Project 365: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

10 December 2011 Project 365

There may not be much snow on the ground, but it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the 365 project! We had such a busy day on Saturday that a single photo just wasn’t enough to cover it. First we went to Hillcrest Tree Farm to choose and cut down a Christmas tree. [...]

Project 365: In which she once AGAIN miscounts to 365

4 December 2011 Project 365

There’s no cohesive theme to the 365 project this week. In fact, I’ve been bending the rules near to breaking — only 20 days left! Speaking of days left, remember last time I did this, and ended up with 366 pictures in my 365 project cuz I couldn’t count to 365? So I know I [...]

Project 365: Heading into the home stretch!

26 November 2011 Project 365

I can’t believe I’ve got more than 90 per cent of my second 365 project in the can. Did this year just fly by or what? This week’s pictures are all over the map. Actually, that’s not quite true — they were all taken within or around Manotick. But I couldn’t really come up with [...]

Project 365: Natural beauties

20 November 2011 Project 365

It seems I’m doing most of my picture-taking at sunrise and sunset these days. Not really surprising, since they bookend the work day, and with continuing mild temperatures, dusk and dawn are pleasant times to be out hunting for interesting shots. These spiky, weedy things, for example. I have no idea what they are, but [...]

Project 365: Pumpkins and pinecones and a gentle goodnight to autumn

12 November 2011 Project 365

There was a stat quoted in the Ottawa paper the other day, to the effect that in the 75 years they’ve been keeping records there has never been a year that no measurable snow fell before Remembrance Day. Hasn’t it been just the most lovely, pleasant autumn? The photo ops have been throwing themselves at [...]

Project 365: Portraits and pretties and rampaging pumpkins

5 November 2011 Project 365

The days are getting shorter and the light is low in the sky, but it’s been such a beautiful, mild autumn that almost all my pictures were taken outdoors this week. On the weekend, I had the great pleasure of meeting the Pietersma family. Have you ever seen the Victorian tinsel and gorgeous tin stars [...]

Project 365: Red and green and gold

29 October 2011 Project 365

You’d think if there were a weekly theme to the colours in my pictures the week before Halloween, those colours would be orange and black, but I’ve got more of a green and red and gold thing going on this week. Maybe it’s that whole “Christmas starts earlier each year” thing again? That seems to [...]

Project 365: I have no discernable theme this week

22 October 2011 Project 365

Wow, this week I posted the 300th picture in my second 365 project! Funny, now that I’ve relaxed my own rules a bit (it’s okay every now and then to post a picture today I took earlier, for example) I’ve taken all the angst out of the project and enjoyed it a hell of a [...]

Project 365: Wonderful weddings and fall fixations

8 October 2011 Project 365

I was really, really excited and really, really nervous by the time Saturday rolled around last week. I’d been in contact with a sweet couple that had asked me to photograph their wedding, and by the time the wedding rolled around I actually had butterflies in my tummy. (Can I say tummy? It seems like [...]

Project 365: Seeing red (and orange and purple)

1 October 2011 Project 365

Maybe it’s the warm, saturated colours that come with autumn, but I noticed that I have been completely fixated on the colour red in my pictures this week. Reds with green, reds with purples, reds with blues — it’s been a very red week! Like this one – clearly, it was red laundry load day [...]
