About Me

My photo
I am usually typing on a computer most of the day, but today I am trying my hand at a new project: My 2011 365-Day Photo Journey. I gained a love for photography when I was required to take a fine arts class for college--I chose photography. The course required a lot of work--Professor Loehr saw to that--but it opened my eyes to a new world. It's been many years since I took that class and I don't know how much I actually remember, but following Laura Delagal's 365 Photo Journey and watching my niece's love for taking pictures has peeked my interested in photography again. Although I don't have a professional camera, I did receive a really nice Sony digital (point-and-shoot) camera from my sweetie for Christmas this year. Going through some difficult times in my life, I thought that undertaking my own 365-day photo journey might be a way to relieve a little stress and have some fun with my new toy. Through this journey I will capture some of life's joy and its pain, but I will also be able to refocus the lens of my life on the many wonderful things that God has created. Well, here goes. Wish me luck!

Day 131 - May 11, 2011

Dottie Barnett & Dottie Hempfleng

Today we said goodbye to Dottie Hempfleng (Dottie H or Dottie #1, as we call her--Dottie #2 or Dottie B, is sitting to her left).  I had hoped to take some nice pics of the get together, but alas, my camera did not behave.  First, the lighting in this room has given me fits on multiple occassions.  Secondly, my camera started flashing memory messages.  I, apparently, need to reformat the disc, which entails removing all of the photos off of the disc first before I reformat, so that I don't lose all of my pics.

Even though the lighting and texture is a little poor, I loved the look on Dottie's face and I was pleased with the composition of the shot.  Unfortunately, unless you have it all, one does not really have a "good" photo.

Goodbye Dottie #1. We will miss you a bunch!!!  But as you said, you had better come back to visit us often for lunch and, of course, for those special occassion get togethers.

  1. aw..the dreaded disk messages. I haven't had experienced it but it is really advisable that after you downolad your photos from your disk to your computer that you reformat your disk. It'll save you from those dreadful errors and it'll make you disk's lifespan stay a little longer.
