Project 365- FAIL!

This photo is from yesterday. Which means even if I do another one for today I'm still like 3 days behind. And it's not always that I didn't take any photos that day, but just not of Cole. I will do better though, I will!

Yesterday Cole and I were playing in our backyard and our Christmas tree was out there because the trash truck comes today to pick it up. Cole asked me why the tree was dead now and I told him it was because we hadn't been watering it. A few minutes later he brings me the watering can and asks me to fill it up. After I do he takes it over to the tree and starts pouring water all over it. I love that kid, I really do! Even if he drives me crazy!

Finally Friday- Day 6/365

Today I was playing around with self-portraits which is ridiculous because 1: I hate being in front of the camera and 2: they are really hard to do well. Especially regarding focus. But I saw it as a challenge and so I spent a good part of my morning searching for the perfect light, my best angle, etc. I ended up in the bathtub. Yes, totally in it. What can I say, it has windows around it and gets great light in the morning! As I am in there playing with my camera Luke and Cole came in and joined the party. I asked Cole to kiss me on the cheek but that child can't be anything but silly. The end resut was an out-of-focus self portrait with Cole LICKING me and I am still sharing it (with the two people who actually read this!)

Two for Thursday

Okay so I missed yesterday. I didn't even touch my camera all day. So here's two for today to make up for it. I killed a spider and Cole couldn't contain his feelings about it!

Project 365 - Day 4

There isn't anything special about this image. I mean, the light is great (can't believe I have good light in my house finally!) but I am really not great at photoshopping the backdrop... and I loathe wrinkles. So maybe I'll try again tomorrow after ironing? But Cole did lay down and kind of listen to me so I thought it was worth posting for day 4!

Rainy Day

I'm a day late for yesterday's photo but I did take it yesterday so it still counts! We've been having too much rain lately and yesterday was another day where Cole had to stay inside. Just 'cause it's raining doesn't mean you can't dream of taking your board out to play though right?

Project 365- Day 2

Yay, day #2 and I haven't failed yet! Last year I did about 5 days before quitting so I need to just keep it up!

Today Cole was in the tub and I was just snapping pics of him and getting details and he decided that it was FUN to be in pictures! This from the kid who never looks at me and smiles! So I'd ask him to do things and he would and it was one of the best mornings ever (the things that make photographers happy!) So I told him to touch his nose with his toungue and got this:


I hope he remembers he likes being in photos when we try again tomorrow!

Keeping Up With My Blog

Wow, it's 2011 and this blog has been so neglected! I started it with good intentions and it became something I kept telling myself I'd update "tomorrow." Only tomorrow never made it happen. But this year I am doing a project 365. A photo a day all year. I will probably miss a day or ten but I am committed to keeping this blog going! I am also going to be doing a project 52... one photo a day, with Luke as well. I think I'll do that one seperately though. We'll see.

So day #1: Cole riding his bike in our yard in his jammies.
