The wedding at La Caille went great, thanks for all the encouragement. I don't usually share my client stuff on this blog, but whatever. Here are two of the first four I've edited. So random. haha!
We spend Sunday afternoon and Monday taking advantage of some much needed R&R with our friends at their cabin near Park City. THanks Matt and Celeste for the fun getaway!I would post some pics, but I didn't take any other than this random one of some rain on the window. Sometimes you just need a break from the camera.
So anyway, I will hopefully have a life again someday, it would really be great to just hang out and be a mom for a while! Lots and lots of editing and catching up the photo blog is on the docket this week, and next week I am off to SEATTLE for some fun with friends and family (and of course some photography- I should have a few family shoots as well as my first SEATTLE WEDDING!!). So much for hanging out... =)

ReplyDeletea good opposing view on your very old post concerning Stephenie Meyer's book, Twilight:
ReplyDeleteher analysis of the story is horrible, if she is going to support a feminist ideology fine, but at least support it with facts from the book other than comparing it to a most likely bogus study. do you honestly think a little girl would say "be patient with him " if she is smart enough to use that sort of vocabulary, you would think that she would not me influenced by an obviously fake story. If she would come to conclusions like that it would have to be influenced frequently by an outside source. For example, parent are always telling their children to be nice to others and that they may be mean just because they have insecurities, etc. and that eventually they will be nice to you and you will have a really good friend and will be glad you were nice to them in the first place. Don't blame books or movies that support these ideas because they have been fed to us ever since we were young and the authors have been fed these ideas too and have merely incorporated them in a story.
Um, how very random. All I can say is that I find it very interesting that some people are so in love with a fictitious character that they cannot take a bit of criticism about this silly book, and then feel the need to comment about it anonymously on my blog. Opinions are always welcome on my blog, but please have the courtesy to own up to them.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I saw the videotaped interview myself, so it was not some "bogus study" I was referring to. I also cannot agree that a five year old who has the word "patient" in her vocabulary automatically should have the insight to interpret gender role undertones in cartoons. Sorry "anonymous," (whoever you are) that was a stretch.
Third, I agree that some of these ideas have been fed to us via many sources for decades. However, I firmly believe that writers have a responsibility to their readers and should be held to higher standards than your average joe, since they are in a position to influence people exponentially. We have brains- let's use them to question certain standards and improve our own lives as well as the lives of those around us. If everyone just accepted the beliefs of the majority, we'd probably still believe the world is flat and where we sit on the bus would still be indicative of our race.
the end. really, I never want to have another discussion about twilight again. no need to waste any additional time thinking about it.
P.S. for all my friends who loved this book, really, good for you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. We can still be friends. sorry, I just did not like it. Call me crazy.
