Here it goes. Trying to take a photo and post it every day for a year straight. I've heard a lot of people say it really changes how they look at things around them, so we'll give it a try.
This was my 8-year-old daughter's Christmas gift to my wife that she bought at one of those school Christmas Shop sales. As for me, I got a World's Best Dad baseball.
Still catching up, and this is from Sunday, when we opened Christmas gifts a day early at my parents' house. Kenzie is a huge Simpsons fan, and she got a complete figure set.
I'm way behind on my blogging, with the holidays and all. I have photos from every day over the past week to post, and I'll work on getting caught up. To start, here's last Saturday's photo.
I actually snapped a single quick sunset photo as I was leaving work Wednesday, but I learned a lesson. My camera was set to RAW, and I flipped the power off as soon as I snapped the photo, and all that was recorded was a black square. I didn't even double-check it because I was in such a hurry.
We were in Maysville Saturday morning for another swim meet. The top photo is my daughter on the starting block showing off her skull tattoo the coach draws on them every meet.
I called Monday's post Christmas Play No. 1 because it was the first of two I had this week. This one from Thursday was for my daughter (center with glasses) that played a 1950s elf in her school play.
I was looking for something out of the ordinary for Day No. 300, and it happen to be the day I attempted (and I stress the word attempted) to get Christmas photos of my kids. My son is 3 and very active, so he's not the easiest guy to get a decent photo of.
This was Reece's Christmas play by his daycare class (he's the one in the foreground who looks like he's throwing something off the stage). He wasn't as much of a performer as the other kids because he was more interested in the laptop that was running the screen behind them. Don't know where he gets that from.
I have a couple of photos from Saturday in Louisville that I took with a friend's camera, but I'm waiting to get them sent to me before I can post them, so this is a placeholder for now.
So we get to the hotel in Louisville for our daughter's swim meet Friday evening. I pull out my camera to grab a shot from our hotel window when my little Fuji informs me that there's no memory card plugged in. My mind then goes right to my desk at work back in Ashland, where there sits the reader, card still inserted. So, I tried to make due with a cell phone photo, and wow are they bad.
A nice surprise this morning. Especially for our daughter who got the day off school. She tried to tell me when I made her go to bed last night that it was going to snow, and this morning she said she knew it would because she prayed for it to snow last night.
I had one brief chance Sunday to get a decent shot of Reece wearing a Santa hat before he refused to wear it again, and I blew it by not having the right settings on my flash (I didn't realize I had it on 1/16th power). I tried to salvage the photo best I could, but it's really full of noise. It's still kinda cute, though.
