Picture a day- part deux

This time last year, I started a project of taking a picture a day. Like many other projects before, I started with the best of intentions- but somehow couldn’t follow through. Sometime after I came back from Japan in September, the wheels had fallen off. Somehow my pics for the 365 project today only add up to 176- that’s not even one for every second day.  Continue reading »

Adelaide in 40 hours

It was all too short. We had an absolutely fabulous time- we did so much, ate ourselves stupid, Kate was the best hostess and I took hundreds of photos. Continue reading »

Plauged by doubts

Not having the greatest of days- I‘ve been back to my nutritionist and at the end of the month we are starting the optifast program. It’s pretty intense and I don’t know if I can do it- I’ve failed before at this, for the main reason I hate mandated exercise (I’ve only been to the gym three times in three weeks ) and I love food. I really don’t know why I’ve agreed to this.

I’ve had a few good days with photography, did a real family portrait session on the weekend, which has come up pretty well. I also did some for skating this week- not so good, but something to work on. However, I can’t help but notices, as I’m sure you have- how my 365 project shots have suffered in quality and quantity. I was hoping to pick up on them over the New Year, but they’ve been a little shoddy. I’m hoping a routine will help me feel better about it all.

Moments of my life

Life is pretty intense at the moment. Not so busy, not crazy- just intense.

This week flew by and I got so little done- what with Peter’s birthday, work stuff, an excursion, by Thursday I was lost and tired and took a day off to sleep and clear my head.

Peter’s birthday was good, but the big celebration is to come this weekend. Last weekend was a welcome relief (in a way)- we headed out of the city and headed up to Gympie, in fact we went rural, out to Bec’s parents farm. Good friends, nice food, fresh air and some good photo opps that I’ll sort and share over the weekend. I was thrilled to see Frank ( haven’t seen her in ages)- but it had a bittersweet note, poor ‘vira passed that morning, less than a few weeks after Spook. Both were old dogs and had worthwhile and long lives, but it’s always sad to lose a pet. I’ll miss them both and I know how Frank must be feeling- like her heart’s been ripped out, I’d feel the same if I lost one of my girls.

On a brighter note, this is what I’ve been photographing this month, not every day- but pretty good. Some domestic, some from the farm and the odd left over from Japan. Enjoy and don’t forget to check them out on Flickr, along with the rest of my Japan pics.

Japan photos- finally

I’ve been laid up for most of the day with a migrane, so looking at a computer screen has not been fun, but I have finally sorted through my pics and come up with the best of my Japan photos. Check out the album here.
There’s still another 50 or so that I’ll upload at the end of the week and this weekend brings spa adventures at Bec’s farm, so hopefully I’ll have some pictures.

Photo Frustration

GRRR! I’ve not been taking my pic of the day and any opportunity for some SLR pics got taken away this weekend. I need to take pictures people- that’s what I do.

Instead I did spend some time sorting japan pics and they should be with you shortly.

Cameras, Pictures and Art

Sorting through my pics has proved a little harder than I thought- so I’m giving my eyes a little bit of time before I look back at them-it all seems like a blur.

I spent the last two weeks or so carrying a camera, a big SLR, so for the last few days it’s been nice to carry nothing- I’m taking a break from pic of the day and hopefully will pick it all back up during the week.

I went to a digital workshop for photo club today- it was really good to learn something new for computers on the first time in ages. Using the CS3 trial, I realise both my computers need a bit of an upgrade
