This is my last full week of work, so I’ve been busy making sure that all the little things are done, so I haven’t really had time to get out with my camera and take new pictures. That means I had to dig through my archives to see what I could find to convert to…
52 Week Project: Flickr Edition
Did I tell you guys that I’m also participating in a 52 Week Project with some of my flickr friends? Oh, how could I leave that out? I thought I told y’all everything! Every year since about 2012, I’ve been invited to join in either a 52 week or 365 project, and every year I…
Week 17: Out of Focus {#OurProject52}
I absolutely love playing with the focus on my camera, whether it’s to create the beautiful bokeh {that creamy out of focus background} that you see in the top two photos or for the selective focus that you see in the bottom two photos. I like the artistic play of both focal points. Do you have…
Week 15: Macro {#OurProject52}
I rarely do any heavy editing of my photos anymore. Most of the time I just crop and add my watermark, but something about these photos just begged to be black and white. I’m totally digging them. Do you edit your pictures? What’s your preference, color or black and white? Happy Clicking, Follow…
Week 14: Easter {#OurProject52}
All winter long I’ve looked at this tree standing in our front yard, all brown and gnarly. Sometimes I wonder if it’s dead and we should just cut it down. This year it took so long to bloom that I thought surely it’s time to let it go. But Easter morning, there they were, these…
Week 13: Spring {#OurProject52}
I live in the Midwest, so Spring means heavy winds, tornado sirens, lots of rain, and pretty dead things, with the occasional pretty living thing. What’s Spring like in your neighborhood? Happy Clicking, Follow Living Outside the Stacks on Bloglovin’! I’m linking up this post with Lipgloss and Binky and Everyday Eyecandy for the…
Week 12: Photographer’s Choice {#OurProject52}
This week’s theme is “Photographer’s Choice”, so I’m sharing a few of my favorite pictures and the stories behind them. The photo above is of my youngest daughter; she taught herself to play the ukelele. I’m so impressed and proud of her – she’s so incredibly talented. I love listening to her play. And from…
Week 11: Rule of Thirds {#OurProject52}
I had to go to the archives for these pictures because I haven’t been taking very many pictures lately. It’s been cold and rainy, I’ve been lazy busy. Even before I knew about the Rule of Thirds, I noticed that many of my pictures tended to skew towards the left side with lots of negative…
Week 10: Green {#OurProject52}
It’s still winter around these parts, so I had to get creative with this week’s challenge and use a house plant. One that I haven’t killed. I remember reading many moons ago that you should always have something living in each room, you know, other than yourself and your family. My dad used to believe…
Week 9: In My Cup {#OurProject52}
Hi, my name is Daenel and I’m a coffee addict. I started drinking coffee when I was about 10 or 11 years old. My parents used to pastor a church when we lived in Italy, and after service, the church would serve refreshments. One Sunday my parents were taking for~ever to finish talking to everyone,…
