it is with much excitement that i bring you the news that adie loves polly is back.  adie and i {mostly i} will make every effort to post her polaroids every monday.  she has missed sharing her photographs with you so much... please give her a warm welcome back and i read every single comment to her - she just glows - thank you!  if you would like to see her work from last year, click here.

more exciting news... i will start taking sign-ups for the summer photo trade now.  if you are new to The Trade you can check out our rules here and catch up with us here.  so much has changed in the way we did things over the year last year, it is imperative that you read and comply with the posted rules.  we will NOT have a cap on the number of people who sign up this time around.  please sign up here and be sure to do the following {if you miss any of these steps, you will not be included in the trade}:

~ you must email your full name, mailing address and link to your flickr account.  yes, you must have a flickr account to participate this time around.  it makes it fair to all of those involved who take such care photographing their packages for the flickr group pool.  do NOT send your screen name, please send an actual link to your flickr page.

~ you must state in your email that you have read and agree to the rules of the trade as noted here. {again, please disregard the mention of caps on the number of sign-ups accepted}.

note that if you neglect to include any of the above requested information, you will not be assigned a partner in the trade.

*sigh* now that the formalities are out of the way - the theme is obviously... summer!  please submit your request by 22 june - you will be emailed your partner's information on 29 june.  packages should be posted no later than 24 july.  if you miss this trade, we will be hosting a holiday trade this winter as well.  have a wonderful time with this friends...

Well aren't you something else, Addie. I passed this onto my daughter, age 12, who also has a blog. Here is a link to hers. http://skywritingmusic.blogspot.com/

How wonderful to start you with a camera at age 4! You have a great eye for composition and light. Your mom can explain that to you.
