This week in pictures: Wherein late winter battles with early spring

10 March 2012 Project 365

It’s been one of those incredibly long weeks, so that I look back at some of the pictures I took earlier in the week and think to myself, “No, surely that wasn’t this week. It seems like I took that picture a month ago!” It was one of those crazy end-of-winter weeks when the temperatures [...]

This week in pictures: In which Mother Nature reminds us that it is still in fact winter

3 March 2012 Project 365

Nice weather this week, eh? Nice if you’re a skier, not so much if you’re pining for green grass and tulips. Sorry, you can totally blame me. I started BBQing last weekend, and I think the Universe wanted to remind me that it’s not quite spring yet. The good news is, the weather has been [...]

This week in pictures: Family fun and wintry weather

25 February 2012 Mothership Photography

I took a LOT of pictures this week. I had every intention of writing a separate blog post about at least two days’ worth of these photos, but it’s just been so busy that I didn’t have the chance to get to my keyboard. So be warned – this is going to be long! On [...]

This week in pictures: Melty, gassy and flashy

18 February 2012 Project 365

Wow, I wish I’d realized a year or three ago how much easier it is to take a photograph each day when you’re relying on your iPhone instead of your camera! There’s something a little bit more playful about the pictures I’m finding with my iPhone, and the fact that I’m using a lot of [...]

This week in pictures: “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”

11 February 2012 Project 365

I‘ve still been taking more pictures with my iPhone than with my camera this week, partly for convenience but largely just because I am a sucker for the shiny new toy. I like the way I can go and revisit some favourite places and shots and get something a little different from them, like this [...]

This week in pictures: “We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake…”

4 February 2012 Project 365

It’s a little bit ironic that now that I have a more comfortable versatile carrying strap for my Nikon, I’ve fallen in love with taking pictures with my easily-pocketable and much less bulky iPhone — no carrying strap required! My parents got me the Black Rapid camera strap I’d requested for Christmas. It took me [...]

This week in pictures: The one with the newborn twins!

28 January 2012 Project 365

Oops, has it really been a week since I’ve put up a new blog post? That has to be a new record for me. Sorry about that, I’ve been knocked on my keister by a cold and a migraine and kindergarten registrations and the preparations for birthday season, which begins here this weekend. I did [...]

This week in pictures: in which I am the icon of the downfall of modern photography (no, really!)

21 January 2012 Project 365

My friend Heather thinks I owe you a retraction. Remember this post, where I congratulated myself for my level-headedness and maturity in managing to pull myself out of a frenzy of consumeristic covetousness and NOT impulse-buy a new iPhone 4S? She thinks I owe you a retraction because I went out and actually did buy [...]

This week in pictures: Winter and other diversions

14 January 2012 Project 365

After a notable absence, winter has arrived with a vengeance in Ottawa recently. I can’t wait to get out and start taking pictures of the great snow dump we got yesterday — but I might wait until the temperatures warm up a bit beyond the current minus 30 with the wind chill. Brrrr! But heck, [...]

This week in pictures: after the holidays

8 January 2012 Project 365

I‘m still on the fence as to whether this is another 365 project, but I did take a picture (or five) each day this week. How can I stop taking pictures when there’s cuteness like this is my life? Isn’t he so lovely? Oh my, but that boy will break hearts some day. This last [...]
