T<\/span>he 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 once occurred to me to photograph them. Guess that’s as good as a justification for the Thousand Picture Project as any, right?<\/p>\n

(Amy<\/a>, I posted this one just for you, so you could continue to covet my “vintage” circa 2002 and no-longer-available round Ikea bowls! *wink*)<\/p>\n

These are Lucas’s favourite toy right now. I love how you can see which colours he prefers by how worn the tips are!<\/p>\n

I was on a bit of a crayon and colouring kick, as you can see in this triptych.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Lucas, you’ve seen this one already but he’s so adorable it merits reposting, no?<\/p>\n

And further speaking of Lucas, here’s the a montage of his birthday shots from this week.<\/p>\n

I really like this last shot. I’d bought the old-fashioned beaters at a flea market this summer, thinking they’d make an excellent prop for the dry days in the 365 project. I pulled them out a handful of times, but none of the shots seemed to work.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday morning, I was baking a cake for Lucas’s birthday and the light from my north-facing kitchen was really delicious. I’d been using electric beaters, but suddenly this shot appeared in my head so I set it up. It turned out almost exactly as I planned, with the warm tones of the wood and the soft light, the fuzziness of the beaters contrasting the sharpness in the glass measuring cup.<\/p>\n

\"387:1000<\/a><\/p>\n

The picture turned out much better than the cake, in fact. My first try at from-scratch cream cheese icing (first time I’d ever made icing not from a can, in fact!) turned out rather meh. Turns out I’m a better photographer than a baker.<\/p>\n

I think I can live with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
