Day28

Today, I am getting ready for tomorrow. It is a big day! What? You don't know? You will just have to wait and see what I have in store!

Day 27 (9-11-08)

This is a day to remember forever. I didn't have anything patriotic and for no reason I decided to take a picture of my bowls. Then much later, to my surprise it is very appropriate. See the way they are stacked? Totally not planned, but a good way to remember today.

Day 26

The island in my painting. Wish I was there.

Day 25

The last film I will develop. Unless digital is just a fad and we all go back to film. Do you even remember what it is like to shoot film? I didn't until I shot a roll of film on Labor Day weekend. It is so weird, not being able to see your image in an instant, running out of pictures after taking only 24 and not being able to do continuous shooting, you actually have to wait until the film forwards to a new slide to take the next pic- with film there is no 3 pictures a second! Film is where it all started, but digital is like my husband, I don't know what I would do with out it.

Day 24

This picture isn't that good, but I couldn't plan that if I wanted to! (DVD was playing, and numbers were counting, I didn't cheat, I promise)

Day 23

I heart you

Day 22

At the balloon races. This is one of my favorite pics of the day. You don't see this view very often.

Day 20

Around the house

Day 16 (Aug 31st)

Day 15

Day 14

Sparks Marina.

Day 13

Day 12

I bought this soap a year ago now. It smells SOOO good! And looks awesome. I can't bear to use it.

Day 11

Day 10

School is back! Is anyone as excited as I am? I am just taking one class and by the end I will be a licensed Phlebotomist. I often get weird looks when I tell people that, so if you don't know, a Phlebotomist takes your blood for testing or donation. Good luck to all those who started school today too!

Day 9

Day 8

Day 7

Curtis wanted to blow off the patio and the only blower we have is my hair dryer. He is so cute

Day 6

Favorite picture today. I am seeing that I am leaning toward macro with this challenge, which is interesting. Maybe I should go outside more!

Day 5

This plaque says it all!

Day 4

I taught a lesson on photography for enrichment. I had a blast! Thank you to all who came! I hope I was able to teach you something. I am still working on the presentation to email to you and Deb, I'll email it to you too. Thanks again!

Day 3

Experimenting with extreme macro. This is Captain Moroni's hand holding the title of liberty. This was really fun to try. Go to digital-photography-school.com/blog to watch the video on how to do this. I also highly recommend this site for all your photography learning!

Day 2

I have been wanting to take this picture for a long time now. Curtis and I have been married for two and a half years now and he is a wonderful husband!

Day 1

In honor of my Grandfather on his birthday and a pledge to be more like him I am taking a photo challenge called "A photo a day for a year". The challenge for me begins today, August 16, 2008 and ends August 16, 2009 and by then I hope to be a more talented, knowledgeable and ultimately, more like Grandpa who had an amazing talent to show the world what he saw through photographs and paintings. Although the true beauty and wonder of this Earth can never be captured I think my Grandpa did an amazing job and I hope to do the same. So here is entry number one, day 1!
I thought it was most appropriate to post a picture of my dear Grandpa on his birthday. Yes it is a picture of a picture that was printed on paper. BUT, it took a few shots and some adjustment to white balance to get it right, so it counts! Besides, this is his day and the hole challenge of a photo a day for a year was inspired by him! Happy Birthday! We love and miss you!
