Entry: Bragging Rights ... Wednesday, November 14, 2007



I've been telling my daughter for years that she should do something with her photography.

She "sees" something and actually manages to catch it on film (or, these days, on digital-whatever-it's-called), unlike so many of us who "see" something but fail to see what's in the background or slipping in on the right side of the screen or something else.

For the past several months, she has finally put her talent to work.  After posting numerous photos on Fliker, several of her photos have been given awards and she was recently asked to become the photographer for her daughters' school. 

This week, she was contacted by a large bottled water corporation requesting permission to use one of her photos in an advertising spot (no bottles of water were used in the photo however, it just happens to be Sasha's favorite drink ... and has been since she was a toddler).

As "The Mom", I figure I have bragging rights and decided to share what I consider some pretty incredible talent.

Not to mention there are some really great pictures of my granddaughters posted. 

And we all know that grandmothers definitely have bragging rights!

She's great ... and the two girls with the candles..is perfect as it is. Candles give things a soft look, not sharp so to me, and especially with the dark background, she's made it clear what the candle is, while making the girls' faces the most important part of the image. I adore that picture just the way it is.

Yeah.. you deserve to brag. Keep bragging away!

Absolutely wonderful pics!!! It inspires me to pull out my camera again! I used to LOVE photography. Well, I still do, I just don't do it as often as I used to.

She's definitely an inspiration! You have good reason to brag!
