Day Twenty

Sorry for the late post but it's better late then never. Today's subject was something I drew. I drew this oil pastel painting for my mother as a gift for Mother's Day last year. I adore this. It features pansy flowers.

Day Nineteen

Today's subject was orange. First thing that came to mind was my brother's crazy orange hair but sadly he's in Fairbanks for school right now. Instead I photographed the bench built into our back deck. The sun was hitting it beautifully. Here's today's photo:

I hope everyone's day is going well. See ya tomorrow!

Day Eighteen

Today was supposed to be my hair but it's blah. Instead I decided to photograph my class ring. It came in today. I love it so much. One side is the year and then Girl Scout logo because I've been in it for thirteen years. The other side is my name and a photography icon because it was during high school that I really discovered my love for it. My birthstone is peridot. The cut is prism in case anyone was wondering.

Day Seventeen: Something I Don't Like

I'm so sorry about not posting for the last two days. I've been busy. Sunday's photo was supposed to be a sunset. I waited for it but I got distracted with watching Tough Love. Yesterday's was supposed to be a flower but I was busy with doing a fashion show with Girl Scout troop which was tons of fun.

For today's photo of the day, I don't like that there is still snow on the ground. I want it all to be gone and never come back. Although that would never happen in Alaska. If you can't all ready tell, I'm ready for summer.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. See you tomorrow!

Day Fourteen: How I Feel Today

Today I feel like spring/summer. I wore a lightweight dress, leggings, a light cardigan, and flip flops out shopping around. I didn't need a coat. I'm loving this weather. I'm ready for summer. Today's photo goes to my mom. She made these wonderful cherry blossom earrings. I love them.

I hope everyone is soaking up the sun.

Day Thirteen: Something I Found

Recently, I was reunited with my lovely iPod. I thought I had lost it somewhere like school or out in public. No, I was sadly mistaken. It was in one of my bedside table drawers buried underneath clutter. I really need to de-clutter.

Also, today I saw Wrath of the Titans. It was so good. I recommend it, but you should watch the first one Clash of the Titans.

Day Tweleve: Stairs

Today has been a distressing day. I went outside to take my photo. I was getting some really good ones. The lighting was really lovely. I felt happy and inspired therefore I stayed out longer. A half an hour goes by, I'm satisfied with my photographs. I go back inside. Then, I put my memory card into my computer to look at the pictures. I stared in disappointment. All of my pictures were tinted blue. The only thing I could think was that my white balance was off. Sure thing it was. I opened my editing program to try and save it but I could not. I went back outside and I tried to redo my pictures. The lighting was all off and my camera battery was dieing. I gave up and went back inside.

But have no fear there is still a photo today. I might not love it, but it'll have to do.

Tomorrow I'll try to retake my pictures once again. I hope everyone's day is going better than mine.

See ya tomorrow!

Day Eleven: Where I Ate Breakfast

Today, technically, I ate breakfast at school but I didn't feel like lugging my camera around. Although this morning, I grabbed a cookie my mom and I made the other night. You see the flower container on the counter? That's where the cookies are. I stood there and ate my cookie before dashing to school.

Now I'm off to watch The Illusionist for my Cinema's As Art homework. I hope you had a wonderful day.

Day Ten: Cold

I was going to take a photograph of the inside of the fridge, but I thought that wouldn't of been very artistic. My mom threw out the idea of putting me out in the snow that is still in our front yard. Then it hit me. What else is cold? Ice! *cue Outkast's song Hey Ya* "Now what's cooler than bein' cool? (ICE COLD!)" Plus I love that my mom has pink ice trays. Here's today's photograph:

Day Nine: Younger Me

Today's photo is a photograph of another photograph. This is myself when I was six and a half months old. It was taken for my christening, as my mother tells me. I love this picture of me. Although, I don't think it looks like me.

Day Eight: Inside My Wallet

I was stumped on how to do today's photo. I looked at my wallet and saw my big bulge where I kept my spare change. I wanted to incorporate it since I figured also most everyone has change in their wallet. Here's the result:

I was snapping pictures of the coins and I got this great image. I'm in love with it.

Baking Cupcakes and Dyeing Eggs for Easter

Happy Easter everyone! I hope all your bellies were full from eating yummy food. Mine certainly was. Last night, my mom and I made yummy carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. She wanted to bring in some goodies into work since she worked today.

We also had fun dyeing eggs. We used a different dye kit. It was weird. They only gave us three colors. Pink, blue, and green. You put your egg in a bag then add drops of dye to it. Then swish it around. After, you could add the glitter to it if you wanted to. Of course, we did. Easy, fun, and barely any mess was made. 

I love all the colors we made. They taste yummy too! There's a yummy pistachio pudding pie in the fridge. I might dig into it now.

Happy Easter everyone!

Day Seven: Shadows

I wasn't sure what to do for today's photo until I was randomly looking at my hand. I saw the shadow and photographed it.  Here's the results:

For tomorrow's post, it'll be all about Easter. Keep your eyes peeled. I hope you're having a wonderful day.

Day Six

Today was supposed to be lunch but I didn't eat one so I replaced it with a new topic. My hair. I got it cut and curled. I thought I should document it since it only happens not very often.

Here's my instagram photo too. 

Day Five: Tiny

I received my cap, tassel, and stole today for my graduation. It got me thinking. I am a tiny part of the graduating class of 2012. Not just for Colony High but for the whole world. The tassel not only symbolizes my achievement of graduating high school but it says that I am a tiny part of the graduating of 2012 at Colony High School. Graduation is forty days away. It's sad and exciting at the same time.

Day Four: Someone Who Makes You Happy

That person is my lovely mother. I can always count in her to make me feel better when I'm feeling down. She is also the person to tell me if I look good in something. She's my best friend. I love you Mom!

My mom and I also sent out my brother's Easter care package. I'll post those pictures when he get it. I don't want to spoil it for him.

I hope you are having a fantastic day.

Day Three: Mail

I was really excited for this one. I thought I should wait until I got today's current mail. I'm so glad I did. My mom got a wonderful card from her best friends in New York. It brightened my day even though it wasn't for me.

Here's what was inside the card:

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. See you tomorrow.

A Photo A Day in April

One of my friends on my Facebook posted this:

I have been wanting to do a 365 but I didn't want to make the commitment right away. I thought this will give me a little preview of what it's like for the 365. 

Day One: Your reflection

     This photo was taken in my mother's bathroom. I've always admired her purple bathroom. I thought there was no better place to take a picture of my reflection. 

Day Two: Color
   
     I was pondering what color I should capture. Turquoise is my favorite color. Then, I looked at my sheets and snapped away. Here's the results:

Yes I know I'm a little late. Better late then never.

Welcome!

Here's my photography blog. I'm not sure if I like this idea or not. We'll see how this goes.
