Photography 2/365 – New Weekly Giveaway –> Heads Up

2/365 - bird house
Photography 2/365

I’ve been looking out the window at this bird house the kids made me eons ago, thinking it’s weathered look was worth photographing. This morning, about 500 days after the original idea, I opened the back door and took the photo. My God the effort. * L * A * Z * Y *

In my own defense, I am not well today (I wash probably fine 489 of the other 499 days though). Sunday is the day I take an intramuscular shot for my MS and often I have flu like symptoms for 24-36 hours. Not terrible, but not good. Tylenol helps.

I was going to start my NEW weekly giveaway today, but realized that Monday isn’t going to work. (HELLO! Yah think!) It looks like Tuesday will be the day. Pop in tomorrow and READ all about it (that was a hint folks). HEADS UP!

I love to take photos of faces, kids faces mostly. I am always striving for the perfect shot (it hasn’t happened yet), much like Miz Booshay does pretty much every day. Is there anyone out there who can come to my house and teach me how to do this? I’ll pay.

My friend Kim takes photos like that too. Look at this photo she took of Georgia: http://flickr.com/photos/twonewmommies/2906776030/ – Fabulous. You can find her at: Real Moments and her Blog. If you scroll down on the blog you’ll see the photo shoot she did for me with ALL four of my kids. I love it.

After kids faces I like to shoot old abandoned stuff. That reminds me, if I don’t start pulling my weight around here, I might just might find myself an old abandoned stuff.

I meant stuff like this:

Fall Farm
The old barn at my grandparents farm. Isn’t it great? I hate that people don’t build proper barns anymore!

Queen Charlotte Islands - Yakan Pt
This old boat on the restricted beach in the Queen Charlotte Islands.

I am going to try and get out this week and drive around looking for old stuff. Weird but true. It’s probably going to require that I get dressed. I am not looking forward to that part.

Here is a new blog I am loving: Mother May I – a big part of my inspiration to do the 365 insanity project.

So come back tomorrow for the giveaway. Tell your friends!

I love the photos you have taken here. The colors are great and make you feel like you actually there. Great job.

Only Miss Georgia could make a cute frown! I adore barns. The older, the better. I used to want to make a barn into a home! Your boat picture is very good. I have been trying to think of a title for it. Take care of yourself!

Such talent I blame my poor vision on not being able to take good pictures, but my vision is fine to admire good pictures.

These are such lovely photos. Looking at this photos with a bit of music in the background can prove to be very relaxing. Try it.
