Three Thousand Words

Yes, three thousand, you all know the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" well mine are worth three thousand. Most of my pictures are of my three kids (yet another reason I picked three) and my surrounding area. I live in an area that is just beautiful, I'm surrounded by mountains (Appalachian Mountains), and live close to a beautiful river (Shenandoah River), I'm surrounded by beauty and I try to capture as much as I can.

I also love to edit pictures with photo editing. Making certain features pop out and so forth. I'm still trying to improve my skills with it. Below is one of my recent pictures I've edited.

This is my 8month old son Jaxon. He is such a joy to photograph because he's not quite mobile yet so he can't run away. I just love how his eyes come out in this, I just enhanced them a little to make them pop a little in the black and white.

This blog isn't going to be just my photography, if you are interested in posting some of your own work, I'd love to have guest bloggers to post a picture and explain what the picture means to you, what you were trying/did capture in it, etc.
