Day Six: Color Contrast

I think, maybe, I am a color junkie!

I probably love color becase no matter what the winter weather, I always feel warm, toasty and safe inside. In the photo, the inside color didn't show up as clear and bright as I wanted, but the contrast is definitely there. Life inside....life outside.
Even in our hot, humid summers, though, I still love all my inside color!

Day Five: Ribbons of Color

Continuing my theme of color, I love colorful ribbon.......obviously! These are some of my ribbons in my craft room. They make me very happy.....just looking at them.

Looking at this picture, I can tell I had to take this picture with my Canon Rebel XT, as my 40D went back. It is being exchanged, but I can sure tell the difference in sharpness and brightness of color. At least this validates my excuses of why I needed a new camera! So, for another week or so, I will be using my old camera....oh well!

I Found It!

I know this is going to be cofusing, since this corrects what I just wrote.....but you will probably read this post first!

This is what I saw yesterday: "One of the sites I visit for Project 365 inspiration issued a challenge for us to take a picture of what we saw from where we were sitting right that moment. The catch to the challenge, we could NOT photograph our computer screens! From where I sat, I saw my family picture wall. "

Day Four: Color from Where I Sit

I love going to everyone' s blog and seeing the interesting concepts we all come up with. Yesterday I visited someone's blog that spoke of being in a challenge of shooting a picture exactly where you were sitting. At the time, I thought it was clever, but did not realize the idea with stick with me.

So today, sitting as I always do, in my red leather chair in our living room, the tv in front of me, my laptop on my lap and my camera next to me, I remembered this challenge.

In keeping with my color theme for the week, what I look at everyday as I work on my computer, talk on the phone, etc. is exactly what I decided to try photographing. The blogger said you couldn't move from where you were and you couldn't photograph your computer! I followed the rules as I remembered them.

This picture is the result.....my view everyday when I am home. It is my comfort, my inspiration.

*****If anyone knows whose blog this was that I read, and what challenge she was talking about it, please post it here. She should get credit for this great idea. I tried going back over what I looked at yesterday, but I didn't find it.

Day Three: More Color

I'm calling these first pictures "my inner color period". This is a photo of some of my fabrics in my sewing room. I love to buy the brightest colors I can find....I like to combine bright colors with black and white. When the urge to quilt hits me, I always say I need that big box of crayons to pick from!

I may try to finish this first week with photos of colors that surround me in my home. That will make a nice Weekly layout, I think.

I really want to go outside and take pictures of the beautiful snow, and icicles hanging from the trees. Unfortunately, I live in Minnesota.....although everyone thinks we are always covered in snow, we have had snow, but right now there is not much left.

We are supposed to have a snow storm later today or tomorrow, and then I'll be outside with my camera.

For now I'll do the inner me with all the color I love surrounding me!

Day Two: Color

I love color.....the brighter the better. When I saw this basket of yarn, I knew this was perfect for today. These are my colors!

This basket has been sitting in my house forever.....yet I never would have just taken a picture of it. I love this challenge, I am learning to see my world and use my camera to document it.

Day One: Happy New Year!

This is a new year, new hopes, new dreams, but same old morning.....my addiction is hazelnut coffee with french vanilla cream.

And, I put the clock in the photo to show I was up at my normal time of 7:30 or so on this new year morning.

Happy new Year everyone.
