phew!




practicing being domesticated is hard work!

so far I've gone grocery shopping for 5 people, cleaned out the fridge and organized the pantry, done the dishes, and still on the horizon for tonight is laundry and cooking dinner.


How did I get myself into this you ask?
I have no idea.

at least I aint got no kid on my hip.

June 12, 2009

I have some horrible news!
my pro account expires tomorrow on flickr!
):
..okay so it's not horrible news or anything. just an inconvenience.
I managed to squeeze in a large upload today though, just in time:













happy birthday dad!

p.s.
I can't seem to figure out why blogger likes to cut off my pictures.
sorry! :/

inspired.

So, I just left my dad's birthday party to type this down-
I have come up with a new photo project I want to undertake this summer.. and I am pumped! yes, I just said pumped.

The Plan:
to photo-document my family, including all my extended family members.
I want to make a photo book with portraits of each person: I'll dedicate a page or two to each family, with a unique individual portrait that fits their personality, and then a group portrait with each person from that family.

I'm hoping this will push me back into photo-love. My camera has been neglected since shawn and aubree's wedding, and I need to start taking photos again! I pour through hundreds each day, and I can't seem to figure out why I haven't been capturing images of my own.

For a shorter, easier to complete project, I want to make another photo book documenting this summer. How cool would that be?
Kind of like a year book of my life.. but in a summer.




anywho, I'm really excited!
I'll edit this post later and add a photo or two.. but I had to get this down now!

p.s.
super long photo-post coming up next from my dad's birthday :)
