Weekly Photo Challenge: January Wrap Up
As I mentioned previously, my friend Shutterboo is coordinating a Weekly Photo Challenge. I’m determined to play along this year, and so far I haven’t missed a week. I figured it would be fun to wrap up each month with a post showing my entries. Here are the photos I took for the (very varied) [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge – Shutterboo WPC2011 Edition
One of the things I love about a new year is the idea of year-long challenges. I have a one that I’m planning for myself for my crafty endeavors (more about that tomorrow). But it’s also the time of year that all of the new photography challenges start up on blogs and sites like Flickr. [...]

Winter is Here
How do I know? Because a certain kitty can be found hanging out on our heating vents. That’s Ruby, sitting on a heating vent, basking in the blast of the forced air heating system. I’m always afraid she’s going to cook her insides, but when I try to coax her off, I get this: “This [...]

Finished Object: 365 Days
I finished a project over the weekend. A year-long photography project. Project: 365, A Year of Self Portraits Materials: Two cameras. Computer. Flickr. Various props, including cats. Self. Mods: While this should have been done in exactly 365 days, starting 3/18/09 and finishing 3/17/10, I missed three days throughout the process (11/20, 12/20, 1/5). I [...]

300 Down, 65 To Go
Today, I took my 300th shot for my 365 Days of Self-Portraits project: I can’t believe I’ve made it this far. I think the last month has been the toughest yet, but now that I see the finish line I’m a little more enthusiastic. I know that Janaury is a big month for starting new [...]

Shutterboo’s Photo Challenge
One of the ongoing photo projects I’ve been working on besides my 365 project is Shutterboo’s (aka, Co-Worker B’s) Photo Challenge. She has a list of subjects, and each Wednesday participants post their submission for that week’s theme to the Flickr pool. It’s a lot of fun, and the participants are from all skill levels. [...]

Lightbox on the Cheap
Success! I’ve been wanting to make a lightbox for quite a while now, and today I finally got everything together to make one today. Since we have an abundance of moving boxes left over, I had plenty of boxes available to make one. I just had to run out to Hobby Lobby yesterday to get [...]

Photography Class – Halfway Mark
For the curious – the sweater is finished! I put the buttons on last night, and it is 100% completed. As soon as I get a decent FO shot, I’ll definitely post about it. Hurray! Before I knew that this October was going to be insanely busy – the busiest month of the year at [...]

New Camera, aka, “That Was Fast!”
After my experiment with my friend B’s DSLR, I knew I wanted one of my own. I did a lot of research. Canon, Nikon, Olympus? Are megapixels really that important? Kit with lens vs. body only? What about filters? What kind of lenses will I need for the type of shots I like to take? [...]
