project 365 - a note

.


umm, there's a bit of a backlog in the process.  I WILL be posting pictures for each day, I just might post a week's worth all at once mmkay?  I have hundreds of photos tp go through and edit and post.  It will get done, but not right now. 

project 365 days 9 and 10

So, yes. It appears that I have missed a few days of posts. That's how I roll.

In the interest of having this project take only one year instead of 3 or 4 I'm going to post a few day's worth right now.  So enjoy.  I cannot wait until this cold, dark winter is over and we can spend more time outside where the light is so much nicer for pictures.

concentration

c.o.l.d.

You might notice that these are not great pictures.  It's true, I know.  They sure are cute kids though, arent't they? 

I am trying to accept the fact that I am not perfect (ha! soooo not perfect!) and just post the day's best photo.  Some days the best photo is crap.  So  . . . yeah. Here are a few crap photos.  Hopefully by the end of this they will be much better.

project 365 day 6 - Loneliness

Lonliness

I'm not really happy with this photo - I wish there was more contrast, but it was a white chair on the snow covered lawn  so . . . thank goodness for the rust I guess?  Still, there is something about it.  I'm also trying not to post cute pictures of my kids every day. Because, you know, people get sick of that kind of thing.

project 365 day 6 - My Cake!

My Cake!

Jack said his first two-word sentence today. How exciting.  It was "my cake" or more accurately  " mmmyyyyy caaaaaaaaaaaaaaakke!!!" yep, he was a little excited. Then a little over-excited and then suddenly miserable.  It's tough being a toddler, apparently.

project 365 day 5 - Weekend WIP

left sock

A work in progress . . . a cashmere sock. I knit it's mate about a year ago and have vowed to take the time to finish the pair before Valentine's Day.  Of this year.  That's in two weeks.  I figure even if Valentine's Day is a disappointment (which is quite possible, the hubs and I are really bad at being romatic) I'll be wearing fabulous cashmere socks.

project 365 day 4

comfy

The world's oldest dog.  He's not allowed on the furniture because he pees his furry little britches.  This is what I found when I returned home today. Nice Bruno, real nice. At least he's sleeping in a basket of diapers, I guess.

p.s. yes, those are TOTALLY christmas pillow covers. Yes, I do realize it's almost February.

project 365 day 3

sorting

Sorting snaps . . . with Jacks's help.  Dangerous business I tell you.

project 365 day 2

I've been thinking this morning about what exactly I hope to accomplish with this project.  My goal is not to become a professional photographer. I don't have a lot of time to devote to taking and editing pictures.  So what, then, is the point?

I suppose the point is to take out the camera every day and look for inspiration.  To get that part of my brain working.  The point is also to preserve this year of my life in photos.  Mundane photos of things like carseats and sippy cups because soon enough those things won't be part of our every day experience (well, you know, relatively speaking . . . we've still got several years to go with the carseats and sippy cups). To get photos of the things we spend most of our time doing, like playing dress up and eating cookies . . .

Anyway, without further ado, here's today's photo

project 365 day 1

A photo a day for a year. Easy, right? Probably not, but here we go.
Day 1 -

Sippy Cup

Thrilling subject for my first photo, no?  Just keepin' it real.  My goals for the year are to learn how to use my camera properly and to get my house clean enough so I'm not embarrassed about all the junk in the background of pictures I take in here.
