Strobist: SB600 fired into umbrella in front of subjects. 1/2 power.
Played with some tilt/shift effects in post to help declutter the back and foreground.
I suffered a debilitating back injury while working a warehouse job 15 years ago and was forced to leave. At the time, I was raising two daughters, and I was uncertain about what my future would look like.
My injury prevented me from doing any hard, physical work, and I wasn’t sure where I was going to work and earn a living.
I was referred to Goodwill Industries of Sacramento Valley and Northern Nevada by a counseling service and decided to register for computer classes. My computer skills improved a lot in a short period of time.
I decided to stay with Goodwill as a volunteer. I helped out in all different departments doing administrative work. I learned how to do a lot of different tasks and worked really hard to improve my skills.
After about six months, I started applying for jobs. I learned how to do accounts payable, and I really liked it. Goodwill recognized my hard work and dedication, and they hired me as an accounts payable clerk in February of 2001.
After over 12 years at Goodwill, I am happy and grateful that they gave me the opportunity to work. As a result of my injury, I had surgery in 2004 and was out for nine months. Goodwill kept my job open and welcomed me back with open arms. I feel great and happy, and I still learn something new every day. Twelve years ago, I would never have guessed that I would be doing this type of work.
I have learned that anyone that is given a chance and puts forth an effort can move forward. There are so many opportunities at Goodwill, and I am so happy to come to work every day.

Well its a little over a year ago I first joined Flickr and I've absolutely LOVED the connections I've made here. I got a "bit" behind in my posting the last couple of months and have had to admit that catching up isn't possible - sometimes you have to let go of things you love to gain new memories.
In that vein I have been a Barbra Streisand fan since my brother gave me my very first record (Stoney End). That record has moved with me at least 45 times (which considering it is actually not a 45rpm is silly) in the years since - but it, and the other records of hers (and other artists) need to go as they haven't been played in years and are collecting dust.
Moving ahead with a joyous heart, open for new loves. (And yes, I'm staying on Flickr, and of course staying a Barbara Streisand fan, just starting clean this year ;)
The drawer to the right of the stove. The whisk is in here because it's too big for the tool drawer.
Yes, it's a mess. It needs a good declutter. We need to paint this room and put the window treatments (panel curtains) back up. We also have bookshelves that need to fit in here somewhere.
Ms. Cheeky's Workshop Week 2 Extra Credit - Decluttering my DoF. My aperture setting for this photo was 5.6. This lense does go down to 4.0 but lower than 5.6 was resulting in a "fish-eye lense" look where a circle around the turtles head was in focus and everything else was blurred in a sort of circular pattern. Weird.
And I chose black and white because I think just about everything looks better in black and white. I also shot my other Week 2 assignment in black and white and love it much better than the one that I posted, but few people would understand the sheer genius of a black and white photo of a lemon and lime. I like to say they lack vision and creativity!
It's day 27 of my 30 Day challenge, only 3 days left! Today I Dealt with a kitchen cabinet that had gotten so jumbled I couldn't even fit the replacement groceries in. So I emptied the cabinet out, Dumped a few things with scary expiration dates that were buried at the back, then re-organized and re-loaded the cabinet. After wiping up some mystery sauce overflows and adjusting the placement of the middle shelf. Now I can actually see, find, and (most importantly) reach everything that I use on a regular basis.

Sally Charlton looked just divine in her bellydance outfit, as she performed in the bellydance soiree at Lithgow Ironfest, 2010.
Cropped from original RAW image and converted to greyscale in an attempt to "declutter" the background.... and obviously because b&w makes portraits so timeless!

I did it. I finally got everything out of my house that I had stored there. Except the bookcase. But maybe that can stay. Otherwise. Seriously done. It was such a strange journey to sort through years and years of papers and trinkets, stuff that I thought I needed so I put in a box on the shelf ages ago. It stirred many memories, some good, some bad. And the stuff was resorted into trash (I don't know whatv this is or why I have it), Goodwill (someone else may need this trinket that I no longer have an emotional attachemnt to), or rebox and store (this thing completes me and while I won't see it for another few years, I cannot live without it.)
I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I keep a lot of paper just like my Dad. I also figured out that because I keep things, other people like ot give me things they themselves don't want to throw away. I attract things. But I already have too many things. And I think I'm suffering from too-many-things-stress. I think it's really called clutter-stress. But it's real.
I am going to be a minimalist in my next life.
101 Steps to a Simpler Life
That seems like too many steps.
But I got the "sort your items into piles" part down.
A photo documenting one of my attempts to declutter The Room of Doom™ is included in this Goedecker's article on simplifying and going minimalist.
Remember when "minimalism" was a trendy thing? Yeah, my decluttering photos were insanely popular around that time.

I've wanted a new desk for quite some time, but really can't justify the expense when the table I was using is perfectly good, aside from just not fitting the small computer nook too well. Therefore, Darren and I looked around at what we could use to build a desk, and came up with this; two sheets of plywood fastened to two chunks of fence post with some very long wood screws leftover from an older project. We set it on two old nightstands. We keep thinking of ways to improve on the design, but all of them cost money, so I'll just try this one out for awhile...

Spring is almost here! I took a break from crafty photography, and hunkered down for the winter with various projects. It also encouraged me to sift through my craft materials.
A few years ago, I was handed a grocery bag worth of buttons (I love it when crafters think of me when they declutter). Around the same time I went to a vintage fair and bought the chipmunk and bunny cards. I liked the buttons on them, but I was mostly drawn to the cute animals. These were probably old cards that the vender repurposed to make the buttons more distinctive? If so, it worked!
The buttons are mostly Domcord, Streamline, Tiffany and Lady Fashion.
I did a lot of thinking this winter about how to use up all these up. I have lots of ideas, but it will probably take me years.

Very stylish swimming costume for the Chipmunk about town in the 20's.
Made as part of the KAL on Ravelry.
Completed as part of my DeClutter Session in July.
Just a simple shot, showing off my new hair colour.
I did a step aerobics class this morning, then went to town and traded in a million old games and my game cube as part of my mission to declutter before I move. Now I'm going to lie on the sofa for the rest of the day :D I was going to go to the beach but it's raining :(
