I took my first photograph sometime in 2005. I had started with my dad's twenty year old manual Canon, we developed the film in our college's dark room, experimented with different processes and techniques. In 2007 after much convincing my dad bought me my first DSLR, Canon of course! Back then a DSLR wasn't a household gadget.. I bought my first lens.. both of which I still use today. I first decided to start selling my work in 2008. I tried different platforms and venues, I participated in an online auction where I sold my first four photographs. In 2009 I joined Etsy and it took me four months to make my first sale.. and now today five years later I have passed a milestone.. I sold my 110th photograph.. a wohoo is in order, don't you think? Eight of those photographs hang in the Regional Headquarters of PNC Bank, New Jersey. Ten crossed international borders.

This week.. well at least the early parts of it were finally t-shirt and flip flop warm. : ) And when April rolls around our little town becomes cherry blossom central.. so D and I had a little impromptu picnic in the park after school one day.. Another cherry blossom post  featuring a chubbier, less toothy D. We had a tantrum filled Wednesday and after so much crying and me trying to stay strong and firm we ended up with an afternoon of ice cream without lunch, ducks at the pond and a trip to the local pet store where D pretended he was a parrot.  On the eleventh we had an incident of D barricading himself in the bathroom making us almost late for school and completely forgetting about Picture Day! His first : )  Friday we took the train into New York to meet M after his Epi LASIK surgery.. successful thank god! So we've had a weekend of dark shades and eye drops.  Today M continue's his recovery.. D has his last swim class of the year most probably.. :(
