52/52 my family
It's what really matters. I made it all the way through, all 52 weeks. Merry Christmas everyone. FYI, this picture was taken using my remote. Have you ever tried to get a 2 year old to look at a camera when there is no one behind it? haha

52 week project
self portrait
soismileproject52.blogspot.com/
I went to Austin this weekend to take my daughter's engagment photos. They turned out great but I got so hot and sweaty that I was not about to take my own picture. I planned to get up on Sunday morning before we left to take one in an "Austiny" place but it was pouring rain and rained the entire 3 hours home so, today, I went to a historical site in my own town and took my picture. I am really trying to learn to use my flash and I like the way this turned out. I am in the shade of a very large tree with the sun behind me so I used my flash to light myself up.

old books 40/52
The theme for this week's project 52 was a taste for vintage. I decided to stop in at an antique store near my office. I was told they had just received a large shipment of antique furniture and accessories from the French countryside. I asked permission to take pictures and they graciously obliged. I was delighted that several rooms had skylights and that the front of the shop had a great large window. The light was great and I was able to take pictures without flash at 400 ISO.

embracing my laugh lines 38/52
I took this one in my garage. I wanted to emphasize the laugh lines around my eyes so I took my glasses off.

Poor baby was sick this past week with pneumonia. He is feeling better but was only slightly cooperative while I was positioning him in front of the window to get his picture

where the shoes reside 35/52
This week's theme is lazy. In our house, the shoes come off as soon as we walk in the door. Sometimes, we let them pile up quite high before we put them away. My original plan was to shoot the pile of shoes inside the door but I liked the texture of my husband's work boots. The wear and tear on them actually shows me he is anything but lazy when it comes to his job. I love my hard working man.

Me on Monday 8/29
I had a hard time thinking of something to do this week and then i saw the pinwheel on the table. It's a good thing I've been lazy this week and not cleared off the dining room table. haha

It's me on Sunday night 8/21
Taken on the steps of Bedford City Hall on Sunday evening as the sun was starting to go down. I was having trouble getting myself in focus and finally had to break out the flash when it got just a tad too dark in the shade.

This week's read 31/52
This week I read John Grisham's The Confession. It is a very thought provoking novel concerning the death penalty.
Photo Albums 33/52
This week's theme is slow down, look back. I have photo albums dating back to the first year of our marriage in 1977. I love it when the kids and the grandkids pull them out, curl up on the couch and go through them.

Sunday morning on the deck at Mom's 27/52
I spent a lot of time at my Mom's this week while she recuperated from surgery on Monday. I took this out on her deck this morning.
Sunflower 29/52
Get in close. I found this in a yard a couple of blocks from my house. I got close by going into their yard. No one came out to chase me away so I guess it was okay. haha

It's me swinging 26/52
Curtis was napping so I took my tripod and camera to the park around the corner and did some swinging. I got a few with my feet in focus when they were out in front of me but few with my face very sharp. It was fun, though.

It's me in black and white 25/52
My goal for this picture was to catch the lines of light shining through the fence in my backyard as the sun was going down.
