Personal Photo Project of the Week #114


Happy Easter - 2012
Happy Easter – 2012

I wanted my Easter picture to be a Peep burning in a microwave. Unfortunately, I waited so long to take this picture that the Peep I procured off of Teresa had melted in my car, so you probably can’t tell what it is. That is just one of the many failures in this picture, but when you are dealing with fire, you never quite know what to expect.

Here are a couple more examples:

Next year I will hopefully be more on schedule.

It is fairly well documented that I don’t enjoy this aspect of my church’s Good Friday service, but I do know a good photo opportunity when I see it!

A few more pictures from our Good Friday Service.

This is supposed to be the last year that Logan portrays Jesus on the cross. It may be the case because he could be in a far off land attending college next year.

Valentine’s Day 2012

If I were in the frame of mind to send out Valentines this year, it would have involved this picture. Of course, I wasn’t in such a state of mind, so you get to see it late, but as they say, that is life.

I also played with trying to set a heart shaped sucker on fire, but it turns out that it is really hard to set a sucker on fire AND the sucker didn’t really look like a heart.


This more abstract image of a heart is the other image I played with before I packed up all the conversation hearts and gave them to Jen. She actually enjoys these bits of nastiness.


On a sidenote, Jen says that if you put a piece of bread in the container with conversation hearts that have gotten too hard, they return to being “edible”. Derrick did not comment while she explained this to me.

Personal Photo Project #98

I did get a chance to send at a few Merry Christmas Picture Messages last year, even though they were a little less ambitious than years past. Here is the picture I sent out:



Merry Christmas 2011!

I’m sure I’ll have to make up for weak attempt last year with something more ambitious for a minor holiday this year. I wonder when Talk Like A Pirate Day is this year.
