KODAK MOMENT of the Day

My son-in-law, grandson and a friend at the shore. It was at that 'golden' time............sunset.

Hi! My name is Brooke Clemmons and I am a kindergarten teacher in Panama City Beach, Florida. I snapped this picture after decorating my car for our school parade!  It had been months since seeing my students due to the coronavirus and I thought decorating my car with lots of bright balloons would bring a BIG smile to their faces! It was such a great time and exactly what my teacher heart needed! Thank you for reaching out!

Sincerely,

Brooke Clemmons

Trying to watch TV with my six month daughter 

Our last “in person” school day of the year was Thursday, March 12th. None of us knew we’d be out the rest of the year, and it’s been hard on everyone!  As the PE teacher of over 500 students, I love being able to have a connection with all of them.  It’s so strange to go from seeing all of those students in one building, to only seeing some with the help of technology at home.  For the month of April, I mailed a birthday note and balloons to the 51 students who would celebrate their birthday that month.  Once the weather got nice, I partnered up with our art teacher, Mrs. Belanger.  She made a design with each students name on the envelope, while I wrote a birthday note from the two of us and included some balloons for them to do for an activity at home.  Instead of mailing them, I decided to go for long walks in our school neighborhood once a week to personally deliver them.  Being able to actually see some of my students and their families made me extra grateful each week.  It’s those little things that make such a big impact.  We plan to continue this into the summer!

taking advantage of social distancing I made sure in this quarantine to create unforgettable moments with my son

To all teachers who are going out of their way to make sure their students are still learning despite the challenging circumstances, we would like to say a big THANK YOU!

Un moment A la plage du Havre où la nature nous rappel sa beauté! 

After the french quarantine, this photo was taken during the first street skate session with my friend Adrien.
The occasion to grab my Pentax 6x7 and cruise skateboarding the streets of Lille, north of France.
During the session we were talking about the quarantine and saying that it was "behind us" and so we wanted to do photos taken from the back of the subject ... here is an extract of this ! 

Me and Buddy have only been paddle boarding together a couple of months but he loves it! He’s a 9 year old Dalmatian that is terrified of water - but the board lets him enjoy the water without getting wet. 

Enjoying the last minutes of summer sun light at the beach in Uruguay

Thé joy of being able to go out to make sunsets by the sea. The sky changes every evening and when it’s reflected In the sea it’s a mirror picture.

I came home from work last weekend and saw the two of them riding around on the lawnmower in the backyard.

When I walked to the backyard my son wanted to come say hi to me. So I picked him up, we said hello, and then he waddled back over to his dad on the lawnmower. Gesturing to be picked up, Cody picked him up and sat him on his lap. I pulled out my phone to take a couple pictures, and after taking a couple Carter leaned into his dad for a kiss, and I was able to capture the moment you see here.

This picture is a wonderful representation of the love and bond they share.

Une soirée au coucher du soleil dans un champs de blé... 

Dreaming about the beach.

It was my best friend Julia’s birthday and her favorite flower is the sunflower. I surprised her by taking her to a sunflower field and every moment was nothing but pure joy. 

Beautiful day for enjoy the water and sunshine.

Picnic evening by the beach my daughter, Montaine was watching the sunset with his guitar 

Young girl who jumps from the cliff. I triggered at the right time with a 150mm lens open at 5.6 at 1/320 s and 100 iso. I'm lucky.

This moment captures a glimpse of Xander Cage, my little ridgeback pup! No matter what, when he sleeps by me or on me, he always stretches out his front leg and gives me a hug! He can be a little rascal but what baby isn’t? He is full of warmth and cuddles! I ruv you Xander Cage❤️

Mon horloge biologique étant calée aux aurores je profite très régulièrement de la Lueur Matinale à la recherche de scènes ensoleillées.
Ce matin là "Le public" était également présent pour admirer la brume Gâtinaise au lever du soleil.

My biological clock being set at dawn I regularly take advantage of the Morning Light in search of sunny scenes.
This morning "The public" was also present to admire the Gâtinaise mist at sunrise.

Just taking pictures of our two amazing children . They are 2 and 3 and no matter what’s going on in the world they are always a source of joy . 

We took an evening stroll through the streets of Munich and captured the last sunlights. 

I didn’t know this picture was being taken when it was. What a sweet moment. A beautiful reminder. 
Went on a mid-morning walk yesterday. 
On Monday, during our family devotional time we talked about paths. From Proverbs 4:14-19 , 22:6. 
Danny and I asked questions like “what are the two ‘paths’ of life that we can choose? What are they like?” 
While I was referencing Matthew 7:13-14 ; about the small gate and narrow path, that only few would actually find. And how the Bible says that more would walk the wider / broad / easier path (the enemy’s path, I called it)...
De’Angelo had a question. 
“What happens if you get lost and you go on the enemy’s path?” 
A question that, from a 5 year old at 9am I certainly wasn’t expecting. Danny and I answering him back between us. 
We told him that “God is always ready to lead us in the path of righteousness just like our Bible verses we are memorizing tells is (psalm 23) and if someone gets lost. They can always ask for forgiveness and ask the Lord to lead them back in the right path.” 
He had a long “oooooh.” 
And the sweet thinking face he puts on. 
Danny making eye contact with me, “that was a good question. ?” 
So when I found this picture was taken and saw the path we were walking on together it was almost like a wink from God. I had immediately remembered the devotion from the day before. 
I am not quite sure why, but I felt pressed to share. Maybe you feel lost. Maybe you didn’t even know there were two paths to begin with. I don’t know where you are walking right now in the moment. 
But God does. And it matters to Him where you are walking. Because YOU matter to Him. 

