    I was behind. Way behind. 2 weeks and more behind on posting pictures. Which I bet you all thought that meant I wasn’t taking pictures. Well you would then be wrong. I was taking the pictures, I just wasn’t sitting down at the computer every day to put them on my website and make them all prettified.

    So here goes my list of excuses as to why:
    1) I was sick, really sick, like am I dying sick? No no one knew the answer, but take a round of antibiotics and you’ll feel better. Obviously, It helped (I’m posting right?).
    2) My 4 year old daughter needed glasses. That seems like a triviality, but when you consider the appointments it takes and the effort of choosing them. Let’s just say it took some time.
    3) My Brother-In-Law passed. It was a hard time. We were away for a week.
    4) Now the sun is out… and I have no more excuses!

    So bare with me! Catch up on all my pics and take a look at my March 10 on 10. Meanwhile I’ll be putting together my kitschy galleries of all the pics I want to put up but have no place to stick ‘em.

    So, I assumed that taking a picture a day would get easier. I would be more inspired. I would see the world through a different light. My dreams of being a photographer would ignite within me. I was wrong! Instead I have realized I know nothing about photography. I can’t get my white balance right, I struggle to tote my camera everywhere with me and I wonder if it’s worth it. But I have set a goal of 365 pictures and that I shall complete. Whether I’m happy with all the shots or not, I will complete the task at hand.

    Laziness

    Posted in: Inspiration

    Yes that’s right I’m being lazy! I should be taking a new pic a day,,but this weekend is a stay at home in your sweat pants not leave the front door (except for swim lessons, which I was in the water so I couldn’t take pictures) eat junk food and watch movies till your gut busts and your eyes burn. Now, on Monday I will pay for this. I will regret no new pics, I will have remorse when I put jeans on, I will weep when my feet touch my scale and I will mourn that I have possibly lost opportunities to teach my kids. But for right now “It’s time to diem some carpe!” and snuggle on the couch!

    Disney On Ice

    Posted in: Articles

    Last night I took my oldest daughter and went to Disney On Ice. It was fabulous! All the princesses , except (as I was well informed) Sleeping Beauty, were there. The downside was that cameras with removable lenses were not allowed at the show. So I had to use my little, not the best pixel and horrible zoom, point and shoot. Now I did see and incredible number of people “hiding” cameras with lenses, so I’m assuming if I would have used some ingenuity I may have snuck one in. Although with my luck I would have ruined my daughters very special evening all because I wanted a better shot! So here you go,,,,,,,, the GENIE OF THE LAMP! Often imitated but never duplicated, duplicated, duplicated……..

    Well ladies I have the best man around! After letting me go on a 3 day scrapbooking weekend with the girls and watching my girls all by his lonesome, he also built me a light box while I was gone! If that’s not true love I don’t know what is.

    So all I can see is white upon white. I should look at this as a blank canvas and a great ability to make and create some wonderful pictures, instead I have snow blindness. All I can see is the white. Well, that and two stir crazy kids!

    So today I not only posted my pic for my PaD but also finally tried a project I’ve been meaning to do for, ohhh about a year now. It’s called 10 on 10. You take 10 pictures on the 10th day of the month. They are not supposed to be spectacular pictures, they are supposed to be a chronological telling of your life. So if you are interested into a sneak peek of one of our days look under the Picture A Day tab and it will say 10 on 10 – February. There you will see a brief glimpse into my life along with some minute descriptions of the moment.

    Well after some cruddy weather and a long week I took Sunday and went to the conservatory. It was just the Giddy-Up I needed to get refueled and start snapping some more pictures.

    Since it is the middle of February and it is the middle of back to back snowstorms you would think I would be taking pictures of frozen in time trees and “angel dust” aka snow falling from the sky, but haven’t you seen enough of that already?

    When all else fails in picture taking, take a picture of something you know in life. For me that’s toys!!!
