A new blog

Yes I've moved again! I decided to try blogging one more time - maybe it will help me with my writing since I'm terrible at it! I moved here if you're interested in checking it out :) http://paperwrenphotography.blogspot.ca/

Flickr

Hello :) Not sure I'll be blogging again, especially since I now have a flickr account - I find it much more user friendly.  So I thought I would pop in and post my flickr account link here in case you have an account as well.  Hoping to see you there! :):):)

If you also have an account, please post the link in the comment section so I can follow you! Thank you!

A Year in Black and White - 6/52 and 7/52

Well it had been a long time since I had taken shots of the moon, and I figured this would be a good time to do so :)


6/52


And the next photo, well, kinda breaks my heart.  I was going through some stuff the other day and found one of Echo's belly feathers.  I miss him so much, I don't think I'll ever get over it.

A Year in Black and White - 4/52

Hello, I hope you're having a good weekend :)

My project is going well - going into week 7 on Wednesday!  I think I may do this again next year but with a different theme.  It keeps me motivated.

This is me peeking around the camera, looking in the mirror.  I purposely put it out of focus for a gloomy effect.  I was not having a good day.

A Year in Black and White - 2/52 and 3/52

I'm very surprised with myself - I'm actually continuing with my project!  Although I stalled the second week, big time.  It was the last day before the end of the week (new week begins on Wednesdays)  and it was one of those days where no effort was going to be made.  So I looked around the house and spotted something pretty.

This mask comes from Venice.  I thought it would look nice in black and white.  In reality it is black and purple.

Now my photo for this week is very different from the last one.  It's nothing spectacular by any means, but I am VERY proud of it.  It wasn't difficult to achieve, however this photo looks EXACTLY like how I pictured it in my head.  I think this is the first time this has happened.  And when I say exactly, I mean EXACTLY.

I think this project may end up being a lot of fun after all!

A Year in Black and White : 1/52

Last year I debated starting a picture of the week project, which I ended up turning down.  I was too preoccupied to even think about photography.  So I decided that this year I will do this project, but with a very simple theme: all pictures are to be in black and white.  

It's not complicated (at all, in fact, it's extremely easy), however it will keep me taking photos with my very limited gear instead of... not taking photos at all.  I'm actually a little excited about it :)  I have a few ideas written down and hopefully more will come to me.  And now I will be taking my camera every where I go again, like I used to in 2010 when I did my Project 365.  I think one of my New Year's resolution should be that... when I see something that would make a pretty picture, to actually STOP and TAKE the picture.  Instead of brushing it off like I've gotten in the habit of doing.

So last week I stopped and took the picture :)
