Sometimes It's Not The Size That Matters...

Surprisingly taken with my wife's Motorola W385 camera phone. Yes that's right...a camera phone. 1 megapixel, no flash, limited focus camera phone. Everything about this camera evokes memories of the first camera I learned to shoot with...my mom's Kodak 110mm. Remember those horrible things? The terrible focus and coloring. Pictures that developed and had this weird purple/blue hue to it? But there's definitely something about the subject matter and the mood. Subjects are my almost 2-year-old daughter, Isabella, and my then one-week-old son, Nicholas.

A little history on them...when my daughter first met him in the hospital the best word I could use to describe the situation was "stunned". She had no idea what was going on and immediately felt threatened once we took him home. So threatened she whacked him on the head with a teddy bear and then a pillow a couple of minutes later. A few days later my wife sent this to me via phone to reassure me that things were getting better with the two of them.

Just goes to show you with cameras...sometimes you just get lucky.
