365 project - Day 199 - Non-Candy Candy Necklace

Day 199

I used to love the candy necklaces. I would wear them on the hotest day, running around with my friends, sweat dripping on it, and still take a bite of the candy. My daughter also likes the necklace, but she has no clue that it's candy...yet. She like the smell of them but thinks it's a real necklace, so she always ask to wear it out in ublic. I'm just worried she will run into a kid that knows it candy and they will either tell her or take a bite for themselves. Either way it will be a problem,

Day 198

Spring is finally here and we are getting a short warm up in NE Ohio. Of course, the flowers I wanted to shoot were wilted due to the cold, I shot the ones inside.

Funny how a little bit of light from top a space heater can make for some interesting designs.

365 project - Day 196 - Dark Berry

Day 196

Playing with LED lights again tonight, but using strawberries. I like the looks of the light falling off of the fruit. I will have to give this another shot with a second light to see that I can get.

365 project - Day 195 - Orange

Day 195

Getting a little fruit back into the mix. More importantly I have great news about Chloe the dog, she recently got adopted by a great family!  For the above shot, I lit the orange with a LED light 6" away at the camera left and a speedlite aimed at the background to blow it out.

365 Project - Day 194 - Reserved

Day 194

I photographed the above sign as today we looked at reserving our rooms at the MGM Grand for Skip's Summer School 2010 this coming August. It's an amazing conference that I attended in Vegas last year, midway through the wedding season, that rejuvenated my creativity and helped me reconnect with nature photography, which is my passion in photography. The line up of speakers for 2010 [Scott Bourne, Joe Buissink, Jonathan Canlas, Tony Corbell, Kay Eskridge,  Kevin Kubota, Bobbi Lane, Cliff Mautner, Stacy Pearsall, Dane Sanders, Jasmine Star, Vicki Taufer, Kirk Voclain, Jerry Weiner and coming in from Australia,  Yervant] are more than worth the price of attending, especially with the early bird registration discount making the price $199 [which ends March 31st, 2010]. In addition to the speakers, another value of attending are the sidebar conversations, networking, new friends you will meet, and project you may become engaged in like this 365. I can't wait to see what we all start after this years Summer School! Get a seat Reserved For U at http://mei500.com/.

365 project - Day 193 - Carrot Pie, Carrot Pie!

Day 193

I know you thinking, What is 'Carrot Pie'? well my daughter Sara loves the song Poker Face by Lady Gaga, today she started singing "Carrot Pie Carrot Pie, something something face... po po po po po po po po po face." She was so happy to be doing her thing singing away in the back of the car. Since the song was on Perla's Ipod, I think we replayed the it about 10 times. It was funny to see her start smiling and nodding her head once the beat came in. I was trying to get video of her singing but she wasn't in the mood to be recorded tonight, so I will give it a try over the weekend and post the vid.
