point & shoot: Happy Birthday, Grandma

about this project...

This whole thing started when I decided to do a 365 project in January of 2011 (one photo a day for a year). But then my camera broke. And that's kind of funny because it had finally occurred to me that you can't plan life. So I stopped seeking out photos to take and started living a little more. And I got back into volleyball, and I planned a trip to Tuscany and I took an Italian class. And I reconnected with old friends, made some new ones, jumped out of a plane, decided to play softball for the summer and discovered that I like to drink tequila and, hell, I even moved into Manhattan! And then the time was right so I bought a NEW camera to take some new photos with, and I'll share them with you here. So, welcome to my non-project. Or, as I like to call it, life.

Happy Birthday, Grandma

So we celebrated my Grandma's 91st birthday up in CT this afternoon. She's still a couple of weeks out from the actual day, so this was more like a pre-party, or a rehearsal 91st birthday. A great day of visiting with the family... trash-talking rounds of cornhole and competitive bocce. My grandma sure knows how to party.

I typically don't like photographing people, because they move around, talk back, and generally aren't patient with me when I point a camera in their face. Except little people. They ham it up all day. Thanks Avery & Ray! Plus, shooting on hot sunny days is tough for me... still figuring out this haze with the new camera!
