Well here is the sixth week come and gone, crazy!!

I went on a hike last Friday and loved every minute of it!!

Here we are standing at the top of our boulder that we climbed. It was awesome as long as we didn't think about how we were going to get down haha =>

I'll have a blog post about it later in the day!! (also more photos!!)

There's always a time

2012-02-12T00:18:00.001-07:00

...when I fall behind on posting photos.

SO I bring you Feb photo a day's number 7-10

"Button" for day 7 was going to be buttons arranged in a heart, but I dug through my stuff and didn't find my buttons...at a friend's house their little girl was wearing a shirt with buttons on it and I figured that would be a good substitute....well I ended up with neither and had to dig through my closet for this button off an Ann Taylor jacket.

#8 was "Sun" and with just my luck the day turned mostly overcast. Adding how busy I was to it all you end up with this shot through my car window while headed to school.

Day nine was "front door" and while I had something else planned (like always) I ended up with a last minute shot of these doors to the building I spent my whole day in. Yay for college.

This day has it's own blog post about it! It was the day I got my hair cut, which turns out nicely for "self portrait"

WOW I have been so caught up with Photo a day in February that I completely forgot to post my weekly photo for project 52!! Sorry!! Well better late than never!

dinner

2012-02-06T20:26:00.001-07:00

#6 photo in February is "dinner"

For us, "dinner" is not typical, we eat it in the day time, probably before noon or just around it. You see, Daniel works graves so our typical times of things are off. Anyway we went out to Benja's because Daniel has been craving it. To read more about this day, check this post. Here is #6:

10am

2012-02-05T12:00:00.001-07:00

For February 5th the photo is "10am" So here is a shot of something at 10am where I live. Don't mind the "4" date on my watch there, it doesn't switch over until noon and I'm too lazy to reset it, ehh it's right half of the day.

a stranger

2012-02-05T07:42:00.000-07:00

The 4th photo of February is a stranger. A friend and I were at Lin's (a grocery store) and I decided what a perfect place for a stranger photo! So on our way out of the store I looked around and saw this kid working there, I assumed he was about to go gather the carts. I thought he was perfect! So I ran up to him and told him I needed to take his photo, he was happy to let me and as I was about to snap it my friend thought to have me in the photo as well. HAHA so here we are, sadly I forgot this kid's name (I'm horrible at names!).

hands

2012-02-04T11:47:00.000-07:00

The third photo in the February photo a day challenge is hands:

I had a completely different original idea planned, but the day got busy and took this last minute. This little girl was just diggin' this chapstick most of the day.

words

2012-02-02T18:35:00.000-07:00

#2 in photo a day in February is "words"

I had a completely different photo in mind when I was getting ready to post this week(which I was actually late on doing by a few hours). I had a very vibrant photo of the sunset that was taken last minute while visiting some family-friends. Then while looking for that photo on the computer, I remembered I took some photos of these beautiful girls. The tiny baby is part of this beautiful family and the adoring little girl is my niece. The Mom being featured is that of my niece. I just couldn't resist posting this adorable photo because there's so much love in it. Enjoy.

It's Saturday!! Well it is in my mind (though it's after midnight). So here is your photo of the week!!

For a reminder of this project here's my post on it!

1 of 52

2012-01-07T23:55:00.001-07:00

Project 52 has officially begun!!
I will aim to post every Saturday of the weeks in 2012.
Here is the first photo:

For a reminder on details regarding this project, check this post!
If you're joining in on this, link up! I'd love to see your project 52!

Project 52

2011-12-27T08:18:00.000-07:00

This is what Daniel came up with when I told him I wanted to do Project 365 again, but that I know I'll have a hard time like in 2010 with the frequency of my posting. Basically you take photos throughout the week and then you pick one to be your photo of the week. At the end of the year you should have about 52. I'm still trying to figure what day of the week to designate as my posting day, we'll both find out during the first week of 2012! haha =>
As with 365 there are several flickr groups out there that support project 52:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/52weeksproject/
http://www.flickr.com/groups/project52photos/
http://www.flickr.com/groups/project52-2012/

The top two don't care when in the year that you join, as long as you do 52 weeks. The bottom one is obviously for the year of 2012.
This should be a fun project, please join up! =>
For those who want to look at my project 365 in 2010, HERE it is.

I have other projects to mention and I'll do so in another post, stay tuned =>

I Am Me. Who Are You?

2011-12-23T13:48:00.000-07:00

This normally would go on my personal blog, but I think it's relevant to my photo blog because there is some stop-motion involved and photography is a part of that! haha This is my first try at stop-motion, but I had a LOT of fun with it!! Try out your own version of this "tag" I would love to see them!

Aviation Nation is Coming!!

2011-11-10T01:13:00.001-07:00

Here are a few more from Helena, Montana.

A Promise

2011-11-03T01:47:00.000-06:00

I am waaaay backed up in editing photos, which is why I kind of stopped taking photos for a long time. If I don't take any then I can't make the list longer, right?? haha well, to attempt to attack this gigantic to-do list of photos, I'll promise to edit at least a few photos a week haha....sad that I have to span it through a week, but that is already asking a lot. SO, go here for a couple photos from Helena, MT when I was there in July (I think).

