This week’s project was to photograph coneflowers. Coneflowers are probably a top 5 flower for me. Admittedly, they aren’t much to look at, but I find the transformation the flower makes over its total lifespan to be fascinating.

Next week’s Personal Photo Project of the Week will involve either hollyhocks or sunflowers.

Slice of Life Vol. 112

Hard to believe, but with this entry in An Artist’s Notebook, I am officially caught up. Didn’t think I’d ever get here.

Pictures from Herman Park, including the pavilion before a stage was constructed for the City Band highlight this collection.


















Now I just need to stay on schedule!

I’m sure that it is well documented that I love alliums. They are definitely in my top 5 favorite flowers. Probably top 3. This week’s project was simply to photograph alliums.

I was fortunate to grow some alliums this year. I hope next year to be able to grow even more. As I have some decent plans for my flower beds next year!

Slice of Life Vol. 111

Something that happened in a couple of these photos is that the film didn’t wind forward all the way. It is something I love and a reminder of the good old film days!


















It is hard for me to imagine Fraser having as many people as are in that picture, let alone a school with that many school children!

Self-Portrait Project Week 18

Sometimes in this project I think I got the shot that I wanted, only to find out later that I didn’t. Monday’s picture would be an excellent example. I did get a picture of Naima looking at the camera, only to discover that it was out of focus when I uploaded it much later.
