The Hackett Family

This family means so much to me. A couple years ago they were a huge part of my life. I spent almost everyday with those two kiddos. During the school year we'd tackle homework and school projects together. I had to make sure they got to sporting events on time. Prepared lunches for the next day. Then during the summer we'd visit the local library, go to many parks, talk about how much they each wanted a dog. There were even times when I had to be the bad baby sitter. Only a few though ;)

I mostly miss laying on the couch watching Pokemon with each of them on either side of me. One would almost always have her iPod in her hands, while the other one would be asking me when it was time to eat. Those were the good day.

Another thing I love so much about this family, is the presence of Love they each radiate. Brian and Alyson have been married over a decade yet they still act like their in the honeymoon stage. They literally complete each others sentences and can always find ways to make each other laugh. I just love it.

Painting with light.

As another assignment this semester, we painted with light. My personal favorite examples are the real cheesy sparkler ones where words are spelled out or light is romantically wrapped around a bride and groom. Even though those tend to get my vote, our professors believe those are cliche and overdone. So for our paint by light image we were taught a different way. For my specific picture I used three external flashes with different colored gels on them (blue, yellow and pink). This HAD to be taken late at night when there wasn't any light in the sky. Myself and two other ladies snuck onto the grounds of an old abandoned farm house. Keep in mind that's it's pitch black outside and we're three young ladies carrying expensive gear... Anyways, my exposure was about 30 seconds long and we each flashed a flash the entire time. I was only able to get three shots before a car pulled up and we ran out of there in a panic. 
But not before I got bit by some mysterious creature. Took nearly a month before it healed.
Overall it was a neat assignment. Doesn't hurt that I got an A either ;)
