As I mentioned last week, my friend Joe hooked me up with some Cactus V4's for my birthday, and after a loooooong week of work I finally got the chance to play with them a little bit! And I thought that for my first photo with them I should honor Joe by flat out copying his Week 1 photo. ( www.flickr.com/photos/32600254@N05/4294818002/in/set-7215... ) Haha okay, so really, a lot of my intention in reproducing Joe's photograph was to see if I could figure out how to use the V4's and get proper lighting and use the right techniques and so on. I knew that if I could get it close to Joe's, then maybe I was on the right track. It was hard at first because I don't have all the equipment that Joe has, and I had nice cold beer staring me in the face, but after a little bit ingenuity, and will power not to drink during the middle of the day, I was able to get a decent setup. Albeit fairly ghetto, it worked. I am definitely stoked to have the V4's now though, so thanks Joe, this one's for you.

XI Week 50
Doing the last 3 posts of the year on the last week of 2020. First party of the year at King's Park in Perth. What a party, what a view!.

Watauga Presbyterian Church, founded as Willow Springs Cumberland Prebyterian Church in the 1850s and reorganized in 1867, then renamed Watauga Presbyterian Church in 1896.
Outside the frontier church stands an historical marker naming the courageous families who founded the church when there was nothing but acres of prairie land. Along side of it sits the old farm bell donated by descents of the Keating family, one of the first handful of pioneers to settle in Watauga. On Sundays, the iron bell can be heard clanging as the current youngsters at the church take turns pulling and tugging on its handle to remind neighbors that the preacher has arrived.
The spirit of this frontier church has continuously served this community for approximately 130 years. Services are still held at 9 a.m. every Sunday.

11th September - 17th September 2011
The holidays often bring up memories of family and friends who are no longer with us. Sadly, another has been added to the list. My Uncle Bob died yesterday after a long illness. My thoughts are with my cousins who lost their father and my Dad and Uncle Roger who lost their big brother.

Wow, only eleven weeks left.
You can't tell that easily here, but I buzzed the underhair off my head.
I went to Ft. Smith for a volleyball tournament, the guys always shave crazy designs into their hair, play for a couple days, then rid it.
I went two years ago in grade ten and was going to shave it all. I chickened out.
I wanted to this year, but it's grad and I want long hair for one of the grad ceremonies I'll be attending, so I left half.
You can expect it all to be gone sometime when I hit Uni.
I can't wait.
Caesar started week 2 of chemo today, his blood work was "perfect" they said, and the tumours on his spleen, liver and small intestines have shrunk! YAY! (there was no change in the size of tumours on his lymph nodes) His doctor was quite pleased (as are we) but there is still some concern with his weight. At his healthiest he was 89lbs, today he is 68lbs - he has dropped almost 10lbs since he was in ICU a week ago. They're not sure if his intestines aren't absorbing the food because of the cancer but we will know more our next visit if he continues to lose weight. He is ravenous right now so will be gradually getting him back on his regular food and hopefully that (plus the prednisone) will help him put some pounds on this week. He doesn't go back until Dec 6 because neither Rick or I can get the time off work to drive him to the clinic (its an hour away), hopefully those few extra days without chemo won't set him back too much. I likely won't update much before then, unless something drastic happens. Thanks to everyone for your well wishes, they're helping! :)

This is my best friend's daughter, Daisy. I've been photographing her since the day she was born. Daisy is one of those rare people who doesn't hold anything back when she is in front of the camera. It has been amazing to document her as she grows up. She continues to be one of the most unique individuals I know.
Week 30 - 29 July - 5 August 2015
More fun with double exposures. Was thinking of posting stuff from Melbourne Open House this year, but that's on another album.
Anyway, this late posting is another of the few "Double Exposure" shots I've been playing with. More next week.

