Project 365: Week Four

Apparently this is the only kind of blog post I write now a days. It's not that I don't have other things to post about. I do. My dog ate my glasses last week. That is some prime blog fodder right there. But I didn't write about that, and now I feel the moment has passed. Mainly because I ordered a new pair of glasses on Saturday, so clearly I have moved on.

This past week also has moved on. And it moved rather quickly. I can't really believe it's Sunday night already. But it is. And before I know it, I am going to be smack dab in the middle of a busy Monday. But before I find myself there, here's a look at my past week.

Day 24: Post Work Walk
Day 25: Colorful
Day 26: Living in the 312
Day 27: Pancake Party
Day 28: Looking down
Day 29: Radar
Day 30: Nap Time

Project 365: Week Three

It was another crazy work week, so my photos weren't nearly as inspired as I had hoped they would be. I do wish there were a way to carry around my fancy camera and get the kind of artistic shot I'd like to take on a daily basis. But I just know that isn't feasible. And I keep reminding myself that looking back it's the collection as a whole that I'm going to love so I should be able to overlook the few that aren't as technically perfect as I'd like.

This week did have one major high. Mike and I booked a flight and a hotel room for an extended weekend in New Orleans. I've never been, and Mike hasn't been since he was a teen. I am incredibly excited to get away for a few days, to sleep in, not worry about taking care of the animals, to not answer work emails I don't have time to answer, to not spend my weekend cleaning and to consume a ridiculous amount of delicious, high caloric food. But more than anything I'm excited to capture the city with my lens. Creatively speaking, it should be a goldmine for me. I can guarantee that week's photos are going to be good.

Day 17: Picasso
Day 18: Headache
Day 19: Rolling  (with accompanying video)
Day 20: Knit
Day 21: My Favorite View

Project 365: Week Two

This week was a lot of work. I put in a lot of hours at work and then came home to work on my house. But I ended the week with a dent in my work to do list and a freshly painted and redecorated second bedroom. I'll take it.

Day 10: Small and Stealthy
Day 11: Today It Snowed
Day 12: Retro
Day 13: Almost the Highlight of My Day
Day 14: Self Reflection
Day 15: Stained Glass
Day 16: Man Cave

Project 365: Week One

I used to be a very avid journal writer. I have about a dozen or more in storage that are filled with my teenage to twenty-something ramblings. And without them, there's a good chance I'd forget most if not all of what happened during those years of my life. You see, I have a terrible memory. (Just ask Mike.) I think that's why I've found doing this photo a day challenge has been really fun so far. I know looking back on these photos years from now that they will help me to remember some great times I otherwise would have forgotten. Although this week was pretty memorable, as it was the week I turned thirty.

Here is my first week's collection of photos. I'm keeping the entire set on Flickr, so the links below will take you there, which provides background into the reasons behind these shots. And just for reference, the numbers on the photos corresponds to the day of my 365 project. I've got a long way to go, but I am currently very hopeful that I can actually do this.

Day 2: Vivian Elle Invitations
Day 3: Bleak and Blustery
Day 4: Birthday cupcake
Day 5: Habits
Day 6: Spanish souvenir
Day 7: Flowers from my parents
Day 8: Home Renovations
Day 9: Old Folks Alley (it's photo set, because together these shots are better than the sum of their parts)
