Black and White Wednesday




Joining Lisa's B&W Wednesday wagon again!!

My husband took this picture of me about 4 years ago, walking down the shoreline in Oahu, Hawaii. He had a 4 day business trip and I got to sneak away with him and my Mom watched our kiddos. (I was not going to let him go to Hawaii without me! ha)

We did not get to spend a whole lot of time together because he was working but we did sneak away a couple times for some snorkeling and site seeing. It was heavenly to have some down time and R&R. We had also just made the decision to adopt and started looking at agencies.

**And the lucky WINNER for my GIVEAWAY IS #15, Sheila @
CONGRATS!!! I will be contacting you to get your mailing info!!

Wow! I really love this photo! I love the way you're walking carefree, and how your set up in the shot. Great job to your husband {and to you, for being such a great model!}

On another note, my husband and I will be celebrating our 10 yr anniv. this summer and are trying to decide where to go. We've considered Hawaii. Would you recommend it? Just trying to get some suggestions :) Thanks!! Angie :)

a peaceful photo. i love it. please consider this...

A new idea for a photo project and potential book :
I want to carry out a photo project and eventually put a book in to print to show the world through photography. I want to focus on countries through out the world seen through a lens.
We live once in this beautiful and mysterious world and through
every individual journey, there is alwats a picture or a story to tell
and share with the rest of the world.

Through this movement : to create a better understanding of various countries, cultures, places and people through photography.
I would love your ideas on what you think to the potential for this book.

I would also need writers aswell as photographers to contribute to this book.

I hope that I can turn a photo project in to a book for everyone to
gain a better understanding of the world today.

thankyou for your time. any comments much appreicated.

Such a beautiful photo!! What a great place to get to sneak away to on a business trip. I lived in Kaneohe, Oahu for two summers during college. It was heavenly.
