Project 365: 1-3-2011 Sunny Slope

While Taylor and Jeremy were home for Christmas, they took Sue, Ashley and myself to the place they are having their wedding. Beautiful place! They are having a free-spirited country wedding at Sunny Slope Farm in Alton, NH. Can't wait! I took a ton of pictures. And as usual, the pictures I took of them were kind of blurry. I seem to have trouble staying in focus with people. I do need to work on that. But inanimate objects (like the barn) turn out pretty good.
Here's the barn kind of smiling at me. Makes me happy!

So one of my tasks this year is to take better pictures of real people!
Have a good day!

Project 365 : 1-2-2011 Champagne Relief

Had a great New Years with Sue, Ashley, Tom, Jordan, and Shelbie. Chinese Food, games, and many Pina Coladas and Root! And no, I didn't over-do it. But I specifically went out and bought some alka seltzer for a photo op. Didn't actually drink it, but thought the bubbles looked interesting.

So, now you know. Alka-seltzer cures stomache issues and looks cool...

Project 365 - 1-1-11

Ok, I've been really having brain cramps lately trying to come up with some new material. So I thought I would try the Project 365 challenge, which is to take a photo a day and record what is going on in my life, and try to improve my photography skills. I'll give it a shot. There may be occasions where pictures where not exactly taken today, but you'll get the "picture". Ba-dump-bump.

So this post is the results of a wonderful day spent with my daughter Taylor and future son-in-law Jeremy. For Christmas, they gave me all the tools and ingredients to make sushi. We love sushi, and they have become experts at making it. So they spent the afternoon with Sue and I on the day after Christmas, and taught us how to make sushi! It was delicious, and I appreciate the quality time we had that day. Loved having them home from Philly for Christmas, and this was a special day.

So on Day 1 of my Project 365, here's the results of our work.



Yeah, mine are the "Fatties". Need more practice!
Until next time...WASABI!!
