p52: Week 1 – Resolution
Resolution This picture is absolutely nothing special. Not in composition, nor editing quality, nor subject. It’s a picture of my workout shoes. What they represent, however, is my resolution this year to take back my body. I’ve resolved to begin running again, and already I’ve picked this back up twice this week. Tomorrow will be … Continue reading
Green
I’ve long maintained that fall is my favorite season. Overall I still believe that to be true. But here in {what seems to be the mis-nicknamed} “Colorful Colorado” from late fall to early spring it is anything but; the landscape turns various shades of brown and tan, and color – especially my favorite color, green … Continue reading
>Me Friday: Of Necklaces and Hands
> We’re hosting “game night” for a couple of Tony’s work friends and their wives tonight, so I got dressed up. (Don’t get excited – all this means is I showered, put on makeup and did my hair, and pulled on a clean shirt. This is what passes as “dressing up” in my world these … Continue reading
>Day Two: I’m Still Going Strong
> A conversation: Me: “Hey Honey, while you’re at Lowes will you pick up a Shark*? We don’t have a mop and these floors should really be cleaned.” Tony: “What happened to getting down on your hands and knees and scrubbing the floors the good old fashioned way?” Me: “Obviously I haven’t done that in … Continue reading
2011 Goals: Photography
Last January I bought myself a DSLR, and over the past twelve months I’ve learned to use it a bit. But I’m not yet the photographer I want to be, and that encompasses all aspects of photography: not just learning to use the camera, but learning to use it well. And learning to use a … Continue reading
>2010 Photo Evolution: The Conclusion
>When I first got my camera last January I was bound and determined to learn how to use it properly. It’s taken me most of the year – and in this second half of the year it seems I’ve really slacked in the picture-taking department (Hello? I didn’t take the first picture on Christmas this … Continue reading
>30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 26
> Blue Friday I don’t do Black Friday. For someone who’s not interested in shopping on a normal day, and for someone who suffers from an ever-increasing sense of agoraphobia (mild, to be certain, but I really get panicky in large crowds, and even buffets scare me), it’s not something I partake in. There’s no … Continue reading
>Photo Evolution Resumed
>Tony found a bunch of pictures I thought I’d lost for good on his computer tonight, and after returning them to their rightful place on my computer I ended up uploading everything that hadn’t yet been taken care of to my web albums. Including updating my Photo-A-Day web album, which is sadly much smaller than … Continue reading
>Thirty: A Self Portrait
>Tony isn’t much of a photographer. He hasn’t quite figured out how to center his subjects within the frame, though he’s getting better. What rarely occurs to him, though, is to take pictures of other people. Like me. I have very few pictures from either of my pregnancies because I never wanted to ask him … Continue reading
>Day 118: I’ve Got a D Average
> Back when I first got my camera (a Nikon D5000), I decided to immediately begin a 365 project: the goal was to take and process at least one picture every day for the remainder of the year. Since my camera didn’t arrive until January 20th – and I’m a highly linear person who needs … Continue reading