P.S. 
During this picture De’Angelo had been sharing with me how big he thought the trees were. That I (Desirée) was big but he said the trees were even bigger. Why? And I said, “well, because God wanted them to be that big baby.” 

And just like that, 
Teaching moments happen. About God. About the Bible. Teaching me. Teaching him.

A medium format point and shoot camera, a 120mm TriX400 roll, Napoli, a woman, the sea and... That's all !

Just a quick kodak moment in a photographer's day :)

Quiétude 

Life's not perfect but it's a good one. Enjoy the moments

It takes 100 shots to get one perfect picture but those imperfect pictures make the best memories. 

My partner lives on the other side of the country so this winter and spring we got a handful of disposable Kodak cameras and film for my 35mm SLR and shot a bunch of our favourite moments to keep us feeling connected when we are apart. Thank you Kodak!   Morgan Evelyn

A day without electronics lead us to Anahuac's National Wildlife Refuge. I took this photo to capture my children, enjoying nature's beauty. Michael 11yrs, Xavier 7yrs, and Kayla 8yrs. 

The light of sunset on the Potomac River casts a soft light on a boat in a quiet cove. 

When the clouds started rolling over and the rain started pouring, we decided there was no better time to grab our yoga mats and outside. There is no better way to end a stressful day than yoga overlooking a beautiful view, in all the elements!

Korbin was playing around on his sisters skateboard, and thought he was pretty cool when he worked out he could do (in his words) *a cool trick*. 

Just a chef doing what she loves best ❤️

Baby is teething and finally found something to chew on 

Golden hour in Paris ?

Quarantined Family Fourth

The best reward after a full day of hiking, looking over Lake Garibaldi from Panorama ridge. A sunset I will never forget!

friYAY? hope your day contains a “sunrise, & sunset repeat”?✨

My friend Thomas and I had just started our road trip on the island Senja in northern Norway, when this crazy evening light of a summer polar night started glowing. Thomas was going berserk with his mobile camera, and I just had to capture him capturing this Kodak Moment.

One fine moment between sisters on our vacation in Denmark. 

In time of happiness, we celebrate. 
In times of a pandemic we mourn and pray for the people in need... 
Little things in our everyday yet so profound in nature.
Maybe it’s us being a parents but we hope that more than ever that the future for our next generation brings happiness and greater things!

To all the children of mankind: Be yourself, make mistakes, try new things and break the social norms we all abide by, love and be loved and don’t ever forget to say “please” and “thank you.” Everyone will always remember these magic words. 

Kodak love from Tokyo

I was at the beach with my children, The sun blaring, no wind it was beautiful. I was just taking random pics of my kids and the waves when this  couple caught my eye, struggling to pull their kayak into the water. The waves crashing into them as they tried to push pass. 

During a hike in Corsica, a magical moment above everything.

When I tickled my daughter so hard we both cried from laughing, and she yells “I pee in my pull ups!”

Since quarantine has started, I have had to come up with clever ways to express my passion for photography at home, one of those being puppy photoshoots with my dog. On a warm, summer day, I photographer my dog's innocent gaze with his ears perked up towards the camera. My photo expresses his energetic, spunky personality trapped in a little dog's body. 

I've spent most of the lockdown in Jeffrey's bay, South Afrika, hanging out with Bruce Gold.

Bruce and I made a deal; I would make him jam and he will let me join him whenever and take pictures of him. We met in the mornings, as Bruce went to surf, and just after he came back.
I feel so lucky to have met him.

The Cinque Terre is a unique place with magical villages between olive and wine fields, with colorful houses and beautiful people surrounded by the sea.

Country style wedding of niece and her chosen one...

Sometimes we see the most beauty by choosing the road less traveled. Here is the scarred and burnt wasteland of the recent Australian bushfires. Amongst the coal and barren trees beauty and growth is once again rising from the ashes to create new life. 

Enjoying beach solidarity in Guam with my two favorite guys 

Un moment magique avec mon amoureux et notre Maya. Les lavandes de Valensole, ca restera toujours unique 

Mu daughters enjoying the park on a Sunday morning. 

We always use our analog camera and film Kodak to make those beautiful moments.

She likes to look out the window!

I'm an ultra runner. In our training we meet early in the woods where we run. This morning I was standing by the lake, waiting for my running mate to arrive. Meanwhile, the sunrise began. An amazing and beautiful moment that I took the time to photograph while the light was absolutely magical.

A last minute road trip to Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada with my beautiful wife Hannah left us both marveling at some of nature’s precious gifts. 

Two visiting workers near the Baltic sea, found a place with a beautiful view for a heartfelt conversation.

Through my eyes as a father. 

Life has been good seeing my son’s personality come through over the last two years and half. I hope that he learns to be kind and embraces the beauty life has to offer.

Colors: The bright, subtle and dark nature. These unique colors and shades bring happiness to our daily lives and comfort us when in need. To a beautiful start to our summer in Tokyo! 

Cold, wet and windy - on this day the red jacket was definitely warranted.

Paradise found.

They want to check which is faster, running or cycling!

Go hiking with friends and then enjoy moments in the river.
