Photo a Day: #7

It was laundry day at my house. So as I was folding clothes I practiced using the macro setting on my camera to snap a few buttons. I kinda like how this one turned out. I didn't even really edit it much. A slight change to the white balance was all.

And this happens to be a button on one of my favorite pairs of jeans. I've had them for ages and they are about to get holes in the knees so I guess they are soon to be retired. Sad.

Or maybe they'll make their summer debut as shorts...

Photo a Day: #6

Disclaimer: I hate this photo day. I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I saw this topic for the day. It's possibly the worst time of day to stop and take a photo. Isaac is usually either crying, trying to help in dinner prep, or causing some mischief. The lighting is terrible, especially by the time we actually sit down to dinner. I guess that's why it's called a challenge, right.

Needless to say, I don't care for this picture at all. But it's where I found time to stop and pull out the camera so it's what you get.

And, in case you are wondering, we had Shephard's pie for dinner. It was delicious.

Photo a Day: #5

A pretty accurate portrayal of what our house looks like not just at 10 am. Constantly covered in toys!

Photo a Day: #4

I know. This is a pretty loose interpretation of the subject. And a pretty crappy photo at that. (I didn't even use my nice camera...for shame). But let's be honest, I'm not doing this photo a day challenge to link up with others or to be "by the book." I'm mostly doing it to motivate me to learn a little more about photography and get a little better using the camera I have. And, quite frankly, taking photos of strangers is a little creepy and uncomfortable to me.

But we did build this strange guy today. He did start out with rock eyes but they fell out of their sockets...gross.

It was a first for Isaac. And, actually, Jacob and I had never built a snowman together before. I'll post more of the other photos later.

So there you have it. My slightly cheating photo for day 4.

Photo a Day: #3

I must admit, this was not the photo I intended to capture, nor do I love it. But time was running out in this day and I didn't want to get behind on this challenge on only day 3.

So, it is what it is.

Bonus Picture

After looking through my photos from today (again) I couldn't decide which one I liked better so I had to post this one too. Which do you think is a better photo for "words" as a theme? Or, which one do you think is better regardless of theme.

I'm torn.
