wee hours

2.22.10

in the stillness

yesterday's not forgotten

totally forgot to post this...blaming it on samuel being miserably sick and not sleeping

indecision...

so...i might not get my photo up before midnight...but i have one, just have to decide which one, samuel is sleeping right now, have to get a few things done before he wakes...be back in a bit

so...not the winner i had expected....i think i am sick of my point and shoot...why can't i have my big camera, but little?

SPOON!

party

today was the valentine's party at jonas' school...i really wish i had thought about it, i would have moved his clothespin in to the focal point...*shrug*....it is nice to have something besides snow and household items to post...

everyone had a great time (i don't know who enjoyed it the most, noelle or jonas) ... samuel slept the whole time -- which was nice i was able to help rather than hinder :)

cookies!

try 1

i always love the oil splotches...not really happy with this, but i didnt have opportunities to photograph today...i will try to revisit this 'idea' again this year

nothing to say

yes snow...again

what can i say...it was either snow, icicles, or household object ...

when in doubt

make it big or zoom in....today i zoomed.

a touch of spring

today my dad brought me a touch of spring!

today's honest to goodness post

so...it has taken me HOURS to get all caught up...but...i am all as up to date as i am getting... phew...at least i got one thing checked off my list.... i really liked this photo, until i took the following photo...but i thought that the blog needed some color...so i am putting them both :)

did you notice...i either get a number of photos that i like and have a hard time choosing one, or i have NONE...feast or famine...*shrug*

one of the missing days

so... i know, lots of snow photos...you gotta use what you've got....since this is taking me entirely too long to get caught up and i didnt come up with a good way to do it, i think my 'which photo belongs to which day' got mixed up a bit....so i give up...but know that this one belonged in the mix somewhere....

2/8 - snow

boooooorrriiiinnnnnggggg!

2/7

so this was so much cooler in person :(

2/1 - cheater

ok...i didnt really have a photo for today...i had this photo of samuel...but i don't really want to include kid photos (unless they are just a small part of the image)

2/6 - after midnight

so...not sure how to choose a date....is it still the same day if i haven't gone to be yet?.... i cant remember, but this was taken around 1 or 2 am ... with 'available' light...my little point and shoot amazes me sometimes - the low light did cause a weird green aberration in the middle *shrug* ...i suppose i could try it in b/w
ok...b/w very nice! ...though the action did brighten it up a bit

2/5

i really do love the photo opportunities that snow provides ... i would love to go spend an afternoon in the park

2/4

ok, i wouldn't hang this up or even print it out...but i like it...i think i need to look harder - i'm going to be inside A LOT over the next few months...i need to 'see' more photo opportunities around me

1/30

if you click on the photos, you will be able to see them better :)

1/29-its all in the details

ok...so the bottom photo is un-altered...but i decided to alter it for the post...but...i think i like the original better...what do you think?

1/28- wysiwyg?

ok...i really really like this one (thank heavens...i might make it the whole year if i don't get a few here and there that i really like)...they are all just shadows of leaves, but i too thought it looked like a bird :)

1/27

apparently i missed this day - drat - didn't even make it one month :(

1/26 - the falcon has flown

good riddance (sorry jeff)... though it did leave a bit of an uneasy feeling as it pulled away

january 25 - not edgar, no crunchy ears

next lame photo...i think i've got to get out more...

Still on temp hiatus

this seems to be a re-occuring theme...water splotches on a windshield at night

We will soon return you to your regularly scheduled program

so this was the first of several (or more) lame photos...but this one really did look cool on the screen of my camera - which makes me think of the photo exhibit where the exhibit had the photos in trays of water and under darkroom lights - i wish i could think of who it was (i even did a search and couldnt find it)

Placeholder

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program

here comes the sun...

...but it never did.

popcorn

it has been a hectic day...just part of a stressful week...but thanks to matt, i have a photo to post and have not broken my streak :D

i really enjoyed spending time together! i'm glad you want to learn how to make popcorn and are going to keep coming back. love you! and thanks for looking at my blog.

on your marks....

as part of my many things that i hope to change/improve this year...keeping our home better ... cleaner, neater...etc. is near the top of the list (i am an AWFUL housekeeper)...several bloggers shared their methods for keeping house : doing a small list of cleaning/organizing each day (same "agenda" each week)....and today was kitchen day....i have been working at it all day (and not feeling like there is much to show for it)...oh well....gotta try something, gotta start somewhere...

are those raindrops ... or...?

i really like this one. there was a photography book that i saw once (before kids when we used to go spend hours in the book stores) that was all streaks of colors from motion blur taken from car windows (at least i think thats what it was)...i tried to find it to link to it...not going to happen tonight.

faster than the speed of light

this photo is a perfect depiction of noelle...she is constantly in motion! ... i had to try to take this a bunch of times because i couldnt even get her to stay within the frame...she is one energy filled, busy gal.

Momentum

so, how many days into this am i? (day 9 - i just checked) ... and i almost threw in the towel...i have a few photos that i took - i haven't decided which i will post... with a major limiting factor of 4 walls - i don't know how i will EVER come up with a photo a day through the winter... ok so i know the problem is that i want each and every photo to be interesting...if its not perfect i hate doing it...BUT i'm not going to quit just yet (hey and i can tell myself kelly is counting on me, im not ready to let her (you) down).... i will probably ask jeff to choose which to post....

.....to be continued.

part duex

should've

well...today was a crappy day...so i hadn't done my photo - hadn't even taken one let alone one worth posting..i was going to cheat and use an extra one from yesterday (since they day is almost over, my hands are full, and i just don't feel like it...)...but i decided to try anyhow... also not going to make it to the top 10 (but i can say the rejects were worse) ... i hope tomorrow is better...i really am hoping to feel like i have a few things on track by the end of the month...that would really make a difference...

with all the beautiful snow that has been falling....as much as i hate the cold...i really really want to spend some time in the park photographing....i love the muffled silence....and i also want to go sled riding and i want to photograph the kids sledding, etc. ... just like so many other things right now, i want to be able to do it all ... do it all at the same time ...and do it all right now

amazing

snowflakes are so amazing! i love when you can see each individual one in all of its glory... i wish i could take photographs like this...


simply amazing!

headache

thought i'd better get this one posted...because today ... well isnt going so well...so there *brushing off hands* done...che-eck.

nailed

well...today's photo is not going to be up for the top 10 strong images of the year award...im really disappointed...but i was having a moment of "shyness" and didnt take the time to get the photo that i wanted... i definitely have a issue with self-consciousness - especially with my photography...and even doing this daily thing is causing me to stretch this year (i can't stand to not be a fabulous photographer since i went to school for it...its hard for me to admit how jealous i am when there are so many untrained people who take more fabulous photos than me)...but perhaps this will be a year of stretching...i have several areas that i hope to be able to say that i improved in before the end of the year...thank goodness i have lots of time to work on it...and matt, yes, i am going to try to write more about the photos to instead of just posting them (though that is what i would rather do)...so....

tonight i went to small group...i am very excited to get to know this group of people/friends better (yes even those i am related to)...and hopefully learn some important stuff too....anyhow, small group meets in the youth room and my guess is that the kids nailed things that they wanted to give to jesus to the cross...i thought it looked cool...apparently so did our group leader...he showed me that he took a photo of it too (i liked his better - *sigh*)

3... 3....3 for the price of one

(or "i am a horrible decision maker")

so....i couldn't decide which version to post...i think i like the last one best (used the auto-age button on my camera - much faster that doing it manually on photoshop -hmm...can it be considered manual when done with a computer?) what do you think?
