IHF Challenge – Let’s hear it for the boys

21 June 2011 How I love the Interwebs

I’m sure you can imagine my delight when I saw that this week’s I Heart Faces photography challenge: Let’s hear it for the boys. The problem, of course, was narrowing it down to just one of the dozens (hundreds?) of pictures that express how much I love the boys in my life, and boys in [...]

Mothership Photography is on Facebook (please like me!)

17 May 2011 Editorial asides

I signed up for an account when it was first opened up, but aside from an early addiction to Scrabble when I was pregnant with Lucas in 2007, I never really found a [...]

On tweeting the fine line between promoting and bragging

24 March 2011 Meta-blogging

There was a social event a month or two back. To be honest, I’ve completely forgotten what it was for, but it was one of those “invite a lot of local bloggers and tweeters out for a night” type of things. Someone asked me if I was going, and it was the first I’d heard [...]

Hooray for Ottawa!

15 February 2011 How I love the Interwebs

Here’s three great links for people who love Ottawa as much as I love Ottawa. (And for the record? I love Ottawa A LOT!) First, mad props to the Ottawa Public Library.

On photos and covetousness and social media success stories

4 February 2011 How I love the Interwebs

While I love my camera and taking pictures, I’m not a huge gear junkie. I’m mostly happy with the four lenses I have, and the small bag of accessories. I have the kit lens, which I use when I know I’ll need a wider angle and for TtV. I have a telephoto zoom, so I [...]

Six years ago today: My first blog post

2 February 2011 It IS all about me

Six years ago today, on February 2, 2005, I wrote my very first-ever blog post: Okay, so I’ve been reading about blogs for quite some time now. At first, the idea was quaintly geeky, which of course immediately appealed to me. But aside from generally knowing what they were, and stumbling across a few here [...]

An unprovoked attack on Comic Sans font

28 January 2011 How I love the Interwebs

I was in a committee meeting of the boys’ school council recently, and one of the other members presented a letter of some import that would be going home with each child in the school on behalf of school council. It was a very serious letter with a significant call to action (we’re raising funds [...]
