I loved playing along with ColorColorLovers, searching for color wherever I went. I only wish I had had more time to wander around outside, hunting color and taking photographs. With such a brutal winter, it just wasn't happening. I was indoors most of the time, so it I had to be creative with my color hunt. And so I decided each week I would round up little things from around the house in that week's color and snap a photo of them all together. It was a lot of fun. I loved walking around the …

365 | January
Today ends month one of my 365 project, and so far this is still fun. Only once was I scrambling at 10:30 p.m. to get a photo (last night).

When we went on a vacation in August, I knew in my gut not to schedule anything when we got back. I needed a break. I was in a total quandary. I didn't pick up my camera for a couple of weeks, but realized that, even though I needed rest from the business, I still wanted to be taking photographs. …
Around Here in Film!
Hi there! The thing about shooting a roll of film a month is it leaves me some thirty-six photos to post (if everything goes well -- December's roll was about 85% successful). So these photos I took one sunny morning seem to fit perfectly for this post. What's been going on around here? Well, it was back to school this week, back to the routine. That meant I had to get back to sitting at my desk everyday for a few hours, but I went to yoga three times, so it all evens out. In the last …
