Look! A Puppy!

Meet Sandy, my Dad's new puppy. This is her meeting my new Keens, in July. (Deep breath, Steph & Jacquie & Amy, I rescued them right after taking this picture and they are completely undamaged)
I am waaaay behind on processing photos at the moment. I'm still plugging away at our honeymoon stuff as well -- I have about a billion awesome photos of iguanas running around the resort that I need to finish sorting through as well.
I've realized something fundamental about why it takes me so long to get photos up after I shoot them: I need some time/distance in order to edit effectively; and by edit I mean cutting down the 100+ photos I may have taken in any one day down to maybe 20 good ones. Otherwise I fall in love with capturing every detail instead of focusing on just the great photos, and I end up with 60-photo sets.
At heart I think I'm a storyteller though, so its tough to decide. Sometimes even a crap photograph captures a part of the event that I want to remember/document. I don't think I'll ever be a true photo artist... but I can live with that. My user name is what it is, after all.

Thanks for reassuring us that the Keens were ok! ;)

So cute. I have kept slightly blurry pics sometimes for the meories too. And sometimes the movement enhances the pic. Like the one I have of my 89 month old neice checking out her new shoes, the shoes are a blur, but the pic is great...
OMG she's a cutie! And that's a great picture!!
