January 1-7. Week 1/52: Fun with bath crayons!


Moses got bath crayons in his Christmas stocking, and he loves to scribble in the tub. He took a quick break to give me some smiles, though.

New Challenge

Okay. So last year I attempted Project 365, and failed around day 290. But I tell myself I didn't REALLY fail, because I did 79% of the photos, so technically that's a B. Go me! LOL. Anyway. . .

This year I am setting the bar much lower and attempting Project 52 Weeks. I definitely take a photo a week, no question, so unless things get completely out of control over here I should be able to keep up. The challenge will be actually blogging them, but I do want to do that so at the end of the year I can make a Blurb book of my photos and the stories behind them.

I also need to show off my latest photography-related DIY project: A camera bag!

I got the bag at H&M, and converted using padding, fabric, and a glue-gun.

The Result:




Okay. Let the 2011 photo challenge begin!

A Year in Photos: 2010

January:
Moses' first time in the snow. Not so bad for my first week with my DSLR and kit lens circa 1990!



February:
Still need to master the art of the black and white conversion. I used a Valentine's Day table cloth from Dollarama for this shot!

March:
My happy boy. I think I had a lightscoop at this point.


April:
Determined to master the swing shot.


May:
I love this one because it captures his goofy personality so well.


June:
Fathers Day gift for Calin.


July:
First birthday shoot.


August:
At the petting zoo in Peterborough.

September:
On the slides with daddy while visiting my cousin and her new baby.

Annual Thanksgiving weekend photoshoot!

Getting ready to send out Christmas cards.

Happy New Year, everyone!




Whee!

Pumpkin Patch Photo Comparison

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with Moses. We went last October as well, and I thought it would be fun to do some comparison shots. Moses is older and had so much more fun this year. Also, last year's photos were taken with my point and shoot, and this years were taken with my DSLR.

Some additional shots from this year:

Sitting on the tractor.
He said "dog" for the first time today!
Walking through the leaves.
  
Enjoying the hay jump.
Having fun on the hay ride.


Last year we gave someone our point and shoot and they took this lovely picture for us (for free):



This year, we paid five dollars for this crap:
We had to scan it, so its sideways :/

At least its a picture of all of us together, though.

Last year Moses fell asleep in the wagon before we left:


This year he fell asleep in the living room when we got home, after refusing several attempts by us to put him to bed.



 Happy Fall!
