July 7, 2009

The Barish families were gathering at Baker park for photo shooting. Angela and her children come from Texas to visit with Nancy and her children for weeks. Justin was so good to entertain his baby cousin, Jadon when Angela and Nancy had to step off for my photo shooting. Perfect weather made my photo shooting possible. All of them rewarded with a good treat of chocolate fondue with fruits that evening for their a lot of patience. I enjoyed being with them!!

My snapshots in Florida

2009-06-27T23:26:00.015-04:00

These pictures I took in Florida when I had a vacation with my children, my sis Gaye and his boys, my mother and Jessica Israel. When there was a quiet time, I took my camera with me to take some silly pictures. Some were without their knowledge. Some wanted to pose for me. June 2009

I took more pictures of Nancy Barish and her two children at Cunningham Falls in Thurmont, MD on May 30, 2009. I am still so impressed by how both Justin and Naomi can be willing to pose for me for hours. I told Nancy I would put three favorite pictures in my photo blog but instead, I had eight of them.

Namoi said, "Should I dip into water?"

Justin, you look silly!!

Darryl Israel and his children came to eat with us on Memorial Day. Dan and Darryl's friendship have been lasted for a long time since they grew up together at Maryland School for the Deaf. We had a fire pit that gave us a comfortable place to sit, watch, relax and chat. Of course, when I see Darryl..."Food" is the usually subject we discuss....u won't be believe Darryl got good recipes. He made asparagus and zucchini casserole. It was splendid! Darryl, will u consider to be a chef? Think about it! :)

My hubby's birthday last Tuesday. He is not a bit of looking old! Happy Birthday and stay healthy, Dan!

Britt, Corinna Hill and Bethany Weiner had a ball for my photo shoot at a car junk yard. I had to hurry to shoot pictures because the owner wanted to kick us out before the business closed in the early afternoon. I would like to go back and shoot more pictures. Maybe I will if girls are willing to do it again. :)

Carol Goldberg graduated at Gallaudet University on May 15, 2009. We were so thrilled for her accomplishments! Wish her the best of luck in her future!

I took pictures of Nancy Barish and her two children, Justin and Naomi today at one of the parks. Both children were so easy to work with. They were willing to pose for me even we stayed for a long time. Nancy, u must be proud of your darling children! Already lookin' forward to taking more pictures.

Goodwill Bike

2009-05-09T21:12:00.006-04:00

Britt, Bethany Weiner and Corinna Hill went to Goodwill and discovered this old, abandoned bike. Bethany decided to take it for $10. When they arrived my house, Corinna had to leave to have a visit with his brother. Britt and Bethany decided to wash and clean the dirty bike. Bethany's parents did not believe Bethany bought it for 10 dollars. What a good deal! (May 9, 2009)

Glen Echo Park

2009-04-07T23:04:00.003-04:00

My Mom and I decided to stop by Glen Echo Park. It was used to be very old amusement park. They have some remains of the Dentzel Carousel, the Yellow Barn, the Bumper Car Pavilion, the Spanish Ballroom, the Arcade Complex and others. They currently use these facilities for art and education classes. They also offer dance programs. Carousel will be open in May. I think it will be cool to go during evening hours to ride the carousel then join for dancing.

the Seminary at Forest Glen

2009-04-07T22:08:00.006-04:00

My Mom and I went to the Seminary at Forest Glen in Silver Spring, MD. We fell in love with their historic place...very beautiful architectural buildings. They preserved some statues. They have lost some buildings that cant be restored due to a lack of budget. Go to: http://www.operant.com/Seminary/main_page.html to get more information. However, there is a housing development to create condos, townhouses and apartments to preserve the campus (http://www.nationalparkseminary.com/). I was told the completion will be made in June.

This is my Mom.

I found this Indian statue across the street from the Seminary. I thought it is so cool to take a picture when an Indian watches windows.

This building is occupied with some residents.

Jenni and Scott Smith came to Frederick to stay for a while. Jenni loves to have some photographers who are deaf and CODA to take pictures of her and her family. She asked me to take pictures of them in downtown which I did. Something they can have pictures from Frederick area.

Below picture of their dogs at Baker Park. Their dogs are so cute and adorable. They make you want to hold them!

I love Jenni's idea about the cap cover their faces. Actually, they were kissing! :)

Ain't it look so cool especially with both dogs look at me?

I love it especially with a view of the bottom of Mural bridge. They look so pleasant when I took pictures of them.

So behind with my photo blogs

2009-02-10T13:39:00.004-05:00

I had not been to this photo blog for a while since my family and I moved into a new home. I focused on home renovation. I was back and forth between taking pictures and painting the house. Here are the pictures I took of some families since November.

Jessica Israel, Senior pictures

2008-11-03T11:11:00.003-05:00

Here are three pictures of Jessica. We went to different locations in downtown Frederick. Downtown has a plenty of places to take pictures.

We went on Sunday where there was a quiet day...that made my picture taken become possible. For example, we were on the train track. See below.

I like the way she smiles!

Barb Davis, the mother who assisted me. It was very helpful to have her! Thanks, Barb!
