The Thousand Picture Project: A little bit of everything

23 June 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

I couldn’t believe I had four pages of unposted pictures to sort through since my last Thousand Pictures update just over a week ago, but then I realized I had all the Calypso pictures in there PLUS all the pictures from the photo shoot with Finola. Still, in the snap-happy groove I’ve been in lately, [...]

The Thousand Picture Project: Jumping into June

4 June 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

Last year, I discovered the June is for Jumping group on Flickr late in the month, but so enjoyed looking at everyone’s shots (really, click through, they’re quite impressive!) that I looked forward all year to this year’s edition. I was full to the brim with enthusiasm as I headed into the backyard on the [...]

Thousand Picture Project: Spectacular sunsets and snapshots

28 May 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

You know how creativity ebbs and flows? Lately, I seem to be all gummed up. I’m really enjoying taking pictures, and I always enjoy writing. Well, almost always! But my head seems far more full of ideas and images than I am capable of turning into prose or pictures. I have creativity constipation! Anybody got [...]

The Thousand Picture Project: Loving that summer light!

21 May 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

I don’t know what I love more about the month of May — the soft scent of flowers perfuming the air, or the return of the gorgeous, soft light of late afternoon and early evenings. Like this: It’s a sweet subject, but the way the light falls on them really makes this picture, in my [...]

The Thousand Picture Project – it’s been a while!

4 May 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

Holy cats, it’s been more than six weeks since I posted an update about my thousand picture project! Don’t worry, I haven’t stopped taking pictures — far from it! While I haven’t quite kept up the 365 project pace of one photo every single day, I’ve still been carrying my camera with me and truly [...]

The thousand picture project: Expanding my horizons

25 March 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

You might have noticed I haven’t been putting up a weekly post with my pictures lately. That’s because I’ve gotten a little lazy with the picture-every-day concept. (As you might also have noticed, I’ve gotten a little lazy with the blog-post-every-day concept, too. I wish I could tell you it’s because my house is now [...]

The thousand picture project: beauty hides in the oddest places

12 March 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

So I have to admit, I haven’t exactly been taking pictures every day. Some days I take a dozen pictures, and some sad days, I don’t even touch my camera at all. (Well, that’s not quite true. I still lug the poor thing around with me everywhere I go, I just don’t always remember to [...]

Thousand Picture Project: Olympic Fever

19 February 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

The big boys are at an age where they can really enjoy the Olympic Fever that’s sweeping the nation. They had a whole week-long build up at school last week, and we’ve been watching events throughout the week. In fact, one of my prouder moments as a parent was last Tuesday morning. I was just [...]

The Thousand Picture Project: Colours and cakes

13 February 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

The theme for this week’s pictures was definitely colour. Maybe I’m pining for spring, but everywhere I looked this week I saw colours begging to be photographed. Like these kiddie bowls from Ikea. In 365 days of being desperate for something, anything to photograph, during which I used these bowls every single day, it never [...]

373 – 379 of 1000 pictures

5 February 2010 The Thousand Picture Project

Now that I’m officially done the 365 project, I don’t carry my camera quite so obsessively as I did before. And yet, I still feel the need to take a picture most days, so the subject matter this week is largely skewed to the close at home. That’s why you get pictures like this one [...]
