Not the greatest picture on my part but the people make it beautiful.  Teresa had a very successful fund-raising event for her Doula Project .

I need to work on my sunset skills, but I loved the linear chaos yet colourful calmness of the photo.

Visited a dear friend of my in Benton Harbor.  We had a great walk in the park.  In this photo he is engaging in a "crazy run" :)

Cori, my friend, and I are also a part of another blog where the weekly theme was "triangles".  We created this food pyramid  :)

I was out on a walk today and was trying to stop and take in what my neighborhood really looked like.  It's amazing some of the sights you see when you take the time to look.

March Theme: RaNdOm

March has swiftly arrived and has left February in the snow. Thankfully during this unintentional break from the blog, and photography in general, I have been able to buy a "new" 40D camera and a new nifty fifty lens. Oddly enough it has been rather difficult for me to get back in the swing of taking a picture a day. Possibly because it is a different model therefore essentially a new camera for me to get to know, or because I really haven't been inspired by anything. I suppose that is the point of the project though; to try and find a unique way to look at life when it becomes mundane.
Anyways, because I'm still getting to know the camera a little bit, I decided to just make March a Random month rather than having a set theme. I hope you enjoy.

Last night while I was trying to watch a movie and work on some things online I saw the reflection and thought it would be an interesting photo. I thought it added a different kind of depth to the picture.

The joy of taxes....

Sunrise picture in a quiet neighborhood. This is one of the great things about walking to work. It forces you to slow down and take in your surroundings rather than speeding by them in a car. Unfortunately at times I take too much in and then am late for work....

On my way home from work I always walk past this old brick school.  If only the education system was as beautiful as the exterior of this building.Oh GRPS....

Feb 21.

So it has been a sad few weeks. Unfortunately a few weeks ago my camera broke.  A piece of my heart sank and only now have I replaced it back to where it belongs. I bought a "new" camera which has been fun to get to know.  It is a new challenge in many ways, but an exciting one. The sad news is I wasn't able to take any photos while I was figuring out a replacement, but the good news is hopefully the ones to come will be better in many ways! :)

I'll re-start my project hopefully soon.  Once my arrives fifty nifty arrives, I can get to work on my food photography.

Day 36 February 5

Saturday morning Waffles. I'm good at eating them, but I have yet to master the timing with the actual waffle maker.

Day 35 February 4

The blessing and curse of choices...

(Hopefully I'll get a better picture of this soon, but it's a start)

Day 34 February 3

Soaking up the sun.

Day 33 February 2

So I actually forgot to take a food picture today. Rough start to the month. So I was looking at food photos from the past that were in my albums and I came across this one that Enda actually took while we were living in Korea.  Beautiful colors.

Day 32 February 1

 Aaron's night for dinner.  Good cook altogether.

February Theme: Food

The theme for February I decided would be Food.  I can always do with more food photography practice. And seeing that my housemates are such amazing cooks, what a better opportunity than the present to capture the

January 31 Last Day of Black and White Day 31

To end the last day of January I decided to do 2 photos. The first photo is of a random shot that I thought would look good b &w. I also joined a choir recently, and the second photo is of the pieces of music we will be performing for the Bach Festival.  Come and listen if you are free on March 20! It will be a great concert!
