Photos Photos Photos
by Nicole Freire

So Ed was praising my photography skills the other day, saying things like, "Remember that palm tree picture you took? It was fantastic! In fact, I think you should include a photograph with every column, just because clip art makes me twitchy."

Well, he might have said something like that. Actually I think he just sent me an email instructing me to include a photograph with every column.

Duly noted.

But I discovered a few things while browsing for material in my iphoto folder.

Like this. Hey, it's the guy at Samy's Camera! Sold me a new bigger better memory card.

How about this? This is my father, trying to take a nap on my daughter's bed. Actually, he's not trying, he's succeeding. As long as his eyes are covered, which they obviously are, he can nap. Don't tell him I took a picture of it though, because that would look ridiculous. Am I right?

----

If you sit in front of me at the SB Bowl during a concert and you're wearing this? I'm going to take a picture of it, because no hair clip should be this large. That is more clip than hair.

----

Here, this is the proper clip to hair ratio.

----

I seem to have a thing for my feet, because I can't stop taking pictures of them. Look, we're on vacation in this one!

----

If the sweet girl at the nail place asks you if you want a flower on your toe, prepare to have them look like this. There's a gemstone glued on one of my toes. Also, glitter!

----

And food, my god, I had no idea I took so many pictures of food. I made this apple pie. With my own hands. And it was good.

----

Birthday cake. Chocolate. Need more? It was good.

----

Check it out, the traditional Christmas Eve dinner in our family, cheese enchiladas. Made by me. Eaten by many. Still dreamed of by some.

----

Leggo my Eggo! One of the greatest thrills parenting brings is the knowledge that your children can operate a toaster ALL BY THEMSELVES. Pass the syrup.
