Newborn

Newborns are hard to take pictures of.  But man, are they sweet.  My friend Jamie just had her baby, Heath.  I forget how small and tiny they are!  Love him.

macro friday

i don't have much experience in the whole macro department, so i thought i'd give it a shot this week. out on my lunch break, i was walking around downtown with my camera like a lunatic searching for something i could practice macro on. does anyone else feel silly taking pictures of weird things in public, or is it just me?
