Wednesday, April 13, 2005 day thirty - forty-eight photos                     i did it! yay. 1039 photos taken! Tuesday, April 12, 2005 day twenty-nine - forty-nine photos        websites you may enjoy visiting, since today's photos are pretty sucky: www.tradetricks.org rhizome.org los angeles flights 991 down, 9 to go! Monday, April 11, 2005 day twenty-eight - ninety-two photos                             942 down, 58 to go! Sunday, April 10, 2005 day twenty-seven - one hundred fifteen photos                           i didn't expect to feel as comfortable in church this morning as i did. i didn't expect the worship to come as easily as it did. i didn't expect conviction to replace the usual distraction in my head. and i certainly didn't expect to look forward to going back as much as i do. thank you, Lord, for meeting me there and knowing that's where i needed to be this morning. and thank you for ladies so full of the spirit they cannot keep still as they worship. 850 down, 150 to go! Saturday, April 9, 2005 day twenty-six - sixty-three photos                        today combined two of my favorite things: driving and photography. i drove back roads that i don't normally travel. they're low traffic, so i was able to just stop & shoot photos when i wanted, plus the good old shooting out the window as i drove. i did that with april in the car yesterday. she didn't pee her pants so it couldn't have been too scary. and i'm getting better at aiming without looking through the view finder. surely that skill will come in handy someday. i updated my pc tonight. among the best results: i just surfed through 6 xanga sites, and ie did not crash even once. also good: i can now comment on xanga sites from my pc instead of having to fire up the ibook. nothing to complain about: i gained an icon for my ftp client, so it no longer looks generic and rejected on my desktop. 735 down, 265 to go! goodmorning saturday personally, i think 1pm is a fine time to sleep to on a saturday. especially when one hasn't gotten much rest the week before, even if it is due to her own odd obsession with website jumping. but, as i've stated before, i've got a crazy crush on blogs and i often just don't know when to stop reading them and go to bed. good news for the weekend: - the server on which i need to do appraisals for work will be down this weekend, so i don't need to feel a bit guilty about not doing them. - the sun is, in fact, shining and it's supposed to be in the 70's. - i just heard the words "chili dogs" like how i'm starting to intersperse non-photo related posts in here to get you ready for the end of the month of a thousand photographs? Friday, April 8, 2005 days twenty-three thru twenty-five - one hundred twenty-one photos                           i'm getting there. i've got five more days in which i need to take 328 photos. i can do that. that's about 65 photos a day. i can totally do that. so now i'm wondering how hard it would be to take 10,000 photos in a year. that's less than 1000 a month... but for a much longer period of time. i think it would be difficult. and since i'm really good at putting things off until the last minute, i'm pretty sure it would blow up in my face. but there is only one way to find out. :) 672 down, 328 to go! Thursday, April 7, 2005 non-photo related post well, not exactly non-photo related, but much less so than the norm lately. norm... now *that's* a good name for a bulldog. wednesday's the final day of this month long, photo frenzy adventure of mine. i do think i'll make it. just in case you're doubtful. :) however, that also means that as of next thursday... i need to re-design this site. because i will not re-open the old site. it's still active, in case you really miss it. it's right here. but i think i like this whole white-space look. maybe i'll toss the links to the bottom. and, much to greg's approval i'm sure, the new one will be done with tables, not frames. :) regardless. yes, i took photos the past two days. yes, you will see some of them. but first i need to recharge the ol' battery, which first requires running it out completely. well, it doesn't require it so much as i prefer it. but anyways... perhaps i should add links to the old photo month posts... hmm.. Tuesday, April 5, 2005 day twenty-two - fifty photos                      ugh. i must keep up this pace to hit my mark. next week looks promising for a photo lunch or two... but next wednesday is the last day. 8 days to shoot almost 450 photos. quick math - i need to take more than 50 a day to hit that. well, hmph. i'll do it. just you watch. :) well, april, there are about 40 more just of jeff & bob throwing that ball... if you're really that interested. :) both the photos i shot of coco were too blurry. the little stinker. today's battle wounds - i sliced my index finger open on a piece of glass while trying to fish out my mirror for the light photos. and then sliced into my thumb trying to put the mirror back where it belonged. i'm a klutz. 551 down, 449 to go! Monday, April 4, 2005 days fifteen thru twenty-two - one hundred forty-two photos                                           yes, i really did take 142 photos in the past week. no, i'm really not going to post them all here. sorry. it's a lot of coding that i just really don't want to do. so above are the best of the bunch. enjoy! i hit the halfway mark! 501 down, 499 to go. Sunday, March 27, 2005 days twelve, thirteen, and fourteen - sixty-two photos                                                              if you know me & my family... you may understand the humor of the photos from easter at my house. yes, the bunny really is pooping the m&ms. and the jelly beans. yes, the bunny really is being dispensed from the ice machine. and yes, my mother really is wearing target peeps on her head. :) 369 down, 631 to go. Thursday, March 24, 2005 day eleven - one hundred one photos                                                                                                      photo lunch! today was a gorgeous sunny afternoon, and april & i took full advantage of it. there's a war memorial just down the street from our office, so we finally took a trip down there & shot some photos. 