Having looked forward so much to this SOOC week I ended up with only a few hours yesterday to take my shot. I was lucky enough in the end to have several shots from which to choose. I finally returned to this one - a land/seascape shot of the area where I live.
Basically, this is the view (weather dependent, of course) that greets me on the train home from work each evening. On the right is Killiney beach which looks out over Killiney Bay - the adopted home of a small pod of 3 dolphins. Occasionally I spot the dolphins from the train as they frolic about in the bay. On the left in the distance is Bray Head in the shadow of which is the town of Bray where I live. To the right of this you can see the Little Sugarloaf and Big Sugarloaf mountains. These are the gateway to the Wicklow Mountains - one of the most scenic areas in Ireland.
From the several shots on my short list, I chose this one because it is absolutely SOOC with no need of any pre- or post editing as the camera really did capture what I was seeing at the time with the naked eye and I believe that no software or processing could improve on this view that I am privileged to have on my doorstep.
Week: 33
Circumference: 41.5" - either measuring before dinner makes a difference or baby has shifted a bit.
Belly Button: Technically still there. If I lean back it is basically flush with the rest of my belly.
Enjoying: Slower days this week since the mere mention of snow keeps Seattlites at home. Knowing baby could realistically be here in less than a month. Naps. Mostly because they give the muscles above my belly a break from gravity.
Feeling: Tired more easily. A bit more back pain than usual this week. Denser.
Movement: Very definite awake times. More subdued as space gets tight but lots of elbows and knees and such to watch and feel.
Sleep: Tried staying up later and it definitely helped me sleep through the night (with a couple potty breaks, of course). This means I get up later, too. Which, honestly, is my preference in the winter anyway.
Food: Drinking lots of water and I want it COLD. Some days I'm really hungry others I'm not. Cutting back on portion sizes and increasing the amount of times I eat. Cooked at home a lot this week. Even made some food for the freezer for after the baby.
Anticipating: Seeing friends & family at the baby shower this weekend.
Not really up to anything, just a quick snapshot this week. So much to do, so little time. Still a beautiful boy.

I had a perfect picture planned for this weeks ago. My plan was to go to a field with a little girl or boy and capture some great pictures of them holding a bunch of very colorful balloons. Well, Mother Nature had other ideas. We were hit with a few inches of snow during our "Spring Break". My husband, kids and I all built this snowman and I do have to say it is the best snowman we've ever made. We had a balloon in the house that I attached to his stick arm for balloon week. Definitely thinking outside the box on this one :)
Week 41
This week I decided to try something a little different. I took something I had written and attempted to make it into a photo... I was fairly pleased with it, let me know what you think!
"My pillow is too hot, I should flip it over. The neighbors next door are fighting again. This time I guess he forgot to take out the garbage. I can hear almost every word through the paper thin walls, "I told you right before I left specifically because it's too heavy for me..." Blah blah blah. It's already 2AM, I'm so tired but for some reason I can't close my eyes. The main street outside my apartment window isn't busy but every so often a car roars by just loud enough to bug me. Oh, there goes a truck now. I can even hear planes flying and trains blowing their horns every few hours. The silence between the disturbances make them seem more significant than they really are.
My eyes have adjusted so well to the moonlight squeezing through my blinds it could be daylight, I wouldn't even know. I have always had trouble sleeping at night, and probably always will. When I was little I would walk out of my room an hour after my mom had put me to sleep and complain that I wasn't tired. My mom would then ask me if I had tried closing my eyes and I would think back, only recalling studying how the moonlight touched everything in my room and think that I must not have tried closing my eyes and return to my room without another word.
So I tried this now, closing my eyes. It's never really worked before so I don't know why it would now, but I'm desperate. The shouting from my neighbors pierced my silence, almost causing me to wince. I thought about them, the cars, about work and life. I noticed my eyes were open yet again and I shut them instantly. After rolling over multiple times to get comfortable I decided to turn on the radio to keep me from thinking about life and to possibly keep a constant noise and maybe even drown out everything else.
I begrudgingly left my warm sheets to cross the room to the radio. The cool air hit me like a brick and it took all of my strength to not return to my blankets. My feet screamed on the cold carpet and I dragged myself to the window just to make certain it was closed. It was. I then turned to my alarm clock which I had strategically placed on the opposite side of the room so that in the morning I was forced to get out of bed to stop the angry beeping. The clock was already set to my favorite station and some smooth guitar chords started swimming through my head. I turned down the volume so it was just loud enough to keep the cars and couple at bay.
I crossed the room again to my bed which had become cold in my absence. The rough voice of a man with a broken heart joined the guitar, adding a new color to the music. I thought about him, what was real in his story and what was fiction. Do we all exaggerate? Just a little bit, I'm sure. We, as people, like things to sound good..."
Thank you!
The big news of the week is that Olive has started sleeping 12-13 hours a night. While we're super excited that we now know she's capable of it, we'd love to see a little more consistency. Ah well, one day.
Her little personality continues to blossom. She's become very silly this week. She loves to tilt her head to the side and grin wildly. It's ridiculously cute. She also loves when daddy hangs her upside down and bounces her crazily on his knee. She has been much more confident in her voice this week. We took her to Target one night and she sat in the cart and babbled loudly. Luckily everyone around us thought she was adorable and not annoying (or at least that's what they said).
The biggest change this week is how well she's mastered finger foods. She loves to pick up steamed bits of apple and sweet potato and eat them. She's definitely starting to chew her food which means we give her a lot more table food. She still loves to eat and can put away a ton of food now. Her current favorites are apple sauce and pumpkin that Ryan flavors with brown sugar, maple syrup, nutmeg and cinnamon. Our girl eats well!
