It's a new year!
In 2014 I started a Project 52. But alas, I didn't make it to 52 photos. I thought I'd give it another try in 2015.
The rules are simple. 52 photos of food that I have made (mostly) from scratch. Most of the recipies will likely come from Food Network Magazine or Bon Appetit Magazine. I'll include the recipe in the description and offer some quick thoughts on how it turned out.
Ruby Red Shoes by Sawyer Brown
"Where'd you get them ruby red shoes
They look like they could take a man
To a place he could use
We could tap our heels girl
And chase away my blues
If I could talk you out of them ruby red shoes "
Green–my favorite color to photograph.

Subject: My Favourite
Claire was out tonight with the girls, so it was boys night in, Matthew, Sam and yours truly. So we decided treat ourselves, a film and popcorn (Dad's popcorn as the boys call it, not the microwave stuff).
So my favourite this week is popcorn, Madagascar and the kids - Dad's favourite.
I kept wondering what I could use as a subject matter for this weeks theme of action, all the while my youngest was running, scooting, jumping and generally flying around all over the house as he usually does.
For days I was coming up with different ideas and working out how to put them into practice.
You'd think I would get the hint a little bit quicker when I have the perfect subject running around me all the time!!!
I did it! Thank got it is over. It was a long journey and a great learning experience, but
I am glad it is over. Now for something more ambitious: 365days
Here is the complete set of project52 pictures.

Here is the first upload for my “52 Weeks B&W Photography Project” for 2012.
I thought it would be a good idea to start with a self-portrait: "Let me introduce myself...".
Actually, this is not my favourite picture of the week (I do prefer the bokeh machines II and III). But I want this project to improve my Photography by taking me outside my comfort zone... And B&W (self-)portraits are outside this comfort zone, for sure !
Ultimately, I hope I can give a try this year to some Street Photography, but there is still a long way for me to go before I dare to shoot people in the street !
Well, let's go for week 2 ! See you on next Saturday, January 14 :-)

From a fetish shoot for a friend, done as a favour, as I'm not really fond of taking photographs of people.
One of my favorite spots to hang out at my house is on my roof. Not too terribly far up off the ground, but nevertheless an edge.

Day Twenty-Three ~ Fostering Stuart
Last summer, we took Anna to PetSmart one Saturday and there was a rescue group there called Texas Animal Guardians. They had some adorable dogs up for adoption and Anna was smitten with the whole process. We went back most Saturdays for most of the summer. Gyvel, the organizer, started to recognize us and took a shine to Anna. One day, she brought a t-shirt for Anna and asked her if she would like to volunteer. Anna walks the dogs around PetSmart and is allowed to take them out to do their business. Last week, they pulled a lot of dogs out of a San Antonio kill shelter and were desperate for fosters or adopters.
This little guy is named Stuart. He was kept in an outdoor pen and it was getting below freezing at night. As soon as Anna picked him up, he fell asleep on her... in the middle of PetSmart! I couldn't bear the thought of him going back into the shelter, so we said we would try fostering him short-term. Well, he is getting along so well with Charlie and Lola that we called Gyvel on Sunday and said we would foster him until he found his forever family. He's about 8.5 pounds, a Terrier/Schnauzer mix (?), and is about 2 years old. He is completely housebroken and has no bad habits. How he ended up at the shelter is a mystery to me!
I love the detail and texture of leaves–dead or alive. It has to be one of my favorite things to photograph.

I was away at the weekend and came home on sunday night. In front of my door there was a parcel with a surprise in it: some swiss chocolate and a wonderful polaroid picture! Thank you, Ba!
Celui-là, je ne l'ai pas lu. C'est un livre technique sur REST, un style d’architecture informatique pour les systèmes hypermédia distribués (merci wikipedia pour la formule). Cette photo n'est pas faite exprès mais tombe quand même dans le thème, bien qu'elle ne fonctionne qu'en anglais : REST = sieste ou repos, et cette photo a été prise sur l'herbe, lors d'un pique-nique.

Waiting on Dr. Arnold
We love Dr. Arnold… our family’s gastroenterologist. He has now seen all 5 of us in his office. (My claim to fame? I have the colon the size of Tim Duncan!) Dominic had his follow up with him after getting a bazillion tests run. All the testing came back normal so he was diagnosed with IBS. Dr. Arnold said it was common in people with ADD and ADHD. Dominic’s been tracking what foods upset his stomach but it looks like he inherited his dad’s genes for tummy troubles. Sorry kid!

