Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Year- G

Of course, my "Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Year-G" entry had to be about Gabby, aka Gabriella Spunklemeier Wiener Walters LeBaron... That's her official name.

Journaling reads:

You are, by far, the silliest dachshund I've ever known, and I've known quite a few! You make crazy faces, silly noises, and talk to us as though you're convinced that I understand what you're saying. You hate baths but love the sprinkler, have a serious Napoleon Complex, can go from cuddly to growling in a matter of seconds, and stick your tongue out while you're sleeping.. and I wouldn't have it any other way...

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh! And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge. Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum . The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts. Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual. We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene. I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

(Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.” I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one. We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days. It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill. The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect. I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot. I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls! Sophie the Giraffe: Army Guys: Captain America (I never noticed how r...

10 on 10: January

This year I've decided to participate in two monthly photography projects along with some of the other members of Bloom , a photography forum I'm part of. The first of these projects is a 10 on 10: Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month. Everyone's entries are posted in a blog circle- you can follow the links from blog to blog and see everyone's contribution. (And WELCOME! to any of you who might have come here from Rachel McCalley Photography !) I decided to use the 10 on 10 in January to document a typical day now that I'm a full-time stay at home mom. A few caveats: I neglected to take any photos of the morning which was spent at the pediatrician as it was a rather negative experience (more on that in another upcoming post). I also neglected to notice that my camera was set on jpeg instead of raw (perhaps a child was messing with my settings? Am not sure wha...
