Tongue Tied

Day Twenty Three: Indoor Still Life   Day Twenty Four: Words Day Twenty Five: Close Up Day Twenty Six: Art Day Twenty Seven: Books

Day Nineteen: Childhood Day Twenty: From a Distance Day Twenty One: Play Day Twenty Two: Structure

Day Seventeen: Angle One of my favorite angles to shoot is from low to the ground and into the sunset. Magic happens. Day Eighteen: Weathered I absolutely love barns. I could shoot a whole book of barns. The look of weathered wood is so endearing.

Day Sixteen: Eyes It seems sorta wrong to have this photo in black and white, because my idea was to capture their stunning blue eyes. But sometimes photos don't go the way you tell them to, and this one ended up feeling better in B&W. It became more about brotherhood than eyes.

Day 11: Something blue Blue agate that kinda looks like a face. Day 12: Technology This is my phone. For the first year I had it, I loved it. Phone perfection. Then they updated it, and now I hate it. There's nothing like a glitchy phone to test your patience. Also, I wish there was an app for fingernail growing. Day 13: Pattern Sunset through a rainy window. Day 14: Cannot live without It's getting to that point. Ya know, where I always have my camera with me. And now that I have two, the need is only getting bigger. I even searched high and low for a purse big enough to fit one in so I don't have to lug a camera bag all the time. Even if I don't use it every day, it's there. Ready. Day 15: Routine Today is Monday, so that means lesson plan day. Only last month, lesson plan day would have been Friday after school or sometime over the weekend. How quickly I start to slack. And I still forget sometimes and use pen. And then instantly re...

Slowly, but surely, I'm catching up. Day Eight: Clouds Our trip to Florida provided me with quite a few cloud pictures, but this monster of a storm on Clearwater beach was the most impressive. Day Nine: Sunset Day Ten: Flowers

We're on vacation and my internet/blogging opportunities are limited. But rest assured, I am shooting and you will  get your money's worth with 30 photos this month. Okay, mom? Okay? I promise. Day five: Animal These little guys are everywhere down here in the Sunshine State. Day Six: Something Green Day Seven: After Dark

I'm cheating today. On my list, today's photo was supposed to be "Routine". But we're packing up for vacation, and absolutely nothing about my day today was routine. So, I decided to switch with a later theme. Day Four: Love This is my dear friend Amy and her new little miracle, Lucy.

Continuing with my September photo challenge.... Day Three: A Good Habit Besides regular hygiene activities, this may be the only good habit I have. Things like biting my nails and staying up too late don't really seem like smart things to do. And to be honest, there are times when this particular habit isn't so habitual and it gets put shamefully far down the list of things to do. But whenever I get back into it, I wonder why I ever let it get away from me. There is nothing quite so personal as your own copy of the Bible.

See Day One for explanations. Day Two: Changes to Come My home is in a constant state of change. I'm rarely satisfied with how things look, and if I am, it usually only lasts a few months at most. It's like a continual process of reinventing my spaces as I reinvent myself. I actually kind of like most changes in life, even big ones. I can thank  my short attention span for my ability to adapt.

For the month of September, I'm going to be doing a little personal photo challenge. I tweaked one I found on Pinterest and I'll be posting a photo each day with a different theme. Just something to amuse myself really and keep me shooting. Enjoy and feel free to copy! Day One: Self Portrait  Self portraits are my least favorite kind of shot to take. I generally steer clear of any kind of selfie, as I have inherited my grandmother's severe photo-of-self allergy (which I get is ironic, considering I expect everyone else to happily pose for my camera). I love looking at creative and artistic self portraits on flickr, but those photos take a lot of time and practice to create. So, today is not the day I get really artsy with my self portrait, but I thought I'd start simple and work from there. Besides, this one sums me up well.
