This may not be the amount, or kind of water people have a fear of but this is my photographic artistic interpretation.
this week's theme proved a bit challenging for me, how do you show anger? anger is an emotion and visible when a person is in the moment experiencing that feeling. it can then be 'seen'- visually through facial expressions or gestures. but you have to be in that moment to capture it?? and truly I try not to feel anger, it depletes my energy, it doesn't feel good and it's not incredibly healthy either. now don't get me wrong, there are definitely those moments of feeling 'highly frUstrated.' but for this theme, i took the route of feeling 'anger' about an item, an idea or an issue.
and for me i take issue with cancer.
there are definitely moments that i feel anger for that bugger of a disease. in our family we call it the 'little c' because we don't believe it deserves a capital letter. when it entered our lives in the form of a tumor in my seven year old son's chest and he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-hodgkins lymphoblastic lymphoma i first felt shock and fear along with a fierce abundance of protective mamma love for my child. but when you watch your child battle through 2 1/2 years of intense chemotherapy treatment moments of anger creep in. anger that his treatment atrophied his athletic body. anger that his path in life was forever changed. anger that this disease robbed my son of 2 1/2 years of precious childhood years. we don't ever get those years back. damn that cancer.
but you see the 'little c' wasn't done with our family. for five months after we joyfully celebrated our son's cure date -- he is healthy. he is strong. he is cancer free.
the 'little' c' returned.
this time it took the form of several tumors... in me. in my breast tissue. and i was diagnosed with breast cancer. again the feelings of shock, fear and fierce protective mamma love for my kids took hold. my journey took the form of surgeries- double mastectomy and thankfully no radiation or chemotherapy. but i have to take a drug for the next five years (thus the photo above.) the drug has side effects the main one throwing my body into menopause and that's a bugger. i feel too young. the hot flashes and night sweats are not fun. but my pain is gone. i'm cancer free. i'm healthy, i'm strong and i'm alive.
but damn that little c.
I was inspired by a friend's martini. These are blueberries in a glass with a clear carbonated liquid. I suppose blueberries were an easy pick for this week's theme, but I tried to do something a little different with them. I think this shot would also look fab in BW. I might have to go get some glasses with different shapes. The curvature of the side of the wine glass made it a bit difficult to get the DOF I wanted - I think an actual martini glass would work better. This was fun project - I may do a series of 'glass shots' this summer!

Avril, "The Punk Rocker". This girl is so into her music and all about punk rock. She has the voice of an angel, which is pretty hard to believe.
Finally, I'm back with 52 Weeks! So excited about it. I have a lot of ideas to do during spring break.
The tulip house is looking gorgeous as ever. I wish I owned this house, only for their driveway.

i'm starting my first project on flickr: 53 weeks for 2013 (:
i simply love brazilian covers for murakami books, they're so clean and their colors are very wisely chosen.
So I am uploading week 6 & 7 at the same time..
Why? Remember that a few weeks ago I wrote that I was fed up with this rainy winter and hoping for snow. Well, my wishes came true last week! So I have been ice skating and playing in the snow for two weeks now :).
Inspired by the cold and my favorite fairy tale I took this photo. Hope you like it!
Saw My Week with Marilyn a couple weeks ago. I love Michelle Williams and I thought she did a great job as Marilyn. I know a lot of people are saying she's not curvy enough and all that, but I think she did a great job considering no one is ever going to measure up to Marilyn Monroe. The movie itself was lacking something though...it felt like a really good TV movie.
Week #7 Birds - Silly Geese. We have had a beautiful week-end and the geese are a little confused by the warm spell. We have had a number of geese looking for any open water in the area.
52 weeks project.
I missed last weeks in this project, but still want to finish it. Another stuidio image blended with a outdoor background.

Imagine my surprise when this bean bag lizard suddenly leapt up in front of me, just in time for this weeks challenge. Luckily I had my camera (and a copy of photoshop) at hand to capture this moment for posterity.

This week was march break and my converse came in. I am on season 3 of Gossip Girl. That is all I really have to say about this week.
Project 52 - Week 6: Portrait. Tonight’s photo session was so much fun! Florence is a natural, quirky, beautiful soul and I LOVE taking photos of her! Thank you for lending me your face, Flo!
Engineering week breakfast held in Benedum Hall, Monday, March 26, 2018. The event also included a Family Feud-style event. 1953
Looking for a place that usually puts people in a good 'mood', I went to the Texas Tech Horticultural Gardens. Unfortunately it's October so many of the flowers weren't blooming. I ended up liking this picture of some Feather Reed Grass, and I experimented with lens flare in Photoshop to make it a little more exciting.
week of February 26th, 2011
I know It took me forever to finally post these but I have spent since then trying to edit all the photos I took. I shoot my first wedding which was very exciting and a perfect way to end my 52 weeks. It was definitely a challenge but I just adore weddings. I have lots of photos to upload so be prepared :) Now I am looking forward to seeing what it will be like when I am not forced to take a good photo a week...... It is really interesting for me to go and look back at a year ago and see what improvememt I have made. Thanks to everyone who commented and critqued my photos it was much apprectiated.
