I visited upstate New York in early June and found some great places...this place being one of them. More to come!
If I had a flower every time I think of you, I would walk in my garden forever...
I love you mum! Get well soon! ♥

So a while back when I attented a photography workshop on building and branding your business...it was recommended that you use your "name" as your business...so I have been debating and thinking about it...messing around a little with what kind of branding I really want to use...I have come up so far with this watermark...whadda ya think??? I just don't know if I truly know what I want and what my brand/style is exactly yet...but I figure I should probably decide sooner than later...
Change from "Capture Life Photography" to my name "Rachel Plowman Photography"?
Opinions, suggestions??
Thanks!

I'm blown away by the amount of homework Chloe has to do even though she's only in 1st grade.
She takes it all in stride though, and I'm happy to say she's already developing good study habits.
I'm also happy to see how much patience Chris has with her.
Chloe's thinking hard here as her father helps her talk through a word problem.

... I remember Soviet union.
My homeland, Latvia was occupied by Soviet army in June 17, 1940. Local people - thousands and thousands were sent to Siberia in livestock wagons as state enemies where died of cold, starve or slavery-like hard work... (They who returned, never had a chance to get a higher education, to get their life back...)Soviet government had plans of russification and reeducation local people as Soviet patriots... Latvia was flooded with Russian migrants - militarists and proletariat who were not going to learn Latvian language (and their posterity still are not going to do it - they still aren’t lojal and do not respect our culture, instead of it they clamour about violation of their human rights and demand Russian language to be second official language!!!). Even little children were forced to go in all those official demostrations with soviet flags and placards with faces of communist party leaders and to shout "hurrah!" and all those idiotic Soviet slogans... I remember it with every cell of my body... Any mention of free Latvia, November 18 or red-white-red flag could end in cellars of KGB or camps of GULAG... National patriots were called imperialistic agents, bourgeois nacionalists and state betrayers and punished...
And all those more than 50 years our people behind the iron curtain hoped and waited for support of the democratic world... vain hopes... Only in secrecy listening for Voice of America and RadioFreeEurope we heard about in exile living Latvian people efforts to pay attention to situation in Latvia - genocide against Latvian nation and the fact that Latvia is not voluntarily joined to Soviet Union but been occupied by force and monstrous lie. USSR had never admitted the fact of occupation... till nowadays... they still hold a view that we are a part of Russia, just as during Russian Empire when tzar Peter I made Latvia as his „window to Europe”!
Doesn't it remind you, people of free world, of something? Something going on in Tibet now? When I think about Tibet, everything rose up. When I watched a documentary about Tibet, "Cry of the Snow Lion", especially those Chinese official chronicles about happy smiling Tibetan people welcoming the Chinese army saving them from slavery etc, I recognised it all - the same methods - whopping lie, demagogy, chauvinism... all the same... that's the way Russian and Chinese communist authorities act... no matter, in Chechnya or Tibet... the difference is just in mentality of the victims, the way how they see the possibility to get their freedom...
Just 15 years ago due to economical and political collapse of USSR our country resumed independency after 52 long years under occupacion regime of Soviet Union. We should be in first lines to support every occupied nation’s desire for freedom and independency... but we seems forgot everything... forgot how it is - to hope for support and not get it! I am envious about Estonian president who has announced his views already! Our governament is a crowd of self-satisfied cowards, waiting what other world will say and do... and in the end will do as Russia will... „we are for united China”... Miserably...
I’ll try to translate quote from Polish author Bruno Jasensky:
„Don’t be afraid of enemies – the worst they can do, is to kill you. Don’t be afraid of friends – the worst they can do, is to betray you. Be afraid of indifferents. Because the world’s most terrifying crimes are implemented with silent support of all them.”
Let’s not be indifferent!
And big thanks to everyone who read it to the last line! :)

So far I had been doing a lot of white backgrounds straight-on frontals with flawless lighting...
Today I wanted to try something different, so here it is. XD
