something about seeing beautiful creative photography lights up my heart.. i love my flickr account. i can't wait for our baby to be born.. i love child photography the most. and i have so many ideas to use on my own children thanks to all the inspiration you can get from flickr.

i only had a few contacts on my account. if you are not familiar with flickr. when you add a contact you are updated when they (photographers) upload more pictures.. i have had to delete a few photographers because i realized their photography never really spoke to me. or made me feel happy yadda yadda yadda. one girl just kept taking the exact same picture over and over and over of her daughter.. they were beautiful pictures but it made me feel like it's all she could do..

i sign into flickr everyday hoping and holding my breath that someone has uploaded more pictures.. so i went searching for more contacts.. and boy did i find another favorite.. right now.. angela is my absolute favorite photographer.. she takes some of the most amazing pictures of her children i have ever seen.. she really captures them as a whole.. her pictures tell a story.. they are warm.. inviting.. captivating and just beautiful! now i have a new favorite.. i found him yesterday.. his disney world pictures SOLD ME! you can see them here.. aren't they amazing pictures? someday, i would love to be as good as these two photographers.. i know it takes practice and time ( i feel i have learned a lot already and yet there is so much more to learn) and lots of money because the type of lens (or glass, as real photographers like to call it) and camera you use really helps! i haven't even been doing this for a year yet.. but i tend to be impatient with things i want to succeed at.. especially now before our child gets here.. i want to take beautiful pictures like them.. anyway this new guy can take some great pictures.. not just of disney world, but pretty much anything.. click here to view his other pictures..

looking at his pictures just proves i need a tripod BADLY before i head to europe! i don't know if i will be able to get my lenses in time.. in fact, i know i won't.. i could rent lenses but the fact i will be there for a month will make it expensive.. so that won't be a good option for me.. i might rent a few lenses for a week, if i still haven't been able to purchase them by the time butterball gets here (and lets face it.. i know that won't be a reality.. $1200 for a lens.. or $1200 for baby stuff.. yeah baby wins that one.. lol)

david and i plan on avoiding getting "professional" pictures done.. i really hate pictures from sears, kiddie kandids, those sorts of places etc.. they are 99% generic/boring and so posed bleh!.. hiring a real photographer can be pretty expensive.. soo, i plan on doing all my own "professional" shots of my children... whew.. i have my plate filled with that lol.. i might get a better flash and a flash diffuser before germany.. they are pricey.. but WAY cheaper than the lenses and the effect they give me would be worth the cost.. in my opinion anyway..

::sigh:: i wish i could win money or something.. there is so much i want/need and so much money wanted/needed to get these things.. blah.. LMAO!

oh.. not sure if anyone else heard about this.. i have to blog about this because it's so disgusting and makes me ill.. but there has been another case where a psycho lady cut open a pregnant lady and stole the baby.. she first claimed the child was hers (as they always do), then said she paid a girl $1000 for the baby.. cops went looking for the real mother.. searched the psycho ladies house and found a corpse.. at the time (yesterday) they didn't mention if the corpse was a female or male.. but this afternoon they released the info that it was in fact a female and her uterus had be cut open.. sick.. disgusting.. i feel like throwing up!

there was another case like this not to long ago up in seattle somewhere.. most of these psychos lie about being pregnant to their friends and relatives before doing this.. this recent lady is completely nuts.. she has TRIED to do this with a few other people but the victims were able to escape (one victim was stabbed numerous times before being able to escape).. the psycho was even put into prison for awhile for the stabbing and was released on probation.. poor mother (victim)... justice sucks sometimes.. if they kept the psycho in jail where she belongs (FOREVER) this poor mother would still be alive with her child..

anyway.. the whole story freaks me out a little bit.. stories like those always made me gag.. now that i am pregnant it worries me.. so i have vowed to become more aware of my surroundings.. especially towards the end of my pregnancy..
