The calendar says that the first day of spring was this Sunday. Let’s just say this tree is extremely punctual, and I couldn’t be happier. Tweet

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 [...]
