I love the first one, Martha! Classic! Great bokeh in the second one. Too close for my "taste" in the third!

...and great lighting in the last! Very cool stuff!

Yeah, but most "normal" people wouldn't go to their grandmother's 90th birthday party and come away with closeups of cake being eaten and freaky dolls!

The little girl is just a dynamite shot! Super! The cake has made me hungry....off to snack on something sweet.

Three years ago, I took the "normal" pictures at a similar event. I like yours a lot better.

I love that first shot. It almost looks like she's waiting to place her drink order. Thanks for the share.
