Day 60: Friday, June 26, 2009

This photo is from when Ari was getting ready to go to the "Fancy Nancy" party at the library.  Here she is getting some make-up out of her make-up bag.  For the record, the only make-up I OWN is 2 mascaras (1 waterproof, 1 non), 1 container of blush, 1 blush brush, 2 or 3 eyeliners (had trouble finding one that would work) and....that's it.  The entire bag, below, is Ari's and then some.  To clarify, though, I'm not bitter, I just think it's funny.  I choose to have little makeup. 

Moving on, the photos didn't turn out that great and I forgot to bring the camera to the party (so sad!), but I at least liked something about this one, so there ya go.

Day 59: Thursday, June 25, 2009

These were taken last Thursday (so behind, I know).  The YSAs (Young Single Adults) of the area went to Holiday World (amusement/water park in Santa Claus, IN) and on the way home I stopped and took these.  Editing did WONDERS on the last two which were both nearly silhouetted to begin with.

Day 58: Monday, June 22, 2009

We had a bit of a storm last Monday, while I was out shopping.  Directly afterward the sky looked GORGEOUS and there was even a rainbow.  Here are some photos I got of the sky (taken from the Walmart parking lot...).

Man, keeping up a daily blog is tough.  I'm not doing so well lately.  I will be taking a lot of pictures this weekend though (road trip), so that'll be good.  I have some new ideas for what I want to do with this blog, but I'll bring them up after that.  Thanks to everyone who looks at the blog!  I really appreciate it!

Day 56: Saturday, June 20, 2009

On Saturday I went to New Harmony, IN with a friend.  It's this small town with a pretty interesting history.  Look it up.  The ensuing photographs are what follows.

2:  Bridge over the Wabash River.

3: View from the visitor's center.

4: Another view from the visitor's center.

5: Main Street

6: You may think it odd that I included a pictures of some daisies and a fire hydrant, but I just liked the look of it.

7:  I've been trying to get a good picture of the "movement" look, where the object is pretty much in focus, but the surroundings are blurred, making it look like the object is in motion.  Still haven't mastered it...

8: Somehow I always manage to take pictures of flowers.

10: There's something about this picture that I like.  Maybe that it's a tad creepy.

11:  In an effort to overcome my aversion to spiders I've been taking pictures of every one I see.  The idea is that maybe then I'll start to see them as being more beautiful and also that forcing myself to work with them will just get me used to them.

Day 55: Friday, June 19, 2009

So, I wasn't too impressed with any of my photos today, but I DID take some, so here you go.  Audubon State Park (Kentucky being the state).  I'm going out to New Harmony, IN tomorrow though and will hopefully get some good shots there.

Also, one thing I don't like about this photo is that the sky is quite washed out.  If any photographers are reading, do you have any idea how to remedy this, other than a polarizer filter (which I was already using)?

Flickr!

I am now on flickr by the way.  My username is "hailamine" which is Romanian for "come here" or "come to me" or "come with me."  Actually, "hai la mine" is Romanian for those commands.  Just thought I'd let you all know.
