a picture is worth a thousand words

Hi, I’m Rachel. And welcome to my photography blog. I have been on a picture taking role here lately. When I take pictures of something, you might notice there are often several shots with the same theme. If you see three or four pictures that are decent and have a similar theme, chances are there are 50-150 more that you aren’t seeing. I have a “File Cabinet” folder on my desktop where I deposit all of my pictures and movies. I backed up my pictures last on October 30th. I just remember the date because it was right before Halloween. My file cabinet is now 18GB!!! I put pictures on two hard drives, one internal and one external. I want to burn copies of all of them to keep in a fire safe, but as you can imagine, that is a daunting task. You’re looking at over 40GB of pictures. I don’t even know how many DVDs it would take. Anyway, enough about my photography obsession. Here’s some more pictures. As usual.

Safety first, always wear your safety goggles when working with tools

I hate that I couldn’t get the red eye out of this one

Last night, Scott had gone in the kitchen to make coffee. Caleb came in and said “Whatcha doin Dad? Oh you makin coffee.” Answered his own question and then started dragging a kitchen chair across the room. Scott asked what he was doing and he said, “I have to call somebody,” and he parked his chair below the phone and climbed up. We keep our phone unplugged because of telemarketers, and rarely ever use it. We just enjoy paying $85 a month for internet (phone + DSL courtesy BullshitSouth, I mean BellSouth). He said he was calling the Ghostbusters.

“Don’t take pic-shuwah of me”

No matter how many times you play peekaboo, kids this age never tire of it. It doesn’t matter how many times I snatch the blanket off and snap the resulting picture, it will be the same expression every time.

Doh, I messed up

Sharing milk with TJ (Maaan, now I got dirt in my rims! - Are we Cars fans? I think so. Check out the shirt…Pitstop!)

Can you find Caleb?
