Project 52, Week 3 - making up for week 2

Since I didn't take any pics last week for week 2, I thought I would take a bunch this past weekend.

Enjoy!!

Tonka Truck

I took pics of his truck b/c we're going to try to sell it in Auto Tradder. Anyone interested? I'm sure we can ship it... if you pay! ; )

Stay Tuned! - and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Hubby

I know I let yall down last week with now new pics, but I really did take a bunch this weekend! I was off of work yesterday and now my USB cord isn't cooperating today so I can't upload my pics. I will try my darndest to get them on here tomorrow.

On another note...
Today is my husband's BIRTHDAY!!! He turns 28 today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY POOKIE!!

I was running around all day yesterday getting stuff for my husbands party this weekend. I picked up some contacts while I was out. I've been trying to get some that work with my eyes for a few months now. These seem to work ok - so far! Apparently, my eyes don't make enough tears when the contacts are in, so they tend to dry out really bad. I'm in Proclear contacts right now. Hopefully the last try!

Project 52, Week 2

I was baaad this weekend!

I had a long weekend, but wasn't able to go anywhere. My poor DH came down with some kind of sickness and I was tending to him ALL weekend. I even took off yesterday to make sure he was ok and to take him to the dr. : /

I will try to make up for it for week 3!

In the meantime, enjoy this pic of my loves.

Project 52, Week 1

I decided not to be overly ambitious and stick with the 52 week project, instead of the 365 day project. So, this weekend I began my quest for getting shots every week at new locations.

This was week 1, mile 1. I went to a school right down my house to take some pics.

Enjoy!

2008 Photography Goals - 365 and 52 Projects

I don't make any personal related resolutions because I know its HIGLY likely that I will break them. But, I am setting some new photography related goals.

1. I want to be able to fully understand the correlation between iso, f/stop and ss to be able to nail my exposure the first shot.

2. Taking more pictures of people, rather than just objects.

3. Stop worring about having every pic look pro and just take pictures for the memories.

To help myself learn, to get practice and to keep myself motivated, I have decided to try out the "365 Day Project." This is a project where the goal is to post a picture of something different every day for a whole year. Let's see how I do. Since I decided to try it today, I will post a few to make up for the first 2 days of the new year. I will try to post at least one a day, but hopefully I will have more.

I also heard there is a "52 Week Project" in where you are to take pictures each week. Well, I thought of a spin to this... To make it more interesting, I thought for each week, you could go out the respectful distance for your shoot. Say, you are in the first week, you would take pics a mile from your house. Week 2, you would take pics 2 miles from your house, so on and so forth. So, on week 52, you will be traveling 52 miles from your house to take a pic. I suggest you going out in different directions every once in a while. That would be easy for me... I live in Houston! Plenty of highways to travel and place to stop along the way.

So, without further adue (sp?), my first pics of the new year and my project.
