Personal Photo Project of the Week #151

In addition to the flower calendar that was for sale last year, I made a small run of the traditional Merry Christmas calendars. The remainder of the Merry Christmas Calendars will be distributed on the morrow, so I don’t think their is any harm in sharing those images at this time.

I went down a completely different road with the production of this calendar. It was freeing and difficult at the same time, but I am very pleased with the results.

Fiery Goat

A few weeks back I woke up and saw on Twitter that the Gigglin’ Goat was on fire.

So I threw on some clothes and went down and took a few photos.


Unfortunately I got there after the most interesting photo opportunities had passed.

Next week’s Random Wednesday will be a few portraits I took for Jamie before she left Boone for rodeoville.

Personal Photo Project of the Week #124


The New Old (Redux)
The New Old (Redux)

A few months ago I took some pictures of abandoned signs with the retro setting on my camera. I decided then to revisit this idea with the High Contrast Monochrome setting on my camera.

As it turns out, I’m still not totally in love with the results. Therefore, there may be yet another visiting of this idea. A first ever double redux.

I know, I’m pretty excited about it too!

This time I will just take and edit the pictures the old fashioned way.

It is hard to believe that I am officially caught back up with Fridays on the blog! Now I just have to get Mondays and Thursday caught back up and everything will be right with my blog again!

Next week’s Personal Photo Project will involved daisies.
