Day 19

Okay, we are posting from Globe, Arizona. We did get a few good pictures today, but not nearly as many as I had hoped for. Sevrine has been less than cooperative so far. One of the things I like about these mining towns is that if you can time things just right it almost looks as if the buildings have been suspended in time. So, here is one of the pictures I took that in the view finder didn't look like much, but turned out to be something much more (at least to me). lol

Day 18

Well, those of you who know me, know that I go a little bit nuts when I don't have my phone on me. I get a little bit jumpy and stressed out and will sometimes spend an entire lunch our just to drive home and get it. Well, now that I live in Peoria, this is not really an option. The drive is too far to do within an hour. I almost turned around to get it this morning but that would have made me far later than I would have been since I didn't realize I'd forgotten it until I was 10 minutes from home. Agghhhh! I kept forgetting what day it was and would go to look for my phone to check it not remembering that I didn't have it. Or, I wanted to map something and would go to turn on my navigation, and I would remember that my phone was sitting at home on my bed. Right where I left it in my mad rush to get us out of the house. Well, I am obviously much more content now that my phone is back in my hand. :)

Day 17

Okay, so in my room I have this cable thing that is supposedly required to make the wireless internet in our house work. There are also other such boxes in Sevrine's room. We all think it's kind of strange that the cable company put them in 2 different rooms, but this is what I see as I lay awake most nights as i don't sleep that well. lol

Day 16

I'm starting to realize and accept that this year's 365 project may just be a regular photo blog instead of the artistic masterpiece I was hoping for. :) I'm okay with that, but I guess I went into this a little bit too ambitious. It's hard enough for me to take pictures every day let alone really put the thought into them that I would like. It doesn't help that I've been a little bit off the last few days. So, I guess my aim now is not only to work on the quality of my pictures, but to take pictures that are applicable to what I'm doing and/or working on. So, in that spirit, my picture tonight is really a visual look into what Sevrine and I are doing this weekend. I've been wanted to go on a short trip with her for a while and wanted to go somewhere that we could take some cool pictures. So, we're heading to the Globe/Miami/Superior area of Arizona. All three are mining towns with lots of historic structures that I think will photograph really well. And, I want to see how some of them look in Black & White and maybe Sepia. :) So excited for this weekend. Hopefully we'll have some great pictures to share.

Day 15

Okay, so you may not know this, but I've spent the last few days with a sore tooth. A botched root canal got infected and I've been in a good deal of pain since Saturday. So I've spent a lot of time in a dark room sleeping. Since my camera has this cool night vision feature, I thought that I would put it to the test to see how good it did in pitch black conditions. So, here it is. :) Oh yeah, this is my cabbage patch kid "Nora" that I've had forever. Sevrine claims her now, but she gave her to me to sleep with last night because I wasn't feeling good. Gotta love my girl.

Day 14

Okay, another of the Sevrine pics. This one is of her feet because with all of the shots of the TV, you could actually tell she tried to put some thought into it.

Day 13

Well, I was pretty much out of commission for the past few days so didn't take a single picture until today. Lucky for me, Sevrine has been quite busy with my camera so my project could stay current. :) Gotta love that my 4 year old knows exactly how to turn on and operate my camera as well has use the viewing options. lol She took a lot of pictures of the TV a few of her feet and a few of her messy playroom. Today's will have to be one of the messy playroom.
