Missing Fingers


Missing Fingers
Day 39 of Project365. I think my camera is dying, as it refuses to select a shutter speed of faster than 1/200s while I am using the flash. This could be bad news for my Project365.

20% off w/ Church Flyer (SOOC)

Day 38 of Project365. We saw this sign outside of a Mexican restaurant. It was intended to mean 20% off your bill for dinner, but it sure looks like they're offering cheap drinks for church-goers! LOL.

I realize this is a funny sign, and people like to share things like this, so feel free to download this photo and share it -- just keep my metadata (the title, caption, my name and url, etc.) intact, please.

Day 36 of Project365. Theme: Around the House. My sister-in-law is over here with her kids tonight, and I was admiring her new jacket. It's so cute! I love the lines and the cut of the sleeves, so I snapped this shot.

And the other one...


Absolutely No Shame Whatsoever
I couldn't choose just one of the photos for my Project365. Below is the one I took from the kitchen, and this one is the close-up.

Day 35 of Project365. Theme: Around the House. I was peeking over the kitchen bar, secretively snapping shots of Aisling picking her nose at the dinner table. When I showed Aisling the pictures, she was not even remotely embarrassed. Instead she shoved her finger up her nose and told me to take another one. LOL, gotta love a three year old. ;)

Are you a fan of irony?

Day 34 of Project365. Theme: Around the House. I was just puttering around the house, looking for a shot, when I saw the mess on the shelf over my desk and thought, "That's perfect!" LOL, I wish I'd had this for my Wordless Wednesday post this week! PS, also check out The Mommy Survival Guide by my bloggy friend, Barbara Curtis. I ADORE her books! (She did NOT write Absolutely Organized, LOL!)

Wordless Wednesday: Plates and Glasses


Plates and Glasses
Day 33 of Project365. Theme: Around the House. I've changed my theme for February since discovering that when I import my RAW files into Lightroom it *undoes* some of my in camera adjustments! That makes SOOC pretty pointless, doesn't it? So instead I present you with this photo of clean dishes in the sink. And in case you are wondering, yes, I put clean dishes into soapy water just to get this photo. ;)

Day 32 of Project365. Theme: SOOC. I'm warning you now, my theme for February is SOOC. If you don't know what that means, it's "Straight Out Of Camera." That means that after I upload the photo to my computer there's no cropping, no adjustments for white balance or contrast, no special effects. I do add metadata (like this caption) and convert from RAW to JPG, but other than that it's pure photography.

Day 31 of Project365. Theme: Faces. I've really been wanting a photo of Harley, and I got this one while just playing with the settings on my camera. I think it came out ok!

Day 29 of Project365. Theme: Faces. I was involved in a discussion over whether it's ok to use a photo from another day when you don't have any inspiration or time to take a new one. For some people that might be fine, but for me it defeats what I am trying to do. Tonight I am tired and totally uninspired. Last night I was taking photos of the illustrations in one of the kids' books, but I didn't use any. Since I didn't want to cheat, LOL, I retook them. This time I practiced using manual focus. (The illustration was soft to start.)

Got the number 13 tattooed on my neck


Got the number 13 tattooed on my neck
Day 28 of Project365. Theme: Faces. Ok, not technically a face, just the back of his neck. Mark hates to have his photo taken, so when I suggested he take his shirt off, he flinched. Thankfully he likes how this turned out.

Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at
Got the number 13 tattooed on my neck
When the ink starts to itch
Then the black will turn to red

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young

Gonna find me a preacherman confessin' all I've done
Or you can catch me with the devil playing 21
Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
I pray you don't look at me
I pray I don't look back

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young

Got a long line of hearthache
I carry it well
The list of lives I've broken
Reach from here to hell
Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young
They just gave me the number when I was young

Day 27 of Project365. Theme: Faces. Diarmuid was throwing a hissy fit, so I took him into the bedroom to give him a little love and attention. This is after he calmed down and was relaxing on Daddy's pillow.
