412 Excuses...

well not really that many but you get the idea. october ended up being kind of a sucky month and my photo project was strong for the first 2 weeks or so then petered off. way too much stuff happened and i couldn't get caught up. now it's november (yikes!) and i'm sicker than a dog and sore so i don't want to post anything. ugggggghhhhh. so that's all you get. i'm only posting b/c i'm so boreeeed being in bed ALL DAY literally. so this pic is not from october but whatever.

yesterdays photo of the day is from a photo shoot i did with a family in the morning. unfortunately yesterday was a very sunny day and that's not always best with photos so we made it work. i chose these pictures b/c this was some old weird statue we found on the WCC campus we were trying to figure out what it was but couldn't. oh well.

i'm playing catch up today i suppose it's been a busy couple days. on wed. i had to come up with something to teach about photography...well i didn't really plan anything so i just had them ask questions and it ended up being pretty lame but in all that time i guess i forgot to take a real picture of the day. this was a practice picture to get my settings back on track but it's a picture right! whatever the 7th will just be a throwaway day i guess.

i tired to post this last night but my internet went down right as i got on dangit. oh well it's not very cool. i need to start taking picture when there's daylight. maybe i'll try that today.

this is my CTR ring. i'm running out of things inside to take pictures of.

tonight i'm "teaching" about photography to the YW group at church...i have no idea what i'll say or do but that's what i'm going to figure out now. yikes. i don't know what to do!!!!!

is this what i look like when i take pictures?! GOSH. look at that weirdo face i make. sorry to whoever has had to deal with that before. maybe since i don't wear mascara this is the earths way to make me make funny faces without meaning to. (you know how girls make weird faces when they put that stuff on their face? it's not intentional but you can't help it). anyways i decided to take a picture in the window reflection but that's not the picture of the day this is,

it's an old coke bottle crate my mom has. i ran a dirty picture texture on it for fun. weirddddd pictures i am taking for this project. whatever at least i'm following through with something.

I love spiderwebs. a lot of people are creeped out by spiders but i don't mind them. of course i don't want it crawling on me but if i see one in the house i'll catch it and release it back to the "wild".

today i was going to pick shelley up and saw this on my deck so i grabbed my camera when i got home and took some pictures. there were bigger and better ones a few weeks ago but i didn't take pictures...:(

Today's random image is of a blanket i'm knitting. that's what i get for waiting until late to take a picture...again. oh well. i just saw the movie whip it. it was pretty darn funny but i can't take pictures of a movie so this will have to do. i think i screwed up the settings on my camera yesterday so i'll have to figure it out before i take senior pics for a friend tomorrow :\

also, it's pretty cold around these parts (my house) since i guess it's against our religion to turn on the heat before Oct. 31st. so maybe i'll knit some arm/hand warmers to make knitting a little less cold.

p.s. sorry you have to put up with this random junk i won't be offended if you point and laugh at me.

Oct. Project

SOOOOOOO i haven't posted in awhile that doesn't mean i haven't taken pictures though, quite the opposite actually i just don't have time to post the thousands of pics. i have taken but maybe I'll catch up eventually (longest run on sentence much?!). on to why i posted today. i decided 12 minutes ago to do a photo-a-day project for October since it's my favorite season. my plan is to take a picture everyday and post it here...some days i might not have time to post but I'll for sure take a pic. each day. i took two tonight b/c i wanted to. these aren't anything special AT ALL but it was what i could find at 10:30.

a random chalkboard....? ok this will be an interesting project i guess

and my 45 adapter necklace that kinda looks like the light fish from finding nemo a little bit.

well i kind of promise the other pictures will be better....?! hopefully.

Cattle Point Wedding

on Monday I went to Cattle Pt. in Friday Harbor. I took pics for a very low key wedding. I'll tell you what, low key is my favorite and I don't think I ever want to go back! there were like 10 people there and it was so nice and special. here are a few pictures from their day, i have lots and lots more to edit. I may be going too funky for most people but hopefully they will like them. So far I've edited most of just the bride but i have a few with both of them.
Looking at these pics now I'm a little nervous that they are too over the top...maybe i'll stop experimenting and just do some normal ones. haha

Fight the Shun take 2

since all the boys in my brothers band are still in high school, we took advantage of spring break and went downtown for another photo shoot. they are kind goofy but that's ok. here are just a handful of pictures. i really don't want to upload any more although there are lots.

of course we had to do the abbey road imitation...but as soon as we got to the cross walk, 100 cars came so it was quick and nobody could decide who wanted to be paul mccartney and take their left shoe off so all shoes were left on. it didn't turn out too good so we are going to try finding a less busy crosswalk at another time. we spent lots of time in alleyways today. we went around 11...BAD TIME! it was an amazingly nice day...but in photography land it kinda sucked. oh well. there may be more coming of these guys.

Fight the Shun Album Shoot

My brother is in a band with some friends and they are going to be recording an album next week. We decided they needed some real band pictures. Yesterday we were all down in Mt. Vernon for the Battle of the Bands they competed in (they were the youngest there. here is an article from the newspaper). Afterwards we stopped at a cool old bridge to take the pictures. We didn't have time for the more elaborate photos we were planning those will have to come next week maybe.

Adriana & Michael Engagement

I was asked to take pictures for an old friend from High School. Adriana and Michael met their junior year (my senior yr) in English class. It was a joke between a few of us and Adriana that Michael was kinda goofy and a know-it-all but now we know he's a nice guy. So a couple "bathroom books" and scrabble games later they are engaged. In a few months time I'll have pictures from their wedding but for now here are some engagement photos:
