Grain and Shadows

I've been taking a lot of random pictures lately.  It's been a while since I've brought the camera out, I'll admit.  It was a lot easier when I wasn't working so much.

Jovie is also getting so, so big and I'm still trying to get AT LEAST one picture each month.  I can say...for month 20...I pretty much outdid myself.  They certainly aren't my best pictures.  They aren't posed...or ones that I've said..."Hey!  Let's do this photo shoot!"  Even if I wanted to do a 'shoot' I just can't...Jovie is such a toddler!  There's no sitting still for anything.

While there's some blur and lots of grain (still learning how to embrace grain/low light...not happening though)...I'm enjoying that her pictures are telling more of a story - instead of just plopping her on a suitcase.  I still love doing that, though, and CAN'T WAIT for the sun to start shining again.

Anyway...Enjoy.  Plenty of grain and shadows to go around.
