Add-On

104:365: Reflections

I forgot that I had already taken a photo today...

Only, I'm still a day behind, but I don't know which day I missed. I'm sure it would be easy enough to determine, but who has the time?

Sometimes

Sometimes the best shots are mistakes:

098:365: Self Portrait 05

Sometimes you hold your breath and hope for them to come out right:

099:365: Under the Bridge

Sometimes you're lucky enough to capture the moment at just the right time:

100:365: Connection

Sometimes your subject just keeps giving you opportunities:

101:365: Expectation

Sometimes you wonder whether there's a story behind it:

102:365: Still Life

And sometimes you are certain that there is:

I'm not a big fan of modified photos, but sometimes I think that I've got to fool around as much as I can with this project, even if it's just a way to keep things interesting. The first photo has not been modified in the slightest (except to crop it to the standard size at which I've been cropping all my photos, which is slightly less on the long axis than the photo the camera takes). The second photo, I have posted both versions. I like the first, but felt like it needed...something...to convey what I was trying to with the photo. Mainly because I could not capture the peeling paint on the wall or the shadow of the music stand. So am I using photoshop tools to make up for what I lack as a photographer? Perhaps. But I'm comfortable with that.

Has it really been nine days since I last posted photos? Oh, my. No time for chatter, then. Let's get to it.

095:365: Fairy Sceptre

Dia De Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is approaching, and with it the annual celebration of the "Night of the Dread" in our local park. It is a night during which we face and shout, "Booooo!!!!" at our fears. Our eldest daughter was so pleased with the whole thing, she's been looking forward to it all year, and for months has been asking to go dressed as Sadie the Skeleton Fairy (a fairy of her own invention).

Today we started gathering things for her costume, and I made her a Sadie the Skeleton Fairy shirt. The choice of fabric was inspired by the colourful skulls that feature in many Day of the Dead celebrations. Here is the shirt mid-process...

I'll admit, I'm having a hard time keeping up with the photography. And an even harder time keeping up with the rest of the crew. I still love this project, and I'm excited about it, but there are days when finding time to go to the bathroom is a struggle. Here are the last five days' worth:
