I’m just back from a week away visiting with friends and family in Miami.  I brought my “big” camera and my iphone.  Guess which one I ended up using everyday…  I love Instagram and seem to be posting more there than Facebook  -so if you are on Instagram, feel free to follow me:  marymchenry.  I’d love to see what you are up to as well!

Here are few of my favorite camera apps.  There are a lot of great ones out there, but these are the ones I seem to end up using the most:

Camera+ -for shooting and processing
Phonto -for adding text to your photo
VSCO cam -for processing

And other ways to stay in touch, in our digital world:

Twitter, which I’ve finally got the hang of and am having fun with.
Facebook page, lots of recent work goes here.

Oh- and if you one of the many who are obsessed with Pinterest, you can add my blog photos now!  Just hover your mouse over the photos.  Fun!

Have a great week,

Mary

I just love them. I had such a great time with Lucy exploring the beautiful hillside areas outside of Palo Alto. She is such a lovely girl and I’m so happy that she’ll have these images to remind her of this unique time in life. Second semester senior year… so exciting, I remember it well.

If you are interested in having your senior …or junior …or sophomore pictures taken, please contact me.  I’d love to meet you.

Playing around with the Lomo LC-Wide.  This was my first roll -it’s a fun balance of intentional shooting and happy surprises.

Funny thing, this roll had been in the camera for so long that I had forgotten it was color, I thought I was shooting BW.  Anyhow, these are my four favorite shots from the roll.  Actually, no- there were two others that I really liked but I underexposed them.  Ugh.  Don’t underexpose film.
