52 Week Project Week 6 {LOVE}

This week's project was LOVE. If you have been reading my blog or my facebook posts ... you will know that I am filled with lots of love this week. I've thought a lot about what my entry would be this week. I chose to break out my macro lens and take a picture of what love is to me. My marriage, my husband, my best friend, my favorite guy in the whole wide world. I love him! To signify this love, i took a series of ring shots of my own wedding ring.

52 Week Project - Week 4 {COLD}

So here's a funny little fact about me...tell me I HAVE to do something, and I will immediately go into a weird mode that my brain refuses to do anything remotely related to what i am supposed to be doing.  I am probably one of the worlds worst procrastinators...notice there is no week 2 or 3.  What can I say?  Absolutely nothing. 

However, I'm picking back up with week 4...a day late.  Really, there is no excuse.  My brain has a minor malfunction.

This week's project was COLD.  There is a crazy winter storm that has affected over 1/2 of the US.  My hometown (Tulsa) received 21 inches of snow this week.  Texas...we received probably an inch of ice and a dusting of snow.  So everything is shut down which has caused me to go into MAJOR hibernation mode. My kids are now going on there 3rd day of no school. 

The air is so cold and the wind is blowing so hard, it is truly painful to be outside.  My kids...know nothing different that it is time to go outside and play. Why?  Because it's a snow day...duh!

So my entry for cold is my daughter as she is bundled up inside a blanket.  What you can't see is that she also has on: leggings, a pair of socks, a pair of jeans, a tshirt, a sweatshirt, a coat, gloves, scarf and a hat underneath the hood of her coat.  And then after all of that...she complained because her hands hurt from the cold.

And then she asked if she could go back outside 30 minutes later.

Don't forget to check out Dana's blog and the contest.  Maybe there will be others that are a little more on top of things than I am.

52 Week Project - Week 1 {New}

My amazing friend Dana Suggs has started a 52 week photo project.  If you follow my blog, you will remember that I tried a 365 project last year.  THAT was WAY too much pressure.  I love taking pictures and if I could do nothing but that...it would be great.  So sadly, that project slipped to the wayside very quickly. 

Dana's 52 week project seems a lot more realistic.  The rules are below...You don't have to be a photographer to participate....you just have to want to improve your photoraphy and have the want to be more creative. 

This week - the theme was new.  So let me introduce you to Henry.  He is our new dog we got over the holidays.  He is 1 year old and such a sweet boy. 

Rules

1. Each photo must have been taken during that week. No grabbing a photo from last year! And it MUST follow the theme in some way.

2. If you must use Facebook instead of a blog, your facebook must be open to comments from everyone, and must be viewable to public so that everyone can view the photo.

3. Please remember to only add the PERMALINK to Linky Tools.


4. BE CREATIVE, but keep it clean. No naughty stuff, please.

5. Don’t quit! Stay committed! You’ll learn a LOT about yourself, your creativity, and also your technique!



This week’s theme is NEW! New anything: new shoes, new purse, new baby, new body, new year…..ANYTHING! Be creative and take the photo during THIS week! No cheating now!



Go check out Dana's blog and join in the fun for 2011


Much Love
