Project365: Week 2
I am loving Project 365 on Flickr but I’m not getting much else done in my down time. One morning I spent several hours chasing rainbows around the city while I should have been home scrubbing sinks. Documenting rainbows will enrich my life more than having clean bathrooms, right?
It was a beautiful week in Reno. Sun, cleansing rain and perfect snow at Mt. Rose. Above are a few photos I shot around town.
Counter clockwise:
1. A rainbow over Lakeside Drive
2. The trees in our yard reflecting off our clean car
3. My husband skiing at Mt. Rose
4. My crabby child at Old Navy
It’s a bit challenging coming up with new and unique material to photograph. I have the cutest kids on the block, but I doubt my cyber friends want 365 days of Jack and Kate. One night I took 43 photos of a pot of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. At that moment I decided it was time to give myself a weekly assignment. Something to give me focus and help me learn the technical details of my camera.
Week two’s accidental assignment was ‘Life around Reno.’ In week three I will concentrate on learning to use the macro feature of my 35 mm lens (perfect for a mac n cheese study).
Snort about the 43 shots of dinner. Been there this week myself.
Great week lady!
Haha I took about 30 shots of the graffiti wall I shot for day 7 before deciding I probably looked really suspicious! I think I need to assign myself a weekly theme/topic to shoot so I’m not running around my house setting up little vignettes of random things
Thanks ladies. I think 30 shots of a wall or dinner is part of the process. A nice little wake up call to think outside the box. Caitlin, I did love your graffiti shot.
Mmmmmm, looking forward to the mac n cheese!
Love that you are participating in Project 365. I tried last year, but got sidetracked somehow. Good luck to you. Can’t wait to see what kind of pictures you take this year!
