On May 15th Aday.org asks you and people all around the world to pick up your cameras and picture what is close to you. In this unique photographic event, we will work together to create a unique documentation of daily life.
Professionals, amateurs, school children, farmers, social media fans, astronauts and office workers. Cell phone camera, Hasselblad, home made or borrowed. Aday.org is looking for the perspectives of everyone who enjoys photography. The goal is to inspire perspectives on humankind – today and tomorrow.
All images will be displayed online for you and everyone to explore. Some of them will be selected for a book, others will be displayed in digital exhibitions. Every single one will be saved for future research and inspiration.
Let a part of your life inspire generations to come. Share your perspective! Read more about the project and sign up at www.aday.org.
It certainly can’t be just me, but looking at the logo for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London leaves me with a very confused feeling. What in the world could the designers / selection committee have been thinking?! IMO, it is the worst logo I could imagine for such a high profile event!
I wold have preferred just a generic 5 Olympic rings logo over what they chose! The designers said they were creating a logo for a younger generation! Really? If so, then they FAILED, IMO!
London 2012 has stated that the new logo is aimed at reaching young people. Sebastian Coe stated that it builds upon everything that the organising committee has said “about reaching out and engaging young people, which is where our challenge is over the next five years.” One observer, a managing director of an advertising agency, noted that the logo bore a strong resemblance to the logo for the 1974–1982 children’s television programme Tiswas, commenting that appealing to young people is difficult, and that they will see right through attempts to patronise them.
So, what do you think?

Now this was a cool logo…
I often get asked by friends, and sometimes from ‘virtual’ friends on flickr or here on my blog, for advice on capturing amazing photos of their kids. I don’t claim to be an expert, but I have learned a thing or two over the years, and I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned! The following tips are a few things that I often tell friends who are looking to improve the photos they take of their kids. I’d love to hear from you, do any of these ring true for you? Do you disagree with any of these? Do you have a tip or two to add to this list? If so, please share it with us and we’ll all improve together!
Okay, let’s get to the tips!
Catch Your Kids Being Themselves:
The best way to avoid the tired old portraits you’ve always taken is to think about your shot and what makes your kids who they are. Capture family traditions or events that are special to you and your kids and make sure that your family’s personalities are represented. There is nothing wrong with a posed, smile for the camera, type of photo, however, if you really want to start capturing amazing photos of your kids, start focusing on capturing photos that catch your kids being themselves.

Nate and I were given tickets to see the Texas Rangers play the New York Yankees last night! This was Nate’s first time to go to a baseball game (and my first time to go see the Rangers!) I wasn’t sure how Nate was going to do with a night game that started about the same time he is usually brushing his teeth and getting ready for bed!
Nate did really well though! As you can see from the photo, we were sitting in the upper deck, which was “pretty cool” to Nate, although I think he wasn’t into the actual game play as much as he might have been if we were sitting closer. (There is just something about HEARING the ball smack into the catcher’s glove when the pitcher (Yu Darvish) throws a 97 mph fastball!
Nate really did get into the cheering, and he loved all the different songs and chants that go along with live baseball games! Another thing that Nate thought was especially cool was recognizing the “songs about Jesus” that a couple of players had as their “intro” songs that played as they came up to bat.
It probably would not have mattered to Nate any, but the 47,085 fans that were at the Rangers stadium appreciated that the Rangers were victorious over the Yankees 2-0!
I transitioned our family’s blog from being hosted on Apple’s soon-to-be-cancelled iWeb service over to the ever-consistent WordPress service. For most people who just visit the website: http://webelfamily.com , you will not need to do anything different, that same address will now take you to the new location. However, if you subscribe to the blog using “RSS”, then the feed has changed and you’ll need to delete the old feed and re-subscribe to the blog’s new RSS feed!
There is also an option to have an Email sent to you every time the blog is updated, so if you are not into RSS, but you’d like to make sure you don’t miss any blog posts, click on the “+ Follow” button on the lower right corner of the blog and you’ll be prompted to enter your Email address.

We had a birthday party for Elizabeth and Anna on Saturday. We started a tradition of having their ‘big’ party together since their birthdays are only a month apart. We usually have a small ‘family’ party on the day of their actual birthdays, and then we have a big party where we invite friends on a date somewhere in-between their actual birthdays. This year, we were unexpectantly celebrating their birthdays in America. We were so very grateful that there were some new friends that could come to their party and help them feel special on their ‘birthday’!
Erica made an “Ice Cream” themed cake – the girls always LOVE the cakes that Erica makes for them! Continue reading ‘Elizabeth & Anna’s “Together” Party’
Being in the USA unexpectantly for Easter meant some Easter fun on a larger scale than that the kids are used to!
