New Lens

I got a fun new 50 mm fixed lens for my camera and so I've been playing with it the last couple of days! Some ladies asked for some pics of our feet (you know... "how beautiful are the feet...") so I got a little carried away taking feet pictures :) You can see Aashini's cute little anklets (on her cute chubby feet!) :) In our area of South Asia, they give kids these anklets when they start walking (I think so that they can hear where they are) :) So, we bought some before we left to give her when she starting walking... she thinks they're cool :)
My cool friend Lea has almost the same lens that I do and taught me a fun trick tonight - so I had to try it out! I was too lazy to pull out the tripod (and make it look even cooler) but this still looks really cool :) These are the lights on our tree - I made them look like stars! Fun hunh?

Those baby anklets are so cool! Sort of like cowbells for babies. I want some for Abby. And I love your toe rings. Great photos!

I love little baby feet pics. I know Aashini isn't technically a baby though, but she's still got the little toesies! I love the ankle bracelets!! Wish I had thought ahead for Hazel!

hey for everyone else who loved those anklets (and who has a daughter to put them on... sniff), I saw that baby steals has some today. this is apparently the cambodian version but it's pretty similar. pretty anyway. http://www.babysteals.com/20081219_baby_emi_jewelry.php

That's really cool how your new lens made the lights look like stars!

I think it's funny that someone would consider it necessary to put jingly anklets on a baby to hear where they are...My kids are so noisy, I never lose them. No anklets required!! :) They do LOOK really cute though!

Love the feet shots, and I love taking those cool shots with my
35mm camera. I have a small Nikon digital, but just does not take the cool effect pictures. One day I'll get a 35mm digital.
Keep up the great pictures.

I love my 50mm too! Great shots!
What fun pictures! Aashini's anklets are too cute. How long do babies wear them?

Ah- you got a new lens! You'll have to tell me what you think about it sometime soon!! That's one I've been looking at for awhile now! I can't wait to hear all your input! Love the feet pics- you know I have a passion for those little toes too!

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!
