(24/365)

I decided to play with my macro lens in the mirror today. Sometimes mirror shots take less time - sometimes they take more than setting the camera on the broken tripod and waiting for the shutter to go, again and again and again...

I'm hoping to get a new one for my birthday this week. And a remote for my camera. I think both will come in incredibly handy for this self-portrait project.

But didn't the macro bring this off beautifully? It's such a dreamy shot, soft in all the right places...

...

I've also decided that my self-portrait project will be my official 365 project this year, so I'm not counting 365 separately anymore.

Extra photos just get to be extra photos, no counting necessary. It's too much to track with two kids and a new house and other photography ideas I'm working on right now.

I am thinking that from here out, I will probably post my 365 photos in one or two posts per week, so I can use my photography blog for other things I'm shooting and processing too.

Or just leave it to sit for a day or two. You know. Because I have two kids and a new house and other photography ideas I'm working on right now.



This is me, checking out. Time to pick the house up so we get up clean on Monday...

I ♥ Faces Contest - Kids

Here is my kids' entry for this week's I ♥ Faces The Eyes Have It category. I was spying on my daughter with the camera last week through the slats of my desk chair and caught her little serious eyes figuring something out, framed beautifully in the slats.

I have no illusions of winning in this category - what with all the awesome shots that always get entered here but I thought I'd share it around anyway!

I ♥ Faces Contest - Pets

I ♥ Faces is introducing a new category this week for pets. I wasn't planning to enter anything in this category, since I didn't have any "the eyes have it" shots of our cat, but as I was working at my computer this morning, I turned and found Miss Mia sitting on the shelf near me, staring me down. The camera was available, complete with the macro lens I had used earlier, so I grabbed this shot to enter in the contest!

Be sure to stop on by and see the other pets entries here!