Week 19 {Weather} & {Imperfection}
A bit nervous to share bc:
#1. The image was taken with my cell phone
#2. The emotion this image provoked in me
#3. The dept of sharing I will be doing with this image!
WOW!!!! When I captured this image with cell phone in hand, it could not have fit more perfectly for this week's theme (weather & imperfection) and oddly enough! So here is the story behind this image. Before my pursuit of photography, I embarked on a nursing career and still work as a pediatric oncology nurse very part time. As I was walking into the hospital the other night I was having a conversation with myself and asking God, "With how little I currently work in this profession, do I really make a difference with these kiddos who are fighting for their lives? Cancer makes me SO MAD God and even madder that precious kids have to be effected by it. How in my few days a month, can I possibly make a difference in their fight and journey?" No sooner did I walk through the door to my unit and round the corner into the nursing lounge and look straight ahead... this was the sight I saw....Immediately I gasped and grabbed my phone and snapped the picture. As I stood there peering out the window, I was reminded of the Bible story I have heard many times about God putting a rainbow in the sky to remind Noah of his promise that He would never flood the earth again. My mind immediately went to another verse I have heard many times, "Whoever can be trusted with very little, can be trusted with much...". Without getting all spiritual on everyone as I know this is not the platform for such... I was instantly in AWE... in the hours ahead of me, I was being trusted with these precious kiddos to give them my absolute best by not only my boss, hospital, and these precious families and children, but God TOO was trusting me to give these kids the BEST care possible!
At that moment I realized that regardless of the "hours" I work on a monthly basis, my presence and responsibility is ENORMOUS and It is MY CHOICE to make a difference in those moments! Thank you God for the reminder that even in the imperfection of me as a person, the "Imperfection" of this "weather" image, that I can make a difference in my small corner of the world as a mother, wife, nurse and aspiring photographer!
The only way to properly record what I saw is by using the 9-frame handheld bracketing and highspeed of the D3s. Post process in Photomatix Pro to recreate the sky as seen that evening.

Fatima is my school friend, we studied at Willes Little Flower School for around 2 and a half years. And finally passed the Secondary School Certificate Examination in 1981. Recently we met along with some other old buddies. Here she is with her mother.
This week all the older kids were with their Dad, so he had us all to himself. He was soaking up this moment all to himself on the merry go round and it was so sweet.
Little late posting this, it has been a little manic, as a result of my wife going back to work and Lucy starting crèche. The early verdict, she loves it!
....I feel like it needs.....something.
Thoughts?
But anyhow, I learned a lot. PS was sooooo slowwww(which is a bit unusual). I had no idea why until I tried to upload the .jpeg to flickr. HUGE file... heh. Whoops.
I also imagined it a bit different in my head, but I wasn't able to find the hole image I was looking for. -.- which didn't help at all. *sigh* oh well...
Week 08 - H like... Houtdok - A new view of Antwerp as part of my 2015 project: antwerp52.blogspot.be
No, not Avatar's Pandora (though I still wonder why they weren't all wearing bracelets). This was my Christmas present from my parents, and the subject of another 'Oh dear it's Saturday I need to take a photo' made worse with a 'Oh dear it's raining I'm not going out in that'. I've actually been wanting to take an up-close photo for a while. It was really hard to focus on, but I quite like it. It's just sitting on a notebook that was on my desk at the time, and I added an 'antique photo' effect. Quite cute I think.
So uni is now in full swing (well it is the second week) and I'm already struggling to fit it in. I WILL DO IT!
Half black and half white. That is the color of my step-daughter's new
kitty she got for her birthday and only half of her gift. She came home to a trampoline in the backyard as well. And I confess, the kitty is a gift for the whole family. Her name is Mya and we are in love. :-)
Here is a photo from filming. Had some issues with the light (which were easily fixed in Lightroom) but I'm disappointed in how it is slightly out of focus, though luckily it's not too noticeable at smaller sizes. Otherwise I really like this photo.
I was able to convince my younger brother to be my model for this week's photo.
Lucky enough that he was in the right mood. ^_^

Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

SOOC (except for cropping)
This was my first ever photo shoot and I must say Im very excited. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I wish I could do a 52 with a pict every week but I just don't have enough time to do that. Instead I'm going to try and do one every month for the next year. :)
Wirral365 Project52 Week11.
Fish 'n Chips, a staple British food. Friday after work chippies throughout the land are battering the fish and chipping the spuds for the eager public who can't be bothered cooking tea after a hard days work. I joined the queue at my local chippy for my Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas. When I returned home I found that I had run out of ketchup!!! Not to worry. I grabbed my copy of The Sun and wrapped the fish and chips in page 3 - that should add a little bit of sauce I thought. (Times and Telegraph readers will not understand, but fans of Melinda Messenger and Linda Lusardi - a lovely pair - will know what I mean). Yes, I know that I'm showing my age.
If there was a silver lining to the evening in question, it was the amount of coloured light bouncing of pretty much every surface imaginable.
Taken near Waterloo - braving the rain for a few mins at a time, before returning to the safety of the pub.
Oh and I found the 16:9 setting on the camera - a ratio that I never hear the end of at work...
