A collection of transformation, identity, and the stories that shape who we become.
THE BOOK of BECOMING
a living collection
That’s my girl! A 5K for a 6 year old is a HUGE thing! And with all the meltdowns we went through I wasn’t sure if we’d be doing another one together. But to my surprise, she told me she can’t wait to do the next one with me! 🙂
To those of you that love our photo recipes and exercises, here they are!
For the shots of Pascaline and I pinning on her number, giving each other high fives, lining up at the start line, Brian had his shutter speed at 320. He kept his aperture at 2.8 and ISO at 100. He shot all these photos with the zoom lens.
But when we were running, Brian needed a fast shutter speed to shoot us in motion with us also being sharp and crisp instead of blurry. So his shutter speed went up to 640, aperture stayed 2.8, and his ISO stayed at 100. The key is the faster shutter speed for motion or action photos, like soccer games or kids riding their bikes. If your shutter speed is too slow, your child will be blurry.
Try experimenting with Shutter Speed!
1. Put your camera in TV mode (this is shutter speed priority where you determine the shutter speed and the camera decides the aperture for you).
2. Have your kids run around in the backyard. (tough one huh! :))
3. Take a couple photos at a slow shutter speed (maybe a 1/100). Then speed up your shutter speed to 1/600 and see what happens. Is the shot with the faster shutter speed more crisp than the first?
4. Remember, play around with your settings trying different things all the time. This is the fastest way to get a better understanding of your camera’s shutter speed, aperture and ISO!

Way to go Girls!! Pascaline, thats so awesome that you were able to finish your first 5K…that is such a huge accomplishment. I’m not sure that most of us reading this could finish, nevermind do it in 44:57. We’re very proud of you!!
April 23rd, 2007 at 5:34 am
Oh my goodness! That is so awesome! I don’t think I could have done a race that long! You guys looked so great together and I am sure everyone is very proud of you Pascaline. You are a very special girl!
April 23rd, 2007 at 6:21 am
Wow! Good job, Pascaline! A 5K is a hard feat, but you made it! You should be so proud of yourself for keeping at it and deciding for yourself to finish the race. Many people would have just given up when they got tired, so that makes what you did extra special!
April 23rd, 2007 at 7:21 am
Go Glitter Girls!! What a wonderful race Pascaline! And it’s so cool that you did it for such a great cause. I can’t wait to see pictures of your next race!
April 23rd, 2007 at 7:34 am
Congratulations Pascaline & Me Ra!
I’m so impressed! Pascaline – your success is motivating ME to run more regularly. And I’m 30 years older than you!
Well done!
April 23rd, 2007 at 7:41 am
Way to go “Glitter Girls”!! Pascaline – I am impressed by you! So many great things in life can come because you decide not to give up and to go for it. You did a great job for a great cause!
April 23rd, 2007 at 8:19 am
To the incredible little Pascaline: Congratulations on such an accomplishment at such an early age! I am very impressed : ) When you saw the finish line did you feel like you could just sprint there because you were so excited? I used to be a runner and at every race I could run so fast at the end because I was SO excited to be almost finished : ) Can’t wait to meet you someday. Say hi to your mom for me!
April 23rd, 2007 at 8:28 am
This is from Pascaline to all of you:
Thanks so much everyone for sending me all these messages! And that was so kind of you!
I got to go to school now, LOVE PASCALINE! 🙂

Congratulations Pascaline! You go girl! I have a five year old daughter myself. Maybe next year, when she is six like you, I’ll try to take her out for a race. Thanks for the inspiration!
April 23rd, 2007 at 9:37 am
5K??? Wow, Pasc… I wish I could have watched you cross the finish line! You’re gonna have to tell me all about it. You go girl! Love you!
April 23rd, 2007 at 10:13 am
Amazing! Pascaline must be so proud of herself for doing something so grown-up with her mom! I am completely impressed!
April 23rd, 2007 at 10:15 am
Great Job Pascaline, you did a fabulous job. You set a goal, pushed forward and when it was hard you didn’t give up. You are going to go a long way in life.
(Good job to Mom too, it is hard not to give in and let them give up, what a great example you are )

