365 Update

I have been a busy bee with albums, processing and new client inquiries for next year. I have managed however to do my best to stay with my 365 project. It has been a while since I updated this blgo with my photos so with some time this afternoon I decided to make it my project.

Did I seriously last post for image #17? We've got some catching up to do...

18/365 ~ "The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself." - Alan Alda

Every day after work I go by the rec center. I pass this same bush. I've always though how interestingly enough the buds look like people hair flowing in the wind. They just look so free...

19/365 ~ “All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea." - Napoleon

I don't know why but I love these berries. Sihlouette or not I have photographed them time and again. When I showed this to my husband he said "Don't you already have that photo?

20/365 ~ “For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Experimenting with Bokeh. You really have to look for it, then experiment with settings until at last it shines through creamy and contrasty. Just the way I like it...

21/365 ~ "The world is but a canvas to the imagination" - Henry David Thoreau

My husband and I decided to hold a pumpkin carving contest. This is my little neice. She is so creative. Its funny when she gets in her zone nothing distracts her. She is on a mission. She has this camera smile and is usually very aware of having her picture taken. This was a real treat to catch her in action before getting caught.

22/365 ~ "We know what we are, but know not what we may be." - William Shakespeare

I got these Time Life books a while back. Everytime I open them I am inspired. I'm a photobook/photomagazine junkie...

23/365 ~ “Fashions fade, style is eternal.” - Yves Saint Laurent

I love my husband's style. He loves his Calvin Klein tie collection, Joseph Abboud dress shirts and ofcourse he never leaves home without his Kenneth Cole watch. Yet still manages to look great in jeans and a ball cap, I am a lucky girl

24/365 ~ Tootsies

This is believe it or not the very first appearance of my tootsie on the internet lol. I was painting them red hot for date night tomorrow and couldn't resist...

25/365 ~ "Your voice makes me tremble inside and your smile is an invitation For my imagination to go wild." - Anonymous

Raspberry Margarita consumed on date night processed ala 'Raspberry Coffee'

26/365 ~ “Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower” - Albert Camus

I just loved how 'leafy' these looked. Not at all like your typical leaf, more special, more unique.

27/365 ~ "The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box. " - Henri Cartier-Bresson

While on photo safari I discovered these delicate little flowers. I first fell in love with the bokeh but in black and white I love it even more...

28/365 ~ “When the solution is simple, God is answering.” - Albert Einstein

Little white chapel in Virginia Dale. It sits all alone among the rolling hills and mountains. Passing it at sunset it was just to good to pass by without visiting with my camera.

29/365 ~ "There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.” - Ernst Haas

Introducing Baby #3, my brand new D300. It arrived yesterday and my husband put a big red bow on it for me. I got to play with it a little bit last night and *swoon* Im in love...

30/365 ~ "I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life." - The Notebook

My lovely husband included this note in the box of my new camera. Loving him is easy...

31/365 ~ “There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.” - Federico Fellini

DHB at work. I just realized I had yet to have a picture of the actual CAMERA. Yes this is my new love...

32/365 ~ “Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid.” - Jules Feiffer

Tonight I headed out to find my 365 photo... Out into blistering cold. After a few attempts I couldn't hold the camera still enough from shivering lol so I had to go inside to find some creativity. I couldn't resist the pop of these colors.

32/365 ~ "People only see what they are prepared to see.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am useless without these. Photo processed with Cinnamon Rose Actions.

34/365 ~ Beadkeh

Hello my name is Stephanie and I am a bokeholic.

35/365 ~ "Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee” - Stephanie Piro
