Something Different - Rusty Farm Equipment is Art

Posted by rgeitgey on 30th June 2008

Old Rusted Plow BladesI had the opportunity to go to theRusted Plow Blades Horse & Carriage Show for a brief time before a huge storm came.  I was only able to take a few images.  Here are a few I really liked displayed on canvases.  These can be printed up to 36×32 or so.  I think the rusted textured of these old blades, the tractor seat, and light play on them makes for an interesting composition. Enjoy.

Fun with Animations using Smilebox

Posted by rgeitgey on 24th June 2008

I recently discovered “Smilebox. com” which allows you to make animated slide shows (flash) from your images on their site and shared them with friends.  Today I made several shows of 3 of my favorite little girls.  I’m sharing my interview with Maddy about Frogs for you to see here.  Click here and view here answers.  When you click it will take you to the SmileBox site to view it.  Close out the tab to come back.  Comments are welcome.

There are ads on the site, but they family oriented.  You can purchase templates on the site and send and view your Smilebox slide shows without adds.  They have a zillion styles to try out.  It is fun.

Meet the father of the children featured in the previous posts. Lee is an dedicated dad, husband,

Lee.. proud Dad to SixProfile of Buddy Holding an American Flag


serves his country as an US Army Chaplain represent

ing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).

He has served in Iraq and is currently receiving training to be a hospital chaplain. It has been a treat to

work with the family. They are all precious. Their awesome mother has managed, so far to allude the camera

during the recent session, so I guess I’ll have to stalk her like the paparazzi!

The littlest at two years old is showing his patriotism with his American flag! He’s ready for the 4th of July celebrations.

Stay tuned! These kids have big shoes to fill and great examples to follow.

Sneak Previews of PhotoShoot this Evening~with Vintage Looks~Inland Beach Look Portraiture

Posted by rgeitgey on 10th June 2008

Two Views of the Kids playing in the SandVintage Six Little Harms in Georgia Sand

We have dear friends who are moving to Hawaii next Monday, courtesy of the U. S. Army.

This group shot of six siblings  is my unplanned favorite of the evening.

We were lining up together for a “feet in the sand” picture when I grabbed the group shot.

Needless to getting six kids into “formation” and together doing the same thing at one time

is a challenge…especially the littlest ones. The youngest turned 2 years old a few days ago.

You can see their independent personalities in the images of them all together.

We made sure they got plenty of Georgia sand between their toes so they would “have to return to Georgia” in the future.

We  visited together at the school playground near their home and took individual pictures and many candids of

their six kids. This is just a small sampling of the zillion shots I took. I’ve been tinkering with them to create

some interesting effects including this “Vintage” look on some of them.  They sure look like they were at the

beach and not inland 200 miles!

two kids in the sand. They were so content just playing in the

sand that they were not interested in looking at that silly lady with a camera! It can be so addictive to work on

images and explore all their possibilities.Comments are encouraged! There is a link at the bottom of the posts.

The kids (and me, too) will read them and appreciate them.

The youngest girl fell down just as we started and scraped up her knees badly brooklyn_9076-medium.jpg,

so she’ll get an individual time later this week. You can see her agony here…I didn’t to leave her out of the sneak previews.

We’ll have to hurry and get some of her individually. She’s featured above in the “Vintage” look image.
