Weekly Winners & Project 365

weeklywinners1

All taken w/ Canon Rebel XTi. All SOOC.

This week I started work on a project I’ve been wanting to do since I was probably 8.  I started constructing a Victorian Era outfit from the skin out (literally, I made a duct tape dress form & everything). So most of my pictures are around that event. 

Then, at the bottom, the final three are part of my new Project 365 project.  It’s all Mishi’s fault. She twittered and posted about it, and when I said I’d been thinking of it, but was worried of forgetting/messing up she ‘twisted my arm’. Okay, it didn’t take much convincing, but it’s still her fault. I can’t guarantee that I will POST a picture every day, but I will TAKE at least a picture every day and try to post that often.  I’m anxious to see where this takes me…my poor camera has been a bit neglected lately.  And I was really pleased with what I was doing with it over the summer last year…so I’m excited!!

That’s it for this week!  Check out more amazing winners over at Lotus’!!

And if you’re curious, the reason that gorgeous cheesecake picture has the title it does is because it was the worlds most beautiful cheesecake but because I had make it in a larger pan than I was used to I’d undercooked it…so it was gorgeous, but ultimately inedible.

Weekly Winners – Nashville (that’s IN, not TN)

I’m trying to play catch up in my hundreds of pictures (finally) that I’ve taken in the past few months and not edited at all. This is batch 1. Taken in Nashville, Indiana. We had some family visiting from out of town and the entire family headed down to Nashville for some shopping and walking. I hauled along my camera and got some shots. I really want to head back down with another photog and just take a photo walk (and drive through BC during full color).  Anyway, without further ado – the shots all taken with my Canon Rebel XTi.

More coming next week…or during the week.  Whenever I manage to get them out!!  I’m trying to catch up, but there’s a LOT!

Weekly Winners 8/9/09 – Random

Weekly Winners is the brainchild of the wonderfully Sarcastic Mom, Lotus

All photos were taken with my Canon Rebel XTi. No editing on any of them except for size.

This week was filled with visits with family, sewing for Christmas presents, storms, and a “snake bite”. Pictures in order:
1. 3 cousins all w/in 2 years of each other. It was “Serious” business, donch know?
2. The girls climbed up onto Papa’s lap of their own free will for a story – first time it’s ever happened!
3-6. Sewing projects. My fav shots of the week.
7-8. Bad storms on Tuesday. These pics are two fronts colliding to bring the second wave of massive storms.
9. My “snake bite”. Was playing with the dog and got my arm caught in the choke collar. It hurts like hell, and Archie and the girls decided it looked like a snake bite!

Weekly Winners – Family Photo Shoot

Weekly Winners is the brainchild of the wonderfully Sarcastic Mom, Lotus

I really didn’t get out my camera much this week. I’ve spent the second half of the week playing with my sewing machine instead of my camera. So, I decided to bring out some of the pictures that I didn’t get to in last week’s showoff of our photo shoot. These were all taken on the White River – where it becomes more of a creek when it’s not raining and runs through our local park. When I was taking the kids around town, we stopped in the park and seeing some other people playing in the river I impulsively took the kids down. The last few pictures were after we were done and I was cleaning the sand off my feet, the girls were changed and running around.

Now go check out some others, over at Lotus‘ place while I stare longingly at the photography courses in my local colleges course catalog.
