Personal Photo Project of the Week #83 Alpha

My time has really been occupied lately with my vacation and Naima duties. Combine that with the fact that my favorite lens broke a couple weeks back and I have descended into a creative malaise. I haven’t been able to find my mode, therefore I have actually fell behind in my picture posting duties.

I’m trying to get caught back up with a very large collection of lily pictures. Here is the beginning of pictures from this year’s The Girl in the Blue Skirt Series:

Just pretend like these were posted last Friday. And pretend like the next set of pictures was posted… well… you get the idea!

You may notice that many of the pictures in the future will be watermarked with the logo designed for me by Shawn. Just another feature of the new Store/Gallery.

One more reminder about the new Store/Gallery. Since I’m storing the pictures for “An Artist’s Notebook” there now, you can click on any of these images and see a larger image if you would like.

Also, once you are there you can Tweet the photo. You can Facebook Share the photo. You can even Facebook Like the photo with the handy dandy links provided at the top of the picture. You don’t have to, but you could if you wanted to.

State Fair Results

Now that the State Fair has ran its inevitable course, I can reveal what pictures I entered in the State Fair Photography Salon.

I guess this means I need to start focusing some effort on the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest.

Saving my hollyhocks was quite the ordeal for my fence building team, but I’m proud to report that my fence was built with minimal damage to my hollyhocks and they should do just as nicely again next year.

My image organization is a mess right now, as I am bouncing around amongst 3 computers, so I’m not sure what I will publish next week. It will either be lilies or coneflowers.
