So recently I realized that the speed at which one can download using a public wifi signal is significantly faster than one can upload images while using a personal high speed internet signal. A lot faster! While taking my grandmother to a recent procedure I tested out the wifi signal at the hospital and uploaded an entire gallery in a matter of minutes. I had been spending days uploading pictures for galleries. I would hit upload turn to a page in the book I was reading, read a few pages and wait for it to upload, and then repeat the process. This was tedious. Very.

So here I sit at Barnes and Noble typing out this blog. I came to upload a gallery and decided to go ahead to do the blog post while I was here since uploading will be faster. I may reserve a spot by the window for future use. There is a glare, but it is warmer by the windows since it seems to be freezing in here most of the time.

So here's to faster uploads and free wifi!!

I had the chance recently to snap some shots of this lovely young lady, Shaina. After shooting a few of her I asked her mom to join in. I got some shots of them relaxed and laughing. A great mother/daughter moment.

Shaina was very relaxed in front of the camera. No forced smiles and just did what I asked. Easy, peasy. Cute shoes too! Thanks ladies for making that short time with you fun.

I love to get pictures of people genuinely laughing. It's so great to see.
