With the house prep and move, some things needed to take a back seat, like this blog. Happily, I have still been working on my 365 over at Flickr and I finished it. I finished it on time. I was diligent about doing a photo a day until the summer, then a few times I [...]
Gummi Bears There are weeks where the images just aren’t there for me. Same space, same access and nada, nothing comes. It’s frustrating but I try to plow through it out of fear of not creating. I know that not every image I post on Flickr for the 365 are ones that I’d want to print [...]
Strawberry I love this photo. There is no story or underlying context. It’s simply a strawberry. I shot it using the light in the refrigerator and placed the strawberry on a white piece of paper for a seamless background. I edited to keep enough green in the stem and the red to still be delicious. [...]
Penguin I love books but lately I have been spending my time reading my twitter feed, blog posts, news stories, and facebook updates. The reading I’m doing only ranges from snippets to bite-sized pieces, I haven’t hunkered down with a novel in a very long time. I even have a ridiculously large catalogue to peruse [...]
I blame the completist in me, I have to continue this, and I’m am determined to catch up. Week 31 is the week of July 31st. Terrible that I wasn’t able to find 20 minutes to choose a photo at that time at say a little bit more about it. Palm This is one of [...]
Gift Chris and I are in the process of giving ourselves the gift of a new home. Escaping the suburban neighbourhood and finding breathing space, quiet, and land. I currently live in a townhouse, I can’t walk the perimeter of my own property; it’s been a dream of mine to be able to do that. [...]
I participated in the 4th Annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk on October 2nd. What’s a photowalk? It’s exactly what is sounds like, you go for a walk and take photos while you do. This one organized by Scott Kelby who asks for volunteers to sign up as leaders and they create a route around their [...]
Silver Lining Last week was a creative bore and other things occupied my mind. This photo didn’t have any tweaks, it’s what was captured. I often fail to see the silver linings, I am quite fatalistic when it comes to my world view. Black or white and very narrow. Listen to me rant and you’ll [...]
Feet Saturday, relaxing after an afternoon adventure. Somewhere in the last few weeks, I passed the halfway mark for the 365. I’m doing well, sometimes my images are late by a day, but not beyond that. It’s been a relatively calm year (so far!!) and it’s been easy to keep pace. These past few weeks, [...]
Grasp. Christopher’s hands get dirty when he’s polishing silver in the workshop. The polishing compound becomes fine and black, it gets embedded in his skin. I wanted to use his hand in one of my 365 photos. Why this position? I don’t know. How did I come up with it? I don’t know. Probably one [...]
