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 19 - 1/19/2011


This is actually a photo taken on Day 17 because yesterday (Day 19) I was at the hospital or at work (without my camera) all day long.  I even spent the night at the hospital with my mother so that perhaps she wouldn't feel so disoriented, so I was unable to capture any of that day's moments in a photo.  I did take quite a few nice photos on Day 17, so I hope you don't mind me sharing one of them today.  I didn't want to skip a day on my photo journey (although, technically I guess I did; but it was for a good reason!).

Day 11 - 1/11/11

Today was the first sunshiny day we've had in a while, but the photos that I took during the middle of the day didn't seem to compare to the ones that I took this evening at twilight.  I recently read an article that talked about the special effects of taking pictures at sunset and twilight.  So, when I left work today I thought I'd see what kind of pictures I could take. Since I normally leave work this time of year when it's completely dark outside, I don't usually have the opportunity to take many pictures at this time of day.  It was neat to see the outcome of my photos.  I took about 40 pictures through out the day and froze my little fingers off doing so (SHC has a million and one photo opportunities) and, one again, I really had a difficult time picking out a POD.  I picked a couple for publishing that I thought might be photo worthy.  As I get more confident in my photographic ability, perhaps it will become easier to pick that one special photo as a POD.

Bridget - my Pomeranian
 Bridget came up to me while posting my pictures, and I just couldn't resist adding her cute face to the mix of photos.  Well, tomorrow is a new day, and I'm looking forward to what the lens of my camera will find.