307 down, 693 to go. Wednesday, March 23, 2005 day ten - eighteen photos                   driving photos. i wonder if i could mount a tripod on my dashboard. one with a moveable arm... 206 down, 794 to go. Tuesday, March 22, 2005 day nine - twenty-seven photos                            yes, more time lapse photos from driving home. c'mon, they look pretty cool, right? and driving seems to be the best time for me to take photos. perhaps not always the safest, but it hasn't caused any problems yet. :) i do want to try the time lapse in the daytime. and perhaps even at the office. aimed at peoples feet, so no one gets all freaked out about there being a camera. 188 down, 812 to go. Monday, March 21, 2005 day eight - thirty-seven photos                                      i was up for the sunrise this morning. much too early, but it got me taking photos early. on the way home from dinner i set my camera for 30 second exposures, set the camera on my dashboard & shot away. i may explore this on the way *to* work some morning, as well. 161 down, 839 to go. Sunday, March 20, 2005 day seven - thirty-seven photos                                      fun with tissue paper & white glue. :) i'll snap more photos of these when they're done. plus you get photos of dinner & dessert. i mean, i gotta take photos of something, right? so today you get a bit of a documentary of my evening cooking adventures, and some lights. because i'm slightly fascinated with lights. and pattern. oh, and you get some reflections, too. there's lots in a kitchen that reflects - refrigerators, windows, oven doors. i like the one of my feet. :) and i crossed the 100 mark! yay! 124 down, 876 to go. Saturday, March 19, 2005 day six - four photos    yeah, i know. four photos is pretty pitiful, especially for a saturday. i suppose i could've taken a photo of the office... just to show that it's just as much fun on a saturday as it is during the week. :) instead you get my father's tile project, a dying (or surviving, depending on how you look at it) plant, and the first photo of my new little cousin emily. tomorrow has been designated as a craft day. so expect photos. :) 87 down, 913 to go. Friday, March 18, 2005 day five - nineteen photos                    railroads and stoplights. i'll admit i'm fascinated with motion photography. 83 down, 917 to go. Thursday, March 17, 2005 day four - seventeen photos                  spring is coming. the crocuses are proof. :) 64 down, 936 to go. Wednesday, March 16, 2005 day three - twenty-one photos                      so tonight i realized that the links aren't working correctly on my mac. so, my guess is, it's not working on anyone else's mac, either. the windows don't resize correctly; the images are being cut off. hopefully when i correct that problem, it will make it so everyone [including you, jessica :)] will be able to get the links to work. that will not, however, be resolved tonight. i'll tackle it this weekend, and update all the old posts so everything works. my apologies in the interim. today i took advantage of my driving time as photography time. i situated my camera on my dashboard & shot a photo every three miles (approximately) on my way to work. and then did some playing while waiting for a light on the way home. not bad. i need to start thinking more along these lines to get the photos taken. thinking outside the box is good. this is challenging. 47 down, 953 to go. Tuesday, March 15, 2005 day two - twelve photos             today i spent exactly 10 minutes outside. walking to my car to go to work. walking from the car into a meeting. walking to my car to go to the office. walking from the car into the building. walking to my car to drive home. walking from the car into my house. walking across the street to get the mail. walking back across the street to bring the mail inside. 10 minutes. from the looks of it, today was a nice day. lots of sunshine & i'm pretty sure the thermometer across the street registered above 40 degrees. i, however, got to stay inside. busy, busy, busy. which leads to all indoor photographs, mostly taken after i got home & mostly because i couldn't put up just two photos on my second day. so there they are. my twelve photos. (those cute little squares are links to full photographs.)tomorrow, perhaps, i shall walk around the building at lunch. and take pictures of things that are alive. or, at least, feel the sunshine. :) 26 down, 974 to go. Monday, March 14, 2005 day one - fourteen photos               i started this challenge on a pretty good day. seeing as i spend 8-10 hours a day in an office, there are a limited number of photo ops that i'm going to run across while i'm at work. however, today jeff came back from his little cruise vacation. and, of course, we decorated his desk while he was gone. quickest job we've done yet. bubblewrap & packing peanuts. no, not as exciting as the tin foil... but much more fun to sit on. :) plus, the packing peanuts are the kind that dissolve. so if you get the ends wet, you can mash 'em together and make cool shapes out of them. funny prank AND lasting entertainment. now that's what a good day at work should be made of. Sunday, March 13, 2005 challenge accepted i have challenged myself to take one thousand photographs in the next 30 days. yes, one thousand photographs. approximately 33 per day. what good is having a camera if i don't use it? |
