Tiny Everyday Details: 11/52 (Let’s Do 52)

I already blogged about this weekend’s crazy weather, but I also snapped this shot on Saturday as part of my photo project.  I love the smallness of this detail–something I see every day.  Well, until The Hunk pulls them up as he weeds....

Crazy March Weather

We’ve had some interesting weather here in the midwest.  Let’s take this past weekend for example.  The Hunk and I hung out on the back patio and read and snapped random pictures almost all morning. And then there was Sunday night: The rain fell.  And we...

Templates+

Photoshop Elements 9 has been awesome for photo editing.  But I’ve been wanting to step up my game. So, I’ve been experimenting with templates since I purchased Lightroom.  I’m looking forward to moving more toward using Lightroom for more editing....

Perfect Pair: 10/52 (Let’s Do 52)

After arriving home from an annoying week at work, The Hunk and I went to the library for a bit.  We picked up the second and third Lord of the Rings.  Watching these two one after another was not at all stressful.  If, by that, you mean completely very stressful. At...

[Framed]: 9/52 (Let’s Do 52)

Yesterday, The Hunk and I made a delicious dessert.  Check it: It is delicious!  I say “is” because there’s still some left.  I’m a rationer.  Sometimes too much. I mixed a box of white cake mix with one stick of butter until the mixture was...

Simple: 8/52 (Let’s Do 52)

Some (but not many) may disagree with the statement I’m about to make. I’m not hard to please. I’m not saying that I’m simple. Not at all. But simple things are usually very exciting to me. Like my husband’s jokes.  It’s true.  I...

New Endeavor: Lightroom 3

It was all over twitter and facebook and blogs.  Lightroom 3 was only $70! But I missed it due to a 15-hour long day.  No time for research and purchase and husband-consulting. Lucky for me, I found it on Amazon a few days later for $69.99.  It is the student/teacher...

Smooth: 7/52 (Let’s Do 52)

For Valentine’s Day, The Husband bought me some ultra-velvety roses.  I love flowers.  If I were rich, I’d change two things about my life first: 1) I’d never do laundry–I’d just buy new clothes. 2) I’d have fresh flowers every day...

Linear: 6/52 (Let’s Do 52)

As the craziness of life speeds up, my posts slow down.  So, therefore, I get a little behind in my personal photography and, by the same token, posting my images here. Confession: I haven’t taken a picture of myself.  For now, I’m skipping week five.  I...

Unexpected Perspective: 4/52 (Let’s Do 52)

As the yearbook adviser, I tell my students to avoid taking pictures of the backs of people.  “What is interesting about the backs of people?” I ask.  Usually, they get it. However, this week, I caught an excellent picture from the back. The Hunk’s...
