All taken w/ Canon Rebel XS.
Two weeks ago I was sick. Just before I fell sick I got a new camera (the XS), giving my trusty XTi to my son. I also got a new lens (my much coveted 50mm). Right after I got sick, I fell into writing so hard that my new camera languished by the wayside. I forced myself to pick it up a couple of times this week, because I have to get used to it. My Weekly Winner selections are few b/c I am not used to either the camera or the lens, and my two mini photo-shoots didn’t give me enough practice. Hopefully soon enough I’ll be back to over-stuffing this page with pictures.

That’s all for this week. Head on over to Lotus‘ digs to see more!!
I just love the feel of this set, S!
@Mishi,
Thanks Mishi!! I feel guilty for not being nicer to my new camera and lens by using them…I’ve just been so busy & wrapped up in writing! Very happy I was able to get these out 🙂
Sibling hugs are precarious things, but that is a sweet snap.
@Tara R.,
They can be very precarious. These two can’t stop fighting lately. I had to capture this moment while I could 😉
I love ‘Life’ and ‘Lashes’!
Congrats on the new camera and lens!!!
I got violently ill and I have barely picked up my camera in 2 weeks. I need to get back into it, too.
@Rachel,
Thanks, Rachel!! The lashes picture is definitely my favorite too!
Oh, the illness was the worst! I haven’t been that sick in at least 10 years. I was shocked by how sick I could actually feel *lol* Hope you’re feeling better and we both get into our cameras again soon!!
I think these make a GREAT set – the shot of the girls hugging is priceless!
@Colleen – Mommy Always Wins,
Thanks!! The girls had too much fun with the fact that Mommy was on her belly w/ a camera trying to capture them playing. Very difficult to get good shots when they’re trying to avoid it *lol*
i love your use of negative space on “drop.” well done!
@tara on the wander,
Thank you, Tara!! That’s exactly what I was going for when I cropped up this picture. I just adored the negative space I found in it!
Wonderful bunch of photos! I have a few where you can’t tell if it is love or strangling with my boys
Oh the shots are just GORGEOUS!!
i really like the new green shoots poking through the old brown!
Love the drop and the lashes shot.
adore the sisterly love 🙂 and that sticky face is precious
I absolutely can’t pick a favorite. These are all incredible!!
Fantastic set.. please keep playing with the new cam!
Isnt that just kids – love hate in a matter of seconds!
The lash shot is beautiful!
Love all the pictures esp. the first one! Congrats on your cam and lens!
