To everyone who commented. You are all soooo right.

I have always been the type of mom who lets her express herself, who tries to foster independence and individuality in her. I'm not sure why I started wavering recently. But, my eyes have really been opened again.

I knew this all along, I mean it's what I've been doing.
Now, time for some Mommy Bragging!

Maya won a math competition at school, and she won a reading contest, and she already passed the timed math tests they are suppose to be practicing. She's such a little smartie!  :)

Also, for all you parents out there who prefer "positive" discipline, (i.e. no spanking), I have created a group... Positive Parenting! Find it under my "groups" section and go join!!

In other news, I had to work today so my photo of the day is another co-worker. Presenting: Chuck! He is also a professional photographer, and I've done a few gigs with him, and one on my own for him.

Chuck!

I can try.

I've been meaning to try this project for some time now. My friend Brea from work does it, and talked me into it!

Soooo I joined the group here and at Flickr and, we;ll see how it goes!!!

Day One is dedicated to Brea!

Brea at Work

Here she is, in all her glory. I took this photo as work today. We were having too much fun.  I edited the photo using Picnik's  cross processing  feature. I think it's a pretty cool effect! Gives it a very lo-fi, vintage kind of look. Not perfect. Sometimes, not perfect is perfect.

I love my job!

Being obsessed with photography is easy when you work in a photo lab / camera shop. I'm surrounded by people who are also into photography. I am surrounded by awesome cameras, awesome gear, awesome equipment, I get to see so many cool photos (and a great deal of not so good ones, too... ah well, its all subjective anyway, right?), I meet interesting people and I love what I actually do there.

I've always felt there something almost magical about processing film. We get a ton of digital orders, but we get a lot of film too. Even our digital prints are done on photographic paper that can't touch the light and needs chemicals. Some labs are "dry" labs, no chemicals, just printers not much better than what we all have at home. That's part of what makes our lab so awesome... it's NOT a dry lab!! The quality is amazing.

So, there ya have it. Day 1 of 365!!
