My son has started using my camera as his toy camera and I am posting here some of his sample shots.
Watch out, Richard Avedon!

Cool Momma
Being the vain ass that I am, I admit that my mind is frequently preoccupied with insecurities that in the chaos of juggling work and family, I have "let myself go" and now look like, heaven forbid, a MOTHER!
Of course I am proud to be a working mom. There are so many cool role models out there who represent us well: Heidi Klum, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, and so on. They make it look easy and effortless.
Then there are those of us who live on Planet Earth and try our best to look decent as we chase after toddlers while replying to emails on our Blackberries. I, if you haven't already guessed, belong to the latter.
In pursuit of becoming a "cool mommy" (those mommies who don't look like mothers and instead look like hip chicks who balance a job and kids), here are some looks I dream of pulling off in my daily grind:

The Difference Between Men and Women
NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Loser, and Shit for Brains.
EATING OUT
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
