Rule of Thirds

So I have been working on the rule of thirds lately. Just wanted to branch out and try new techniques. The rule of thirds is a technique that brings more focus to the subject, and makes the photograph more appealing to the eye. I personally love the way the pictures look when taken like this. Your eyes is automatically drawn in to the subject, and it gives the rest of the picture a nice clean look. I will continue to work on this some more as I have not fully gotten it down. Hope you enjoy the photos. Constructive criticism is always welcomed :)


Here is a resource for the rule of thirds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

My beloved son

Vincenzio is now 7months. My how time has quickly come and gone! Seems like yesterday Domenick and I were rubbing my belly imagining what was to come, and he is here. He has blossomed into a lovely chunky guy. He is cutting his first tooth. We haven't really had none of the dreadful teething woes, so that's a point for Vinny! He has been crawling for awhile now. It's so amazing to watch him be so mobile when a couple of months ago he just laid there like a lump on a log. He likes to pull all of papa's movies off the shelves. It seems as if it is his goal to see how many times he can make mommy run to and from the chair to the movie shelves. He is pulling himself up on things, and letting go standing by himself for about 10-20 seconds. He gets so excited when he lets go witch in turn makes him fall. He loves the dog. The two of them are inseparable. Just like the movies. I move him away from the dog either he crawls back to the dog or the dog prances ( yes our basset hound "prances" like a little fairy.) back over to the baby. Vincenzio has also started doing this cute little lip smack after he is done eating. It is the most precious thing I have ever seen. He'll come crawling towards the breast for me to feed him, than after he is done nursing he pops of and gives me a few lip smacks with milk on his lips as to say " yum mommy that was great!". Makes my heart melt every time. Vinny has started to throw fits when he doesn't get his way. I know he can't really control himself. He doesn't understand whats going on and he is frustrated, but at times he frustrates me as well. I try to be patient, but when a 7month old is throwing his head into yours it gets a little irritating. He is starting to throw fits during diaper changes he 1: Doesn't want to lay still. 2: Wants to play with himself lol. So that has been fun. Trying to get a cloth diaper on a wiggling, tossing, turning 7month old. All in all little (or big) man is doing great! Until next time my friends!

Oh how I've missed thee

I am ashamed to say I haven't blogged since I got this thing up and going. I don't know what I really want this to focus on. I guess photography and the likes. Maybe a bit of my life here and there. Well we'll see what is to come.

So a few updates....

• Photography: Where do I start with this? I finally got a Nikon *woot* *woot*! The one I chose was the Nikon D60. I went to the store held them all took a couple test shoots, and the D60 is the one I felt was just right for me :).
  

I have taken a liking to landscape photography and photographing things rather than people. They tend to sit still and don't whine, so I can get the perfect shot :).
For Mother's Day my fiance took me out to photograph some flowers. All though he did not think of the changing seasons. The church was in the middle of renovating its landscape, so there wasn't a lot of big beautiful flowers. Ah well, I was happy I got a few great shots from that day. It was a really great first Mother's Day, and I just want to wish the rest of you wonderful ladies a Belated Happy Mother's Day!
