Blue Eyes
Mother and Son I would like to take credit for this image but it is not my image. A few years ago my sisters and I gathered some images of family and created a group of images to give our parents for one of those digital picture frames. This was one of this images we used. I played with it and wanted to add it to last weeks images of children. Love those blue eyes.

Our Passport
Study Time and a Coffee “My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.” – Steve McCurry

Practicing
Practicing “I am always mentally photographing everything as practice.” – Minor White
This image was taken at one of my favorite coffee hangouts. The young mans name is Dillon and works at the coffee shop as a barista. He is taking a break from steaming milk and pouring shots to practice for a few minutes. Now that is what we call dedication to his craft.
And, sitting across from me is a young photographer named is Gayle who is working through the images from a photo shoot. She is a wife, a mother and a professional wedding, newborn, and children’s photographer. If we look around us we will see those who put in the time to hone their skills through dedication and practice. They’re everywhere.

The Regulars
A Couple of Regulars Every coffee shop will have its regulars. They make up an important part of them. Along with the quality of the coffee, the personalities of the baristas,and the decor, they help develop the ambiance of the coffee shop. The baristas and customers know them by name and they know the baristas and customers. If they do not show up in their regular chairs, people will worry. Here are a couple of regulars at a local coffee shop with their thinking caps on. Not sure if they are all talked out or they decided they’ve finally solved all the world problems.
