It is difficult to pinpoint what is so compelling about ‘My Parents Were Awesome’.
The simple question – how did your folks look before they were parents? – is the basis for this extraordinary photoblog. Blogger Eliot Glazer knew that “Before the fanny packs and Andrea Bocelli concerts, your parents (and grandparents) were once free-wheeling, fashion-forward, … [Read more.]
Visit the sublime Ada Ada website and you will be wondering whether you are shopping for beautiful baby clothes or leafing through a superb photography portfolio. In fact, it is both.
Most people can recall a school project that had a lasting impact, whether it was a topic that really interested them or a project they put extra effort into. My most memorable school project was making a pinhole camera when I was eleven years old. I found the process fascinating and the results thrilling. To … [Read more.]
Having children has given my photography habit a whole new meaning. Although I haven’t been particularly good at writing down my kids’ milestones, I have made a photo album for each of them which includes a picture taken on the ‘day they were born’ of each month. For example, my son who was born on … [Read more.]