Jewelry!

2011-09-07T22:18:00.002-06:00

Anybody out there enjoy jewelry?? I sure do!! I had a Lia Sophia party today and it stays open until Friday the 9th if anyone wants to check it out:

I put this on my photography blog because I enjoy taking photos of this jewelry as well....it's SO COLORFUL!! haha I actually feel like photographing some more....just might do that this week.
Here are a couple I've shot of their jewelry:

A-Z project

2011-08-10T00:43:00.000-06:00

While on facebook, I saw this link. The article goes over a couple photography projects. I have participated in a couple already and loved them so much I know that I will do them again someday. BUT aside from those I've tried I found the A-Z project and thought I'd give it a try. I just need to make a decision on which way I'm going to do it..either find things that start with the letters OR find things that look like the letters. Sounds fun either way.

decisions, decisions

2011-07-05T19:39:00.001-06:00

I'll just get right to it: Here's the set on flickr for my Fun Fourth Adventures

San Francisco

2011-06-04T20:29:00.000-06:00

I went on a trip to San Francisco, wish I could say just for vacation reasons, but it was for a foot race. My mom and I finished the Bay-to-Breakers 2011 100th anniversary footrace. It was quite amazing, but I'll keep to the photography subject on this blog. =>
The shots were quick and mostly through a car window, so not a whole lot of awesome, just fun.
Here's the set on Flickr, but I'll post a few favorites here:

Of Course, collages!!

ENJOY =>

Lydi-Lou-who

2011-04-11T21:15:00.003-06:00

I took some quick photos of my niece, Lydia when we went to the park. Click here for the set on Flickr!
BUT here are some of my favs:

ALSO, because I'm in love with collages ....

here is a quick collage I put together of the random dandelion photos I took with my point&shoot at Dixie..

Big Moon?

2011-03-21T06:54:00.000-06:00

We apparently had this moon that was the biggest..or closest it's been in 20yrs. About 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter..... I guess. Unfortunately, we had cloud coverage when I would actually be able to see this "big" moon with good comparison....so the photos I have of the moon are from it almost straight up in the sky..just like any other moon at this angle:

Haze

2011-03-21T06:50:00.001-06:00

A few days ago we had this haze that just stuck around for two days straight. It was like we had a big fire the day before. It was strange.

SPRING!!

2011-03-21T06:46:00.001-06:00

Spring is here....officially on a thunderstorm day, but around these parts it shows up a lot sooner:

This is my favorite tree around here. It is in this GORGEOUS blossom state for not a long time. After this it turns into a plum tree with the dark purple-red leaves, not quite as pretty as these blossoms are.

Auf Wiedersehen 2010!!

2011-01-29T13:34:00.000-07:00

It is the 29th of January in the year 2011, yes...but I was being held back and continued to live in 2010 because of these photos. I still have editing to do for Christmas, but these photos for project 365:2010 is what kept me tied to the last year. Finally, I got all my hard drives in order and photos organized so that I was able to finish those last few days of this project. I am done with it and it was amazing, it definitely changed my photography in a few ways. Little ways, but change nonetheless. Enjoy Project 365:2010 by Glady Anne
I have been asked if I am going to do this in 2011 and the answer is sadly, no. I might and most probably will do it again in 2012, but I need to take as much off my plate as I can get away with. This is a crazy year. I will however be doing a collage project. That is, I will put together some highlight photos of the month and collage them together at the end of each month. Then by the end of the year I will have 12 awesome collages representing the events of the months the best they can.
Until next time....
~Glady Anne

ALMOST!!

2011-01-20T23:53:00.000-07:00

I know many people waiting for photos and I'm sorry for the wait.
A lot has happened so fast and when I finally had time to work on photos, well I ran into a little problem....storage, hard disk space, ROOM....whatever you want to call it, I didn't have but 500MB and that was not enough to work with. I decided I need to order a "new house" for my photo friends and well now I have 1.5T of space welcoming my photos with open arms. I will finally have the room to get all the photos off of the SD cards and then edit them so those waiting for me to finish project 365, Christmas events and other personal events I happened to have my camera at....will get them soon =>

FINALLY

2010-12-26T02:13:00.003-07:00

I have finally caught up with my project 365....It has been a crazy couple of months. Go ahead and check out the set on flickr.
Here are my personal favs:

PS

07/31/2010 This was a day of "let's just go do something" Dave-O, Jayk and I did a lot of random stuff, one of which was go to Pioneer park and mess around. Pioneer park is basically 52 acres of red rock to climb and enjoy with your family and friends. They ran all over the place as I took photos. Here is the shot I took near the end of our little adventure there. I just LOVE how you can see kind of the perspective of how little we are in such a big world.

My cousin, brother and I were running around and taking photos at Pioneer park which is 52 acres of rustic, red rock. You will always find people climbing and having a good family time in this area. I bumped into these two and was pretty impressed that they had their little Chihuahua running along with them. So impressed that I decided they would be my first Strangers shot.
