Photo assignment

Things I need to work on:

Photographing in low light and figuring out the correct f stops and crap.

I really do love running

Here is a link to my Nike page: Juanita

It's not always easy, especially with this air, but I'm doing the best that I can to stay motivated. I go through spurts of running. This time I am trying to make sure that it sticks for longer than three months. Hoping it sticks for the rest of my life!

Christmas

I have too many pictures and because I am too lazy to go through all of them I am not posting any. At least not now.

Happy New Year.

I would find myself... I would find a... way...

Love the man in black.

Eric's birthday pics from yesterday!

I guess I uploaded these in a random order. Yikes! Anyway, I hope Eric had a great day with family and friends. PS I really do make that grumpy, grumpy face while playing the wii or any game for that matter. I just like to win and if I dont.... SORRY for whatever happens next. Hehe.

Love you Eric and love you Atencio family (which now includes me!)

5 years

I still miss him. And I love his family as my own. I feel lucky to have known him.

I am totally addicted to this show right now...

.... And every time I watch it I cry and cry and cry. Not out of sadness but of a feeling I cannot even begin to describe. Well actually that's a lie. It's a feeling of overwhelming love and joy. Happiness in knowing that no matter who I was, who I am or who I will be the most perfect parts of me are living and breathing the life they so deserve. I love Sky and Solee and Malen and Wendy very, very, very much. I'll never ever, ever, ever regret....

Sometimes I forget that I love black and white photos. I forget that most of my inspiration comes in BW. Having a big ol' fancy camera and seeing everything in perfect color can be a bit distracting. Anyway, here are three pics that I took from a while back. I took them with the fancy camera thinking about BW.

Sam, you and your BW pics are my heroes!

Picture update

Dance party with sisters. Randomness.

I LOVE my family!

Liana, James, Damon, Sami and Brenden came into town this weekend. Kevin is leaving for the Airforce boot camp next week. And then him and Tiff are off to Florida. So it was nice to have some of us together.

Obviously missing from this was Eric. He had to work. Christopher, he's off being a navy man. Emily, off being a navy wife. And Krysia, off being young in Texas. I often wonder if we will ever ALL be in the same place again. Either way we always end up smiling and having a wonderful time.

This is our new HOME!!! More pics soon!
