Week 18 began yesterday on Thursday for me. It's the first week that I've felt I look pregnant instead of just having a big beer gut.
Week: October 25-31, 2009
Pic: Oliver Purroni Peru aka our new kitten and the pumpkins we carved.
Things to remember this week: first time carving a pumpkin in 5 ish years, making cat playground furniture, falling in love even more deeply with Peter, planning a getaway for our 4 year anniversary, planning on being sexy jackie chan for halloween but plans being ruined by working the entire day. The costume would have been epic. LOL! Oh and drinking AWESOME expensive margaritas and being drunk by 8pm... how come people never answer when ur drunk dialing at 8:30pm?? Oh well, I talked to my momma! I miss my family... *sigh
Not looking forward to: working 30 hours in the next 2 days...
here I go! :)
Happy Halloween!

Monday 13th August- Monday 20th August
It's been hot. Very very hot. Wonderfully so. So hot in fact that everything was put on hold and days were spent lounging around with ice cream.
The weekend arrived and it was still hot- beach weather. The boyfriend and I went down to a west facing beach Saturday evening, had a picnic, swam in the sea and took far too many photos of the sun setting over the sea. A pinhole lens had arrived for me and it was time to experiment! Cider on the beach. Bliss...
15 volunteers from Camp Zama spent a week providing extensive disaster relief and community goodwill to the northeastern coastal town July 20 – 27, 2012. The group stayed in Ishinomaki city in Miyagi Prefecture. The volunteer group consisted of Soldiers, family members and teenagers link up with the “Be One” team, a volunteer organization based there. The volunteers took on various tasks throughout the week, such as helping to renovate buildings, cleaning up kindergartens and rebuilding a community park. The labor-intensive work included removing damaged flooring, ceilings and walls, and clearing rubble and dirt. Ishinomaki, in Miyagi Prefecture, received some of the most extensive damage as a result of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan on March 11, 2011. Of the city’s 163,000 inhabitants in the city, nearly 70 percent were directly affected by the disaster. Around 78,000 buildings were damaged, of which 44,000 were completely destroyed. The city has lost and is missing close to 4,000 people, and damage still remains in many parts of the city. For more story, www.army.mil/article/84797

I wanted to portray fragility and strength with this picture and roped in my daughter to take the picture. My scars are healing well and its through love and support of friends and family that I have got through it. Mark has been my constant support and been strong throughout this whole chapter of my life, but I think we are strong for each other as people often forget about those close who have to cope with everything.
I love this picture, Laura has taken it just as I wanted to portray.

Finaly I finished my 52 week project, with a 2 months delay. Well it takes wath it takes.

My youngest daughter lost her two front teeth, the first just before Christmas and the second this week.
Teeth falling out makes them seem so grown up.
Urban Wildlife- Couldn't get a photo with the actual resident of this home. Will have to be close enough.
This month's photography club's speaker demonstrated motion trails technique. Here's my attempt using the pool table. Not nearly as poetic as the dancers that he photographs.
A busy social week for both the boys with a trip to Stuart and Elaine's along with the Crowes and Snellings for dinner and play with Henry and Rosie, then a visit from Granny for two days while I went to Scotland to watch the rugby and to Northumberland with work.
Needless to say, Granny spoiled the boys rotten and helped out by babysitting so Karen and I got out for dinner on Tuesday - Freedom!!
Kerr is continuing to do what he does best - smiling, eating, sleeping, eating and more eating. He's now in to his 3-6 month clothes, so I've threatened Karen with giving away his 0-3 things. Don't think she's up for it though!

The base exposure for this image can be found here. In addition to the HDR work, the image has been extensively manipulated in CS5 to address the keystoning and to remove a substantial amount of street architecture, namely the telephone wires and street lamp and a roof aerial, and the two cars in front of the garage.
A detailed review of my processing of this image can be found here.
