365... Days 6 & 7

Yahoo for me, I've made it through the first week!  I've started and stopped this project a couple of times in the last year but I'm determined to make it in 2011.  I decided to make this an iPhone project because I always have my iPhone with me; I don't always have my pro equipment with me.   I know that some may think that's the lazy way out, and maybe it is, but for me I wanted to make this goal achievable!  
I'm inspired by Karen Chappell... http://bitstop-nfld.blogspot.com/
Karen is starting her 6th year of a photo-a-day... SIX years... that is amazing!!!  

Please enjoy photos from days 6 & 7...

Flowers for my 365 project...

There is nothing like flowers to brighten up a rainy day. Needing a photo for my 365 project, and a break from editing pictures, I decided to take advantage of our New Years bouquet. Here is what I came up with for today...

Your comments and encouragement are always welcome!!!!

365/photo a day with my iPhone

It's a New Year and We're baaaacccckkkk!!!

With the start of a new year everyone has "new years resolutions", most of which fall by the wayside before February 1st!  I've often wondered why that is.  Is it because we don't put enough thought into them, or we aren't disciplined enough to carry them through or maybe it's because we really weren't serious about them in the first place.  I'm not sure what the reasons are, but none the less, here it is January 2011, and I've made a few resolutions and set some goals for myself.  One of which is doing a 365/photo a day project of pictures taken with my iPhone.  My hope is that you will enjoy seeing them and commenting on them as much as I will enjoy and have fun taking them!!  
So to get the ball rolling here are the first 4 photos...  

 
Day 1... Sunrise from our driveway!



Day 2... New growth through the snow!



Day 3... Sir Bob wanting to surf in Seattle!



Day 4... Frozen pond up the street.

Life’s Lemons and what to do with them…

Life gives you a bowl of lemons and your parents tell you to make lemonade. Others tell you to pitch those lemons right back where they came from.  To keep myself entertained, I came up with a few other ideas for those nasty lemons.

1.     Clean your elbows… remove the dark spots for your next photo shoot

2.     Squeeze the lemon juice on your hair and sit in the sun for natural highlights.

3.     Use the lemon juice as ink and write out all your tormented thoughts and feelings… it’ll dry and become invisible… if you ever want to reread it, simply put it under a light and viola – there it is again.

4.     Slice one up and stab cloves in it to make an air freshener  (this is also therapeutic like a voodoo doll)

5.     Try this and sit contemplating why… drop a same sized lemon and lime into a bucket of water and determine why the lemon floats and the lime sinks…



Sometimes in photography, like in life, you have to see past what is right in front of your face to create the illusions that make art.
