katydid...spend Saturday photographing.

My weekly catch-up post! I'll take today's picture later tonight, but I shot some good stuff, in my *humble* opinion, this week. Thanks for looking & feel free to comment! (you need to have a google account to do that, though