This year I’ve finally started taking more people photos. They need work and I’m still really shy about it, but it’s a start. I had a mission to photograph all of the workroom family and that has really helped. It’s just so much easier to take a photograph of a jar of jam!

Finally some more 365. I’m really having a summer of reflection, spending a lot of time looking back. I am constantly trying to make sure that I also don’t forget to be in the moment. Something with the moons and eclipses have been off for me in the last few months. So I am just trying to get through this funny time. I have high hopes for August and the fall, though!

You can see here that we were working on our online shop since March (and before). I can’t believe we started creating those floss palettes in March. It took so long to get it all together. This is the fun part now.

p.s. I really love looking at snowy photos in July.

I really like the look of February. Lots of stitching and quilting happening.

Here are two more photos of the same subject, different days. The second photo below is one of my favourites from this year.

I had some time over the long weekend to finally start organizing my 365 project for 2011. Wow, I fell very behind with the posting of these photos! It’s kinda fun to look back at the wintery first months of the year and see all the SNOW everywhere when right now I’m lying under my ceiling fan dreaming of ice cream and lemonade. (and ways to combine those two things)

One thing I love about 365 is the repetition and themes that evolve throughout the year. Looking back and seeing photos of the same thing or place from different perspectives is so fun. Just south of Bloor on Lansdowne I would pass by a building with bicycles all locked up to a railing in the snow every night on my walk home from work. I stopped on several occasions to shoot this spot even though it was usually pretty cold. (and also pretty late) I love the dramatic lighting, especially.

Happy New Year! I spent the first day of the year organizing the last three months of my 365 project from 2010. YAY! I almost can’t believe I completed a full year of photos!

I am so excited that I have this record of 2010 and I’m going to continue the project for 2011. At the start of the project, it seemed pretty easy. I mean it takes only a second to take a photo, but some days it can be a real challenge to remember to do this. There were definitely many days where I looked at the clock at 10pm, 11pm, even 11:45pm and grabbed my camera and took a quick shot of something. Some days there was only one picture to choose from, some days there were dozens and it was hard to choose just one. Some days you think you know what your photo will be of and then it doesn’t happen.

I felt like I really improved my photography this year and I definitely want to continue that. My main goals for the project this year are 1. to avoid last minute photos as much as possible by making an effort to shoot earlier in the day, 2. to take more people shots (I find this so hard!) 3. try new photo techniques on a regular basis, 4. post my photos once a week.

It’s fun to look at all the pictures from the year together. Take a peek here!

It feels pretty good to have a fresh new year up ahead. I just took a peek at my new year’s post from last year and I’d say all of those goals are continuing into this year.

I’m looking forward to spending another year with you!

p.s. I have some fun new projects up my sleeve that will be revealed very soon.

Here are a few of my favourites from the month of September… a self portrait in a reflection, my buzz saw quilt in action, glittery sidewalk and colourful natural dye pots.

I’m officially past the half way mark of this 365 project! I’ve been feeling like I needed to create a new challenge for myself with this project, so I’ve just ordered a new lens for my camera. It’s a Nikon 35mm f1.8. It’s my first prime lens and I can’t wait to get it this week! I’m always taking close up, detailed, macro-type shots. This should get me to step away from my subjects and get a new perspective. Also, maybe it will help me with taking more portraits!
