ouch!

Happy Memorial Day!

Since I had to work today, I did some celebrating yesterday with friends in the sunshine.  I hope you got to have a drink or two, perhaps some bbq and just an all around wonderful weekend.  Hope you didn't forget to take a moment to thank all the service men and women out there who have fought and continue to fight for all the freedoms we enjoy!

It's Caturday!!!

phone fun day 2

phone fun!

Yes, I'll admit it, I'm one of those Instagram users.  I just love the filters!!!  If I have my camera with me though, it always wins out over a silly app on my phone.

can't think of a title today, so no title day!

Summer, really?

Hard to believe that there are schools out for summer break already.  When did winter fade away and it become summer?

Can't hide from Monday

I worked all weekend though, so Monday doesn't carry quite the dread for me that it does for others.

August Sander

August Sander is best known for portraits: portraits of everyone.  When he was still quite young, he decided that he wanted to depict "People of the 20th Century" arranged by origin and occupation.  While the work as a whole was divided into seven groups, hardly any occupation, profession or status in life was overlooked.  These seven groups included "The Farmer," "The Artisan," The Women," "The Estates," "The Artists," "The Big City," and "The Last Men."

His work would contain more than 45 portfolios.  The final portfolio consisted of "Idiots, the Sick, Mentally Ill and the Dead."  "We must be able to bear seeing the truth," Sander had written.  He had a credo that he had written for his first exhibit: "There is nothing I detest more than sugar-coasted photography with its frills, poses and effects."

It makes you wonder, under which group and portfolio would you fall?

It's Caturday!

What can I say?  I like snow leopards.  Hope you're enjoying this beautiful Saturday!

My bad

I know, I know, I've been gone for a loooong time.  I don't really even have a good excuse.  Life's been, well, stressful lately.  So certain things (like blogging) got put on the back burner.  Other things have been going on though.  I started an Etsy site for Jenny B's Photography.  You should definitely check it out!  Hopefully you'll see something you like.  I'll be adding more photographs on there soon.  If you have a favorite that you'd love to see for sale, send me an e-mail and I'll add it on there.  I also started a facebook page devoted to my photography.  So, if you have a facebook account, I would love it if you would "like" me!  I promise I will try my darnedest to actually post more.  Thanks for being patient with me!

I'll be brief

Hehehehe
