OH DEAR

Just curious about,

what it looks like

{ Lancaster Fair Attire }

This is what everyone should wear the the Lancaster Fair. It’s what I’m wearing. HA! Not so much. Next time I’ll post my frump outfit I’m really wearing.

Never underestimate the power/mind of a four-month old! She weaseled her way into my bed last night by pretending the world would come to an end if I put her in her crib, and was instantly pacified when I put her in bed with us. I’ll forgive her this time, if she’s forgives me for not strapping her into her stroller yesterday, causing the newly, over ambitious, baby to slip her way out and do a face-plant on the cement floor.

She’s so precious!

Dear Blog World,

I started this blog two years ago with no intentions of sharing it with ANYBODY. I’ve since decided to share it, and god only knows why. Question? Since when did all these stay at home moms become photographers? I did spend part of my life in photography school. Kudos to those who figured it out on their own, because all joking aside, I’ve seen some really good work.

Linky tools? Really? Part of me we wants to join in and part of me is thinking, does anyone actually read anyone’s blog or is it just a mad linky rush game to get followers? Who has time to do all that, especially when you have small children. (Well maybe I don’t have time because you have to add my full time work schedule, my fiance, my four month old and my teenager who thinks homework isn’t important, and because of that, we spend at least 1-2 hours on doing homework that should take 15 mins, into mix.)

This all reminds me of owning a club in Second Life. The amount of WORK you put into it…and for what? NUMBERS. I’m not saying my blog is great, because it isn’t. It’s mine and it’s my life. I have nothing interesting to share. Maybe I should share it with my family…they might like it. I have no recipes, no crafts (not a crafter, they just add to the chaos in my life) and no DIYs. Even if I did, would you actually make it? I think most of it is just filler. Sorry, I know, I suck, but it’s true.

I don’t do photography as a means of living, mainly because it takes the fun out of it, and being a nurse is much more reliable. That’s mainly why I started this blog. I see I’m AT LEAST TWO, THREE, FOUR…STEPS BEHIND.

If you can’t beat em, join em right? I might. I already put those stupid {} thingys around my titles. (Yeah, I thought of that on my own! Not so much) Maybe after awhile, people will get sick of seeing my link, on the linky tools list and actually read and look at my blog for more than 60 seconds. Watch out because here I come, well maybe.

Sincerely,

Felia Balls

My friend’s kids, this weekend at camp. I told their mother they should be Vogue Models…HA!

I’m really liking this photo edge thing. Bear with me, until I get over it.

{ Random }

I was making film edges today and I found this photo that I took of this child on the street of San Francisco, playing violin. The film edge, that I made, was of my favorite black and white film, Kodak Tri-X 320. I liked this film A LOT, mainly because it is so forgiving. I REALLY miss film.
