Day 5 of 365

Okay, I promise (to myself mostly) that tomorrow I will spend more time actually focusing on taking some nice photos!  After a quick jaunt around the house this evening, here is my documenting of life today...

So, what do the photos mean? Well,

Every time I'm in the kitchen these days I seem to be tripping over at least one of the cats.  Usually, with the baby in my arms, I look down and this is what I see.

The other thing about my day?  I successfully made it out for a workout and a swim.  This is my worn out gear waiting by our even more worn out front door.  Not pretty, but then again, going for a workout isn't always about being pretty.  Know what I mean?

Day 4 / 365

Today I decided to play around with focus, and used my messy kitchen as my muse.  I took many shots of everyday mundane messes (and a cute mess) and here are my three favorites from what I was able to capture. 

 

As I'm posting this quite late at night, I haven't had much time to photoshop them other than a few auto adjustments and a little cropping.

 

Day 3 of 365

Jamie helped me pack up the Christmas tree today.  Well, she helped by rolling around in the crinkly wrapping paper and pull apart old ornaments.  Regardless of the damage that ensued, it was a great chance for some photo taking!

This one was my fave of the bunch and has been edited through using Photoshop

 

This one is SOOTC (straight out of the camera) with only a little cropping

Resolutions

So, I don't tend to make 'resolutions' BUT I do like set some goals for each year.  So here's my list for 2011...

1. Take one photo per day for the whole year
2. Make the most out of the rest of my maternity leave
3. Travel outside the province with family in tow at least once
4. Lose the baby weight (and stop blaming any extra weight on the baby)
5. Learn how to use my DSLR camera

Day 2 of 365

Today I played around with a few shots and even ventured outside with Jamie in tow.  Challenge is... I can't bring myself to post just one shot, so here are a few favorites from the day.

Ringing in the New Year

Greetings to 2011!

We rung in the new year in style at home as only new parents can... pizza, a movie, champagne, and our little one tucked into bed for the night!

365 Days of Photos

Yes yes... I know I haven't posted in FOREVER...  but life has been tied up by a wonderful little person and just general day to day living.

But enough of the excuses!  Today my blog is about to take a bit of a detour.  As anyone who knows me knows... I LOVE photography, and I've finally got a camera that is truely "photography" worthy.  So, along with many other ladies on The Bump's photography thread, I am pledging to take at least one photo per day for 2011.   This blog is going to host my daily photos, and document life in 2011 as our little grows, and as I learn more about how to take photos with my Rebel T2i.
