Down by the bay.....

We live on a little peninsula by Pearl Harbor so right down the road there are some old battleships. We happened by there on our walk today and I took a few shots.

So here is Sunday, 12 July 09's unofficial day 4 shot.

As always, click pic to view larger.


And a few bonus pics!

Jelly fish are gross

Yesterday I had my first Photo session with a client. They really wanted some beach pictures together so we headed up to North Shore.

At I believe the third location we were heading down to the water when I saw a big bubble mass of dead sea creature. I looked at it closer and realized it was a washed up jelly fish! I am so glad I didn't step on it. I think those things still have some juice even dead....but don't quote me on that.

So I was trying to focus on it when the guy of the party I was photographing flipped it over in the sand, so...as I was taking the pic...it snapped the sand covered one.

So instead of my 3rd unofficial pic being of a cool dead jellyfish, it is of a cool dead jellyfish covered in sand....shucks.

M is for.......ME!

This blog has been brought to you by the letter M and by the number 2. ha ha ha...

Ok....I suppose its obvious I hang out with a toddler all day, she seriously is my best friend!

No real reason my unofficial day 2 pic is of a letter M I decorated with stickers before Sass was born, I was just sitting in her rocker chair watching Daddy get her ready for bed. Just struck me as pic worthy I suppose. :)

Fri Jul 10th pic, unofficial day 2

Did I really need that??

I have been going back and forth on when I should start my 365 thing back up...but I am sticking to my 1 Aug date with the other ladies. BUT, I will post pics for "practice" until then. :)

I hate the days I dont know what to fix for lunch. Today was one of those days. I resorted to making mac n cheese and hot dogs, Sass sure loves that meal on the occasion she gets it. Well...I had already eaten earlier and I wasnt hungry when I made the food...but of course, true no will me had to eat the mac n cheese.

Luckily I only took a few bites and forced myself to put it away in the refrigerator. Hubby finished it off when he got home from work...:) He saved me from heating it up and eating it later.

I keep telling myself....*I will eat well today* and as it turns out...I just like to talk.

A new challenge

I am still going strong on the Sass 365. I am just behind on the templates is all....I really need to take the time and finish them up, I am like a month behind.

So a couple of the girls on a Photography Thread set a date of Aug 1st this yr to start a 365 project. I am thinking of taking the challenge again. I am going to continue the one of Sass, but start a subject one again. I just think if I stick with it this time, it will be wonderful to look back on. I feel bad the other one fell through.

I really want to capture things in this yr and I think a lot will change from Aug 09 to Aug '10. That yr is hard to write....man time flies.

I think it will be good to help me grow in photography, it will be interesting to see how much it changes in a yr as well. So I jumped on board and 1 Aug I will start again.......so now I am wondering...do I start a different blog??? Would it be too confusing to do 2 365 projects on one blog? I already have more than one blog to maintain....I think I am getting carried away. I will figure something out though!

So I am off to work on my layouts for my current challenge. I will have them up when finished!

Week 2 layout

I really like how this one turned out. I try to pick the most random pictures of the day to show her personality to get a glimpse into the Sass that I know. She is so funny and has the best facial expressions, she is just a joy to be around! I especially like the picture where she has her feet in Daddy's big sandals, such a special moment.

Since I made week 1 pink, I thought I would do a blue so that these arent all "girl" colors but a nice mix to have. I tend to go pink too much so I would like to do some greens and purples as well. I have been finding some really nice kits lately. I need to put on here which kits I used.

*Mental note to update my blogs with their info and links*

I also have been working on my own graphics, I am very excited and cant wait to use them. I am still trying to put together kits that I like. Its very time consuming when you have no idea what you are doing!! Anyway, I hope you enjoy week 2!

Week 1 Layout

Ok Ok...I know I have said I would do this for a while now, but I took a break from Photoshop. Ever since my computer crashed, it was hard to get back in to. Mainly because I lost a lot of my hundreds of kits that I can never get back. :( We are going to scan the drive again to hopefully recover some more.

But I didnt want to get too far behind, I have been taking my daily Sass pics, but I finally started organizing them and putting them on a layout.

I decided to make a 365 Sass project, 1 yr in the life of her. It may be pics of her, or about her, but it will involve her in some way shape or form. I wanted to start this the day she turned 16 months, but as some of you may know, thats the day my hard drive crashed and of course I lost the pics I took of her that day (the 18th), SO, I had to start it on the 19th. No biggie I suppose, but it throws me off and my week now starts on a Tue instead of a Monday. I had it all planned out...stupid HD crashing! GRRR.

So I decided to make my first layout watermelon themed. Thought it would go well with spring. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! As always, right click then view image to see it bigger!
