Clique: More Baby Pics ~ CC Encouraged!

Welcome to CLIQUE!

I can trace my love of photography back three generations, to the early 1900s and my paternal great-grandfather, Henry Mattson. I have a really cool photo that he took of the old family homestead in Minnesota, sometime before 1910. According to family history, Grampa Mattson frequently took photos of his world - the people and places that he loved.

It warms my heart to know that this love of photography didn't skip any generations as it passed down to me! I am blessed to have such a legacy and I hope to pass it on to my own children and grandchildren some day.

I experience a physical and spiritual thrill whenever the Lord shows Himself in His marvelous creation around us and in the people I meet. My dream vacation would be to spend a year or two just traveling around the US, stopping at little out of the way places and photographing the interesting characters and the beauty of nature to be found along the way - those things that draw me closer to GOD and help point others to Him, too.

More Baby Pics ~ CC Encouraged!

This is Jacey (Jay-see) - the little 14 month old boy my daughter Jen cares for. He's such a cutie and makes me laugh every time we're together! I took these shots yesterday while at Jen's - converted some of them to B&W and am interested in your input. I don't use B&W very often, but I kind of like the way these turned out (converted in Roxio 5.0).

TIA for your comments and critiques!
