I figure that there is no better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than with another photo from the Women’s March in Des Moines back in January.

The 9 Emotions Project Wall is no more. The 9 16×20 photos are gone. Technically they are stacked in the guest bedroom until I figure out what I’m going to do them. I’ve replaced them with 9 16×20 canvases to diversify the pictures on my wall and I have this… Read More »The Canvas Wall

Most of these pictures were taken at The Sharps house during a pool party. The last picture is obviously at my house. When Naima said goodbye to Shawn. I’m sure their paths will cross again.
More daisy photos I took at the end of May, plus a few other flowers: I think that might be the end of the daisy backlog, but there are lots of folders to go through still.

So I tried and failed at a Selfie Project in 2016. I’m trying again in 2017. Last year I took the pictures with Blue Boy. Who you may remember is my Canon point & shoot. This year I’m going to take the pictures with the front facing camera on my… Read More »Selfie Project of 2017
