I am suffering from mother's guilt.  I can't remember the last time I took photos of the kids!  I tried fooling myself by telling myself if I had a digital camera, I would be apt to take more photographs.  But, that's not entirely true.  Indeed I might take more, but more than likely not do a darn thing with those images.  So, yesterday I stopped formulating tiresome excuses for my inactivity and shot some photos of my daughter before we headed out to the store.  (Pig tails lasted a whole 5 minutes in the car ride.  Oh well...at least they are documented at least once;)  I developed the negatives when we returned home and printed them in the darkroom last night.  I think I am going to set up a photo a day challenge for myself.

Photos were taken on our front porch which faces north and both my daughter and myself were in the shade cast by the house.  f/5.6 with a ss 125 using my 50mm lens.

This photo is a scan of an 8x10 that will be framed...and apparently hung in my daughter's room as she won't let me have it...vain child of mine!

Now go forth and photograph those loved ones!

Love, Tracy Austin
