A Place For Everything and Everything in Its Place

1. Sophia is learning to use parts of her body besides her bowels.

2. She is starting to get the idea that her hands are under her control.

3. Which means that she can make them go where she wants.

4. Which is in her mouth.
Seriously, taking some pictures of babies is a thing unto itself. There’s very little contrast in baby skin (no sun damage, no wrinkles, no tattoos), so adjusting an image according to its histogram the same way you would a photo of an adult give you a total mess. (Witness the way-wrong hair color against death palor skin in this photo.) I finally figured out that I should leave relatively few dark pixels in the image and not worry about everything bunching right up against overexposed. One pleasant side effect is that you can see a lot more definition in Sophia’s fairly-dark eyes. And I like her eyes a lot.
