Marit Photography's photostream  

I am a fat skinny, old young, dye job blond, who is happily most days married, and has 5 brilliant and slightly more wacky than most kids. We live in a bermuda triangle with constant chaos a serene life that most would envy. I love to take pictures with my cheap automatic Kodak lovely, high end camera. I hope to upgrade my materials some day, but until then I trust in photoshop my amazing ability with a lens.


Links to some images that were in explore at one time. Hope to have more some day....
1. looking into the window at the fire, 2. ice melting off branch on a foggy day, 3. twins who love to jump in puddles and rain, 4. twins playing in puddles, 5. lovely little lady, 6. kid skateboarding

As a side note, I have children who have their own accounts on flickr. I also have children who sit on my lap while I "play." Because of that, and my own personal preferences, I am very sensitive to any photos that are not rated safe. I stay only in groups that are safe, block people whose streams, groups, or friends I deem innappropriate, and I feel no guilt. I make mistakes in this, I am completely sure! But, I would rather be safe than sorry. I have my own tale to tell on internet weirdos and sex scandals that struck too close to home so I am pretty cautious. Don't be offended. You aren't alone.


I thank you for invitations to other groups, but, although I am not offended by a moderate group, I don't want a picture of my little children posted next to a sexually suggestive or scantily clad person in the same photostream, no matter how well taken or artistic. So, please don't be offended if I don't accept invitations to pools/groups that accept moderate images.


I also screen all people who add me as a contact to check out their photostream and their profile. If I see anything that seems suspicious to me, I will block you quickly. I am not trying to offend, but I feel like I can't be too safe. I do this to protect my children from the few perverts that lurk here. Please know that I don't know that you are one, and am not judging you. I would rather err on the side of caution.


Okay, off my pedestal and soap box. Let's go take some more pictures!


One of my favorite poems ever!! I believe it applies to all creative people and especially to artists of any kind!
We are the music makers
We are the dreamers of dreams
Wandering by lone seabreakers
And sitting by desolate streams
World losers and world foresakers
On whom the pale moon gleams
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world, forever it seems


I take pictures of my kids and the things that please me because I am a sentimental person. But, my faith and my family are what I am all about! So, bear with me, because that will probably come through in all my photos. I hope you enjoy them anyway.


I speak Spanish pretty well, but not like I used to once upon a time as a missionary in South America.... I understand Portuguese well but can't write it. I understand Italian, French and German a little. Anything else? I am lost entirely!
