Yesterday, I checked the mail……and there, waiting for me, was my second Postcrossing postcard. This one was from Kristina, from Belarus. I just wanted to share this moment of joy and once again encourage you to participate in postcrossing (disclosure: I’m not being paid to say that…I really believe in the process).

While I’m here, I want to thank krissilugbill at The Freebird Photoblog for giving me an award. The rules of this...

I thought I’d share my little secret with you – because it’s not really a secret and because you’ve asked nicely. Once again, I am using one of my favorite models…our niece. This shot was taken back in January and she was just starting to lose her baby teeth. I’m not sure that this shot is the best shot to illustrate motion blur, but hopefully you get the...
