Morning Moments

She’s starting to smile more when I’m holding the camera! Hooray!

I remember No Traces writing about how difficult it was to capture an in-focus photograph of his newborn daughter because she was always moving. Before Miss Leyba arrived I didn’t get it. How much could a little girl move?!

Now I completely understand. For every 10 photos I shoot, 1 is (maybe) in focus. She is constantly moving her head, hands, fingers, legs, feet, etc. I love how she is exploring the world, but thank goodness for digital cameras and being able to shoot a gazillion photos of each moment. I can’t imagine how fast I would be burning through film if I hadn’t switched over to digital.

So, I am sorry for all of the blurry photos I’ve posted over the last three months. This actually marks a big transition for me: I’m now all about capturing the moment rather than capturing the perfect, artist shot. Hence, a family blog rather than my old photoblog. I hope you are enjoying it.
