DailyPhotos > irishmurr  > Photography > Daily Photos (Jan. - June, 2009)
I have a Canon Rebel XT and a EF 28-135mm lens, a EF 75-300mm lens and a EFS 60mm Macro lens (all Canon). I've never really done any pp, but got Photoshop Elements last year and am slowly learning to do some post processing.

I began posting on the daily photos community two years ago and hope that making this effort on a daily basis has helped to improve my photography skills -- but realize that I still have a long way to go! Any suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated.

If anyone would like to contact me, my e-mail is irishmurr57@yahoo.com.

irishmurr > We're members of our local Irish American Club and a friend just gave us a souvenir program from the Club's picnic held in July, 1949.  It was fascinating to read the articles, names of Cleveland Irish elite of that era and the ads -- including the haberdashery "for Dad and the Boys."  This caught my eye under sports:  a Gaelic football match where the Shamrocks were playing the Celtics.  (March 2, 2009)



"The challenge of history is to recover the past and introduce it to the present."
    ~~ David Thelen


BTW, Larry and the Larrettes thank you for all your comments yesterday.  Reading them was almost as much fun as watching the show they put on for us.  :-)
irishmurr > I think Larry is taking his show on the road, so if you're lucky, he might be appearing at a city near you. 

Can you tell being married to this guy for all these years has been a lot of fun?  :-)

"Nobody cares if you can't dance well.  Just get up and dance."
   ~~ Dave Barry
irishmurr > Maeve is like her cousin Johnny, she's fascinated by that baby in the mirror.  (February 28, 2009)



“The eyes are the mirror of the soul."
   ~~ Yiddish Proverb
irishmurr > When I left the house to go to work this morning, it was practically balmy ...... but that had changed drastically by the time I came home.   We only got a few flurries -- just enough to make this interesting pattern on the sandbox.

I'm definitely looking forward to the days when the sun is shining and the kids are playing in the sandbox, instead of me standing there, freezing my butt off, taking a photo of it  ....  (February 27, 2009)



"Sunshine is a welcome thing. It brings a lot of brightness.”
   ~~ Jimmie Davis
irishmurr > A few of you had made comments about pieces and parts of my dailies earlier this week, so ...... those comments, along with the fact that I've been working on Johnny's birthday shots, as well as some of Maeve and Michael, gave me this idea.  (February 26, 2009)





"There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those."
   ~~ Michael Nolan
irishmurr > Thought I'd give you a break from the grandkid shots -- although Maeve was here with us, and eyeing those chicken wings ....  (February 25, 2009)



"Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity."
   ~~ Voltaire
irishmurr > Cousins

Can you tell how I've been spending my time?  (February 24, 2009)








"It's funny that those things your kids did that got on your nerves seem so cute when your grandchildren do them."
   ~~ Anonymous
irishmurr > Brothers.

"A brother shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams."
   ~~ Anonymous
irishmurr > Petals the Clown stopped by to entertain the kids (and adults) at Johnny's party.  (February 22, 2009)




       
  
 
"I don't want to be called 'the greatest' or 'one of the greatest'; let other guys claim to be the best. I just want to be known as a clown because to me that's the height of my profession. It means you can do everything-sing, dance, and above all, make people laugh."
   ~~ Red Skelton
irishmurr > Johnny's birthday party was a huge success!  (February 21, 2009)



"Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake."
   ~~ Anonymous
irishmurr > Party Time!  Can you tell we're all ready for Smiling Joe and Shorty's visit?

Okay, I cannot tell a lie:  we're actually getting ready for Johnny's birthday party.   Our little man is turning two on Monday, so it's going to be a busy weekend around here.  I'll try and check in when I can, but if not, hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  Gotta go .... I'm off to make Shepherd's Pie for 50 ....  (February 20, 2009)




"Most of us can remember a time when a birthday - especially if it was one's own brightened the world as if a second sun has risen."
   ~~ Robert Lynd
irishmurr > I thought I'd better get some photos of Maeve on her tummy before she starts rolling over  and I have another wiggly grandbaby on my hands -- and yes, I'm talking to you, John William.      ;-)

"Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse."
   ~~  Robert A. Heinlein
irishmurr > Last week I did Valentine's photos -- this week it's flower photos.  Luckily, the big guy got me a mixed bouquet.  :-)
 (February 18, 2009)




"Flowers are love's truest language."
   ~~  Park Benjamin
irishmurr > Just another flower shot.  (February 17, 2009)





"When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other."
   ~~ Chinese Proverb
irishmurr > Since it'll probably be a while before the roses in my garden bloom, I thought I'd share another shot of the ones Larry got me for Valentine's Day.  (February 16, 2009)




"I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall."
   ~~ Eleanor Roosevelt
