Light + Ghosts: Adventures in Pinhole (From the My Indie Charlotte Archives)

Instead of doing the easy thing of importing my old blog over here, or at least just leaving my archives up at My Indie Charlotte, I deleted everything and imported nothing. I really did want to start fresh, but I'm still fond of some of the old MIC photosets. So I'm adding my favorite memories slowly over here, and organizing them in a way that works for this blog. 

This photoset is from 2011 (look at the wee beb!). I poked a hole in a small piece of construction paper, rubber-banded it over my lense and over the course of two days went on a little pinhole adventure around the house. I think I'll do that again soon, faux-trippiness is fun.

Five Photographs By My Kid

AG, age 3.5 is always up in my business. So if she sees me with camera in hand, she always requests to take a couple pictures too. Today I let her take over just to see her little person perspective on things. I'm impressed at the shot she got of the mini-pond in the backyard! I let her edit them after as well--with my help of course, because I was trying to avoid her finding out about the world of photo stickers.

Sunday Treasures: The Wildflower Garden

We bought a bag of wildflower seed, laid out an area in the backyard for it, and let 'er rip. I don't have a green thumb--vegetables never survive on my watch, and I can't get potted plants to last more than a season--so this was the easiest thing we could think of to add a little color to our backyard. They're continuing to bloom and every day I'm noticing more and more new friends. I don't know when they'll stop growing, or if they'll come back in the Spring (will they??), but the ease and beauty of all this definitely makes me want to buy another bag of seed and extend the garden out next year!
