Went out of my comfort zone and tried nonrepresentational. There are probably about 3 paintings under this one. Then, for more fun, threw in a little house at the end. If you want to see my color matches they are on my flickr. Push feedback welcome

This is my sign by my front door, Ellie likes to voice her opinion when someone comes round! High pitched squeaking followed by excitable jumping . As Kyla well knows!
Bati um papo com essa garota, muito simpática por sinal, mas acabei não pegando seu nome para informar na foto.
Slave or Master?
I love my computer. It's amazing. I use it for everything. I'm on it for at least 4 hours a day. I don't know what I would do without it.
And that is the scary part. What would I do without a computer? I don't know. My life would completely change.

This image took me WAY too long to make. I probably spent 5 hours playing around with it in Photoshop. I used 8 photos to create this image. About half of them have masks and the others are combine using different layer blending options. I definitely learn a thing or two about lighting this week. Any helpful tips would be appreciated.
I started school this week so I hope to have more regular updates. Keep tuned.
Monday 10th June- Monday 17th June
This week was the first full week in our new house. It has been hectic and I'm exhausted but the house is starting to feel like a home and the plans for the garden are taking shape.
I know I have another week left until this project is officially over but I can't help but reflect on how much my entire life has changed in this last year.
A year ago it was mentioned that all of these changes would occur but honestly, I didn't think everything would happen within this project and for me to end up in the middle of the countryside in a cottage, working on a farm and thinking about chickens. Isn't it funny where your life takes you?
This image was taken when Tom and I went out for an early evening walk yesterday and successfully managed to get lost looking for a specific spot. The water was absolutely freezing but I just couldn't resist- look at that light!
One week to go everyone!
Seven weeks since my eye surgery to repair a detached retina. The gas bubble then injected in my eye has finally disappeared, and I ran for the first time in two months.
Going out to dinner with a toddler is definitely an adventure full of unexpected possibilities. This time my older 2 were visiting my mom so we got to venture out with just my son. He learned to blow bubbles in his milk and spent a lot of time flirting with the table behind us.

Week 29/52 -
*Hit "L" to make it big!*
Week 29 adds another new face, this time it's my Dad. My Dad, Mike, is a Mason. He started his own business over 35 years ago and has built hundreds of basements, chimneys and dozens of custom homes. He is a bit of a workaholic. Sure he is getting older now but he is still working really hard on building a new house for my Mom and him.
This shot is down in their new basement that is just about complete. I thought, what a better way to introduce my Dad into the series than to get him where is is most comfortable!
Camera:
Canon 7d
Tamron 17-55(2.8)
1/250@F/2.8
ISO 100
Strobist:
1 - Canon 430EXII, 1/16power, zoomed @105mm, inside Cheetah Qbox 24" softbox, on stand camera left, ~ 2' from subject
*triggered with Meike MK-7*
Objective: (Jeremy speak)
For this shot I had something really specific in mind and this was just about it. I wanted to shoot down one of the basement cinder-block walls towards my Dad. What this does is use the joints in the block work to draw the viewers eyes right into the subject. What also helps is having him lean back against the wall so as your eyes go down the wall they quickly intersect the subject. It adds a great perspective and edgy, hard, work feel to the composition.
For lighting, I used my 24" Cheetah Softbox. I aimed it directly at my Dad and had him look right into it. This is the first time I used this type of pose and lighting direction. I wanted the lighting to be centered right on him and allow it to fall back softly onto the block wall. I feel as though this pose and style of light adds a feeling of 'wonder' or 'curiosity' to the picture. It makes the viewer feel as though my Dad is deep in thought and contemplating maybe what's next.
And I used a shallow depth of field with the lens (2.8) to keep as much out of focus as possible to center the attention on him. I then brought up my shutter speed to 1/250 of a second (the highest sync speed when using flash [without going high speed sync]) so I could drown out as much of the ambient light as possible. This was taken around 8am and the sun is just over the wall above his head so it was shining right towards me. I wanted a darker feel to the picture to give it some punch and contrast.
For post processing I added a bunch of graduated filters (dark) to a few edges and angles for more subject attention and I cranked up the clarity and added a bit of sharpening to my Dad in Photoshop. Thanks Dad!

