Still experimenting with my macro lens and I happened to have some brand new flowers. I took them to a well lit spot and snapped away. Only when you get close, there’s a lot less light. I went up in…

Star and Ack!
I’m working on something new that I’ve been meaning to do for a long long time. Something else always comes first. But this time, Project Run and Play helped me out. The November/December challenge is fabric manipulation. I had so…

Photo Monday – A New Toy
And it’s 100mm macro lens! I got it as a birthday/Christmas gift from my family and M. It’s one of the less expensive models but the price is still rather gasp inducing. It’s just the way it is with photography.…
Denim Moss
You know that quick project I started last Friday? I finished it over the weekend and took pictures at the same time as the top. So, same main picture for the post. Lazy? Umm yes. But also, I realized that…

Actually, I think it might finally be done. I want to let it rest for a day or two before I decide. As it stands, I’ve done my best but I’m not sure the finishing is exactly what I would have…
Photo Monday – Prospect Park

Slooooow
I finished making my fabric! On Monday, actually… But I’m nowhere near finished-project-land. The girls had a day off on Tuesday. I guess it’s a good thing I said I was going to take my time. Besides, every time I…