GO Pascaline!! I am 33 years old and have never done a 5k. Looks like I am going to have to get my tooshie out there. You have inspired me.
You go Girl!!
April 23rd, 2007 at 11:25 am
WAY TO GO PASCALINE!!! I don’t think I could have run a 5K, and you did it! That’s awesome. I will have to see about signing myself and my 7 and 5 year old sons up for a family race like that for such a great cause. Thanks for inspiring me Me Ra and Pascaline!
April 23rd, 2007 at 12:07 pm
I’m waiting for the day I can do something like that with my daughter! You must be the proudest mom on earth right now.
Way to go Pascualine!
Thanks for the post Me Ra. I’m always inspired when I read your blog.
April 23rd, 2007 at 12:36 pm
That’s my girl!!!
While the “Glitter Girls” ran their race, the “Hot Chocolate Boys” (Blaze and I) drank their cocoa and ate their doughnuts.
And we made really good time if I may say so myself…
April 23rd, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Pascaline! You rock!!! I read your mom’s blog all the time and this is one of my all time most favorite entries! Next year you should wear tiaras to go with your glitter! Way to go and hang in there when it got tough!
April 23rd, 2007 at 1:35 pm
Pascaline,
Not everyone can finish a 5k, and YOU did, you should be very proud of yourself. You did a great job! 🙂

April 23rd, 2007 at 9:58 pm
That’s so awesome Pascaline, YOU GO GIRL! I’m super proud of ya!
April 23rd, 2007 at 10:44 pm
That’s my beautiful Pacaline . . . running with the wind in your hair and a twinkle in your eyes! Did you and momma have fun telling stories while you ran, you have to tell grammie all about it!
MeRa you are such a wonderful mom – encouraging your children by showing them how to ‘break through the barriers’ and slowing down to lead them, not push them. You continue to be an inspiration to me!
Hey ‘glitter girls’, maybe next year grammie can join your run (you might have to slow down for me Pascaline)and Papa can have hot chocolate with the boys! I’m going to start training!!
Love you both ~ grammie (^;^)
April 23rd, 2007 at 10:55 pm
You guys are the BEST!! Brian, Pascaline and I are all overwhelmed at how many of you left posts for her! I wish you could have seen her smile, ear to ear, as she read these today!
Thanks so much! Thanks a million times! All your words are like sprinkled sugar on our favorite dessert!
April 23rd, 2007 at 11:05 pm
PASCALINE! My wife and I are so proud of you! Good job! Youre gonna have to make a kids health video with mom next time!
April 24th, 2007 at 9:26 am
Wow!!! 5KKKKKs!!!!! I am so proud of you both! I can’t even walk a MILE without a meltdown, so I am extremely impressed!!! Yea for you both!!!
April 24th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
Way to go Pascaline!!! You are an inspiration to us couch potatoes…think I will sign up for a 5k! The last one I did was 2 years ago. If you are ever running in Maine, let me know…would love to run with you 🙂
Say hello to your mom, dad and brother for me!
April 25th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
YAY Pascaline! How awesome that you finished the 5K! I hope you do it again next year!
April 27th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
Pascaline you did sooooo awesome!
That’s nice that J Sandifer invited you to run in Maine. Jay is a great guy – but his tummy is not as big as your kitty cat’s. Now she really is a couch potatoe!
Maybe you should take her on your next run: )
PS. Tell your daddy that he did awesome on these special pictures!
April 28th, 2007 at 6:57 pm
I ran my very first 5k last year and know how big that is for a 34 year old, nevermind for a little girl! How cool are you guys? Keep it up, you are inspiring me to register for my next race now! I may even do it with my little girl!
May 3rd, 2007 at 4:11 pm
Pascaline… you are my hero darling!!!
🙂
May 5th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
What a great story! Pascaline – you did awesome! I’m quite jealous. I really should train so I can run a 5K. You’re an inspiration. Me Ra – you continue to impress me – as a mother, a wife, a photographer, and generally. Thank you for sharing your life through your blog…
