week 11 - playing in the rain

who dat?
me dat!


when do i ever pass up a perfect opportunity to play in the rain?
neverrrrr.

thanks robyn for snapping these :)

week 6: an open window

i started taking random photos early in the week and when i looked through them, these first two stood out to me. one of a window, one shot though a window. so i decided my theme this week was going to be anything shot through, of, or had a window. fun fun.




i'm not one for pet photography... but i sure loved this.






a little valentines love.

my editing goal this week was to give these photos a film look. so i made these pictures super grainy, didn't sharpen them, didn't add contrast, and dulled the colors down. love the turn out!

week 5: musicians by the bay

sometimes you have to let the project come to you.

i was walking around the boardwalk in laguna with a friend snapping random photos.

i took a few of a kid singing and playing the guitar, and his friend came running after me and asked if i could email some of the photos i took.

i went back and took more...

i also met this sweet girl who was rockin it on the piano.

i wasn't planning on this being my shoot of the week, but it happened.

and so happy it did.

week 3: a bike adventure

so this week i decided to document a fun bike ride with some friends.

we started on balboa island,
rode the ferry across to the peninsula
(first time on the ferry for me, loved it!),
and biked along the boardwalk in newport.

i hope this is only the first of many bike adventures!

so as part of this project i am trying to find new ways to edit
and process the images i take.
so this week i was going for a holga camera look, and loving the results!
i do own a holga camera, so maybe one of these weeks i'll dedicate a project to using it!

week 2: strangers on the pier

week two on project 52.

still going strong.

i decided this week to get out of my comfort zone.

taking pictures of strangers seemed like just the way to conquer that.

although i only had enough quarters for 40 minutes, i feel like i got some good pics.

it would have been fun to stick around for a few good hours, talk to some of these fishermen and get their stories. but we'll just save that for another week.

the 52 week challenge

jan 1st, decide to do the 365 project.
day one, successful.
day two, didn't touch the camera.
i decided that just might be too big of a challenge for me so i created my own!

the 52 week challenge!
so instead of taking a picture a day, i am going to do a fun project each week.
whether it's a photo shoot, make a video, capture a story, anything photography related.
so here is my project i did last week.
a stop motion video of an afternoon at the beach.



i had so much fun making this, and can't wait to get more and more creative each week. stay tuned for this week's project!