Little late this week, sorry!
I've been working so hard that I've made myself ill. Which I can't afford to be, as I have so much more work to do...
On Wednesday I took the first part of my kayaking 2 star qualification. I received my grade back for my first assessment of the term: not good enough.
I did have a lovely weekend with my boyfriend. We went to the library and worked all of Saturday, but on Sunday we went to the local Zombie run. Wonderful fun! We sat and talked about the future, and travelling: where we have been and where we want to go. The thought of travelling, of moving away, of the inevitable change that is on the horizon, inspired this set of images. In my hands is my travel diary, what I write in about my adventures abroad.
I'm very excited to be going home this coming weekend to visit my family, go horse riding, and catch up with some friends, so no doubt next weeks image will be inspired by home and family.
Have a good week everyone.

week off from work (woohoo!!) making the most of spending most of my time in my oh so cool jim jams hehe :o)
Is this too much? Have felt for a while now that there must be a photo here somewhere, but I'm not suer I have found it yet. And I had the urge to experiment a little!
This sweet little gal came all the way from Michigan to Maine to my parents friend, Charlie the day before he almost lost his life along with my parents. I met this sweet little gal last Sunday and she brought tears of joy to everyone she met. Dogs have a way of melting your heart and stitching up wounds. So grateful for puppy love and the joy a dog can bring to lighten the mood in any situation.

This week has been really rough.
My insomnia is taking control of my entire existence.
I feel like this project has become something that stresses me out, not something I enjoy. I feel badly when I can't get my ideas to real life. LIKE THIS PHOTO! Which came out alright, but nothing fantastic.
I wasn't really prepared for this again, I suppose.

Put it off until the last minute and no good ideas :( This was taken with my iPhone looking down into a bottle of Vitamin D-3.
Since we spent the first week of Olive’s summer holiday on vacation at Mimi and Gaigai’s, this week was the first week of summer in our house. Going into it, I knew I had to have a plan for each day, even if that plan was only a craft or activity I knew for certain we’d do. There are so many activity options that I get easily overwhelmed and stagnated without a plan.
I’d say the week was a success! We both had a lot of fun and it was a good start to a fun summer.
Monday: Gymboree and swimming at a friend’s house
Tuesday: Errands and then lunch at Smash Burger with our playgroup
Wednesday: Park with a friend and Rita’s Italian Ice after. Swim lesson at night
Thursday: Art class at Small Hands Big Art and a trip to a shopping center to play on their splashpad
Friday: A play at ImagineOn and Taste of Charlotte
A few weeks ago, Ryan, Olive and I sat down and wrote a summer bucket list. Some of the things on the list are big and might take up the whole day but some are just small rights of passages. We have 33 items on the list and we keep adding to it when we think of something or Olive brings up something she wants to do. We’ve already knocked a few things of the list, and some of them more that once, like making homemade popsicles.
Ryan, of course, has made a Trello board and is always adding and moving cards. We start soccer next week and we’ll be doing two weeks of summer camp, but it’s nice to have a list of activities for the days when we’re not sure what we’re doing. Already, the summer seems to be zooming by. July Fourth is less than a month away and it always feels like summer is over in a blink of an eye after that holiday.
When school starts in the fall, our days will be filled again. School three days a week and swim and dance lessons on the other two days. It’s hard to fit in a random playdate when everyone is so busy. While I want our weeks to be planned out, I also want to have plenty of room in our schedule this summer for spontaneous get-togethers and adventures. If Olive wants to spend the afternoon playing with her dollhouse and barn and train set, then we’ll rearrange plans to accommodate. If a friend asks us to join for a mid-afternoon frozen yogurt treat, I hope we can drop everything and go.
More than anything, I want Olive’s summer to be filled with swimming pools, adventures, mud and paint. I want her to have long evenings of running back and forth from the backyard to the house to set up picnics. I want long sessions of t-ball where she and Finn fight over who gets to the ball. I want books that spark her imagination. I want friends for her to explore and conspire with.
I want this to be her first great summer.
