I took this the spring before my little Bobo was born, back when I still let me DSLR see the light of day. Used the Orton technique post-process. Too busy to be mucking about taking close up portraits of pretty flowers now, but I guess what that is what retirement is for! 🙂

I’ve been seeing a lot of silhouette art lately and I have been meaning to make some of Arin for-eh-vah. I want some to frame, maybe some of those cool multiple ones would be fun too. I don’t know, I’m playing around with ideas. Here is a quick one I did of my six-month old little Bobosaurus, it would be cute for a little card or part of a progression set, I dunno. By the way, I absolutely cannot stand the cuteness of looking through all the pics from when he was this little…

Once upon a time long ago there was a cozy house all decorated for Christmas. Logs burned merrily in the fireplace and a Christmas Tree glittered with lights as all was ready for Santa’s visit and a happy festive season of merriment and joy.

John Boswell created this amazing project called the Symphony of Science that if you haven’t seen already, you must. It’s delicious, addictive, intelligent, beautiful and haunting. Here is his second piece, “We Are All Connected”. If you like this, his website is http://www.symphonyofscience.com/ and you can view this video and his first one as well. Be careful though, this stuff is highly addictive – you’ve been warned.

This was taken on October 17, 2007, soon after Bobo was first introduced to the baba. I think this is Week 9. Seems like he spent all day eating, and I got to spend all that time cuddling him up! I miss those babas. 🙂

Taken on September 20th, Bobo got dressed up for Christmas early in his adorable Santa pajamas. I know its months away but I couldn’t help myself. Also he’s sucking on his Winnie the Pooh pacifier and sleeping like a little angel, aww.

Week 1 Okay, so this is still Week 1… two pics for the first week! This was taken August 7th, two days after the little munchkin was born. The midwife was telling me how much newborn babies like having their bottoms patted, and it was true, he liked it! We were in the hospital for a few days after delivery because of Arin’s jaundice, but finally we got to go home with a to-go Bilirubin light that I legitimately had to acquire in a sketchy back alley scenario. His skin is a lovely olive yellow color, because just like me,…

So here’s the start of my Black and White of the Week project… Week 1! Picture for Bobo’s first week, taken just after he was born and finally in my arms. This entry is backdated from 2011, I will go back and try to do every week from all four years since he was born.
