As promised, here’s the picture that accompanied the article in yesterday’s G&M. Conveniently, also Day 50 of my Project 365!
I had a much better week with the project this week. Some really fun shots and some neat opportunities. For Tristan’s birthday, we brought the kids bowling and I used the black-lighting to play with slow-sync flash, like these:
and
I liked the way this one turned out enough that I’ve finally replaced the five-year-old gravatar photo of me holding Tristan in a diaper and baby Simon:
And I got out on Sunday and took some great pictures of the old fence I showed you the other day, and some of the ice on the Jock river breaking up. That and some old shoes gave me lots of photo fodder for the week:
Most of these have captions on Flickr, if you want to click through for a peek. There’s a perfectly good reason I took a picture of those old running shoes crusted in snow!

- Project 365: Week of the Roses This has been a really challenging week for my 365 project, mostly because I was embroiled with two sick kids, a sick caregiver, and a secret project that sucked up ALL my spare time (and more than a bit of my not-so-spare time as well!). More about the secret project...
- Project 365: Portraits and paints and post-scripts I‘ve noticed two huge differences between my first 365 project and this one.

Your new self-portrait is stunning. I really love it. You look like a confident, happy woman staring into the future.
I love the one with you and the camera!! It’s totally awesome. I’m jealous. Is it wrong for me to want to try and duplicate it now?
You guys are so sweet! Madeleine, it’s funny, that day was a really good day, just one of those really positive, happy days, and somehow that comes through in the photo. Funny how that happens!
(except, I do notice that you can see my, erm, “smile lines” a little too vividly in the direct sun. I keep thinking of that old Rod Stewart song, “the morning sun when it’s in your face really shows your age…”)
Batman: knock yourself out, dude. I’m just not sure if all that hair would look as good on you… *wink*
(heh, captcha is “objections lie”. As in, I’m not going to lie, I have NO objection to these gratuitous compliments!)
No, Dani, that’s exactly not it. The picture is beautiful *because* it looks like a real person. So don’t be down on the smile lines, because hey, you have a great smile and lots of chances to use it.
