 #imeighteen #eighteen #18thbirthday #imanadultnow #love #life #happiness #birthday

mikki3: This made me teary... Ugh! I'm so, I mean TOO sentimental!

 

mudsock: @mikki3 I completely understand. Just turned 18, graduates in a few weeks and starts college in August. :(

 

mikki3: I have one that's already left the nest (6 years ago, I still struggle) and I have one that will be a senior next year... I'm already finding myself being a little clingy... I don't do so well with separation! Lol I can't wait til Sunday... I will have them all together! Ugh! I got all weepy just typing this!!!! I'm such a SAP!

 

mudsock: @mikki3 I'm equally a sap in regards to that. Yes, and 18 year old, 9 & 6 year old step-sons and 10-month old Jack ;)

  

The packing list. #Mysonsam leaves for #gulfshores today with 5 other friends for #Springbreak . I'm not naive, and I trust my son. He has to live his life and make his own experiences. And I can only #love him. :)

mudsock: @amymaier I'm almost embarrassed to admit the number of apps I used to edit this shot...4 different apps.

 

amymaier: Don't worry. I won't tell anyone haha! Seriously, it's a great pic and who cares how many apps.

 

mikki3: No way!! 4 apps? It's an EXCELLENT photo! Which ones did you use?

 

mudsock: @amymaier @mikki3 I used two different shots that I took using Hipstamatic (Helga Viking Lens & Ina's 1935 film; no flash). I edited each in Camera+ (respectively) using b&w but coming back off of the b&w to give it some dark color coming thru. I combined the pics using Photo Wizard but keeping the overlap a smidgen off-complete center to give a more unfocused feel and look to it. Took it to Tadaa to utilize their tilt-shift (I like Tadaa's tilt-shift better than even some of the more pro-editing apps tilt-shift). Then uploaded to IG utilizing Earlybird. :)

 

mikki3: Thanks for sharing!! You put a lot of love into that photo! I hope you print that one out!

 

mudsock: @amymaier I know what you mean as far as overwhelming. A lot of mobile photogs like and use Snapseed a lot. I have it too but really prefer the feel of some of the other apps similar techniques and how they work for my tastes better. I don't have a particular style myself yet, and like you, still am experimenting. I do find myself liking simplicity more and more, and that's why I generally end up shooting and uploading directly from Hipstamatic more and more; trying to utilize the photos shot as-is.

 

amymaier: It's fun trying to figure out your point of view and style, huh?! I think it's interesting that you aren't sure what your style is, but I can definitely see it. It's just easier to see it in other people :)

benpalmerphotography: I would have instinctually stuck him in the right side of the frame, @mudsock, but given the subject/activity I think you made a much stronger image by composing it they way you chose. Well done.

 

mudsock: @benpalmerphotography Thank you so much! I appreciate your constructive words and advice! I admire your work and consider it an honor that you took the time to glance at mine, Ben :)

 

benpalmerphotography: @mudsock , don't sell yourself short. I don't 'gram out of boredom and I get the sense you don't either. As such I think we do well to engage the work thoughtfully. I think doing benefits both the creator and viewer.

 

benpalmerphotography: And thanks for the kind words @mudsock :)

Father's Day Weekend | Chicago, IL. | June 16, 2012. This my oldest son, Sammy. Besides being baseball fans, I've learned more recently (like this weekend) of his eye, inner drive and glowing passion for photography. He loves architectural landscapes. And Saturday alone, we probably trekked 6 to 8 miles as we shimmied around the great Windy City, gasping and commenting at every city block full of anything waiting to be photographed. And we did. So, Happy Father's Day to me. I am Blessed. #chicago #bw #bnw #bwonly #bwphotos #blacknwhite #blackandwhite #mobilephotograhy

mudsock: This is a favorite photo of my son Sammy and I together taken on Father's Day in Chicago this year. Sammy moves into college as a freshman today, and as much as I am immensely proud, my heart is also sad as I see my son grow up to be an amazing young man on his journey of beginning his life and his life choices. I love him so much.

 

amymaier: Hang in there, Dad.

 

kathydoherty: Great shot! Such a proud Dad & best of luck to Sammy

July 26th, 2012 | #MySonSam says there is just something so special about this place, referring to the Gateway Arch, and probably St. Louis itself. He's absolutely right. I've enjoyed 2 days of Cardinals baseball with my amazing son, and I love this young man. #bw #bnw #blacknwhite #blackandwhite #wearejuxt #mobilephotog #stlouis #gatewayarch #life #love

amymaier: It looks like you've had a great summer. Chicago, St. Louis, etc. Is Sam going to college?

 

mudsock: @maria_takesashot Thank you!

 

mudsock: @amymaier Yes, a great summer indeed! Sam will be attending Ball State University in less than a month studying sociology. Wow...children grow up too quick, too soon :(

 

amymaier: I know! My baby starts kindergarten in a few weeks, which is nothing compared to college, but it feels too fast nonetheless. At least he'll be in the same state still :)

Brothers. The @starrush360 edit. I've been blessed a few times to have some of my favorite photographers edit a photo that I've shot myself. Several months ago, I shot this photo of my oldest #mysonSam and #justJack . I cherish how I can almost feel Sammy's love for his little brother, Jack, and I needed the perfect edit for this shot. The first person that came to mind is my biggest inspiration in mobilephotography, both in visual as well as her work in the field, Star Rush of Oregon. Her black & white contributions all seem to have a story about them waiting to speak to each of us. It was important for this photo that I would get the honor of her honing and editing skills. And she obliged. Star, thank you for your willingness and time in taking to edit my photo. And to tho everyone else, I invite them to check out Star's work on IG at @starrush360 .
