365 Challenge // Day 7

Confession time... This photo was NOT taken on Day 7 :(

We were holding a rummage sale on both Friday (Day 7) and Saturday (Day 8) and I literally didn't even think of bringing out the camera on Friday. So Saturday I snapped a photo that applied to what I did Day 7.

This is a photo of one of the items a friend of ours was selling at their garage sale. Its an antique Candy Store Register. So little, HEAVY and cute!

365 Challenge // Day 6

So, I realize I'm not actually posting ON day 6... but I will say that I did photograph this on day 6! I haven't had time up until today to post my photos from the last few days!

I found a Bower Mirror Lens in a bin while I was prepping for a garage sale. I got this lens in a kit I bought years ago and I haven't used it because it didn't fit any of my cameras... UNTIL I decided to try it out on a film camera of mine! I found out that the mirror lens fits on my Canon AE-1 Program! Woohoo!

So I went out, tested the lens by driving around town and taking some shots. I got a little impatient and after 15 shots took the roll of film to the one-hour photo at a local drug store. Here is one of my favorites! A photo of a Weeping Willow.

Scanned in from print, so the quality isn't as great

365 Challenge // Day 5 (Part 2)

Tonight another precious and beautiful thing happened... so I just had to photograph it! Brindy carries her precious little baby bear with her and snuggles with it frequently. Here is a special little moment she was having with her baby this evening.

365 Challenge // Day 5

Yay! Another photo that just 'happened'. This little pup just LOVES to stare out the front window. She is so observant. Her favorite time to sit in the front window is when Daddy is about to be home... so precious.

365 Challenge // Day 4

Today was the first day I've had it happen: I was making coffee in an antique percolator I bought about 6 months ago. I left it on the stove to do its 'percolatin' and when I came back... there it was! The perfect photo opportunity :) HAPPY!

365 Challenge // Day 2

I'm only my second day in and I can already see why this is called a 'challenge'. I think I'm looking a little too hard and not just letting things happen... but at the same time it really is making me LOOK for things. So this is going to be VERY good for me!!!

365 Challenge

I'm starting a 365 Challenge...

What does this mean?

It means EVERYDAY I will be posting at least one photo, doesn't mean that I will necessarily say anything about each photo, I'm going to try to make this project work by requiring as little as possible

I am REALLY looking forward to learning more and more everyday. I realized that I'd begun to feel that there wasn't anything beautiful to photograph around me... I live in northern Minnesota... this is clearly NOT the case.

Anyways, Willy Wonka said "If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it". That is what I'm making a point to do. I'm looking forward to what I will being seeing through my lens!

Thank you for taking this journey with me!
