Nora continues to look faaaa-bulous in all her new clothes. Today she hit a milestone: she had her first real laugh. She’s been smiling a lot more lately, but this was an actual "ha ha" giggle. Needless to say, her mother and I were overcome with joy. I think the reason that it’s so difficult to capture a laugh or smile in a photograph or video is that, aside from pleasure gained from digestive tract pressure release, she requires a true eye-to-eye human connection to smile at the moment. The camera breaks that connection. Not to mention the Pavlovian punishment of a big flash in the face whenever she comes close to a smile…
I love hats. Hats (not all) do great things for the aesthetics of the human face, in my opinion.
Put that camera down and hug me!
Fine, I’ll just go to sleep, then.
Red and white shorts.
Running in place.
Pink dress with stylish white sweater. Ladies keep their feet together.
Goofing around. This is probably the best captured smile so far.
Nora wishes you a great weekend.








No Flash: On mine I physically hold the flash thingy from flipping up while taking the picture. My smart camera knows it will have no flash and the computer adjusts levels making a better picture than having a flash sometimes.
Physically holding the flash down is probably the wrong way to do it. A flash is necessary for Nora photography because she moves so darn fast.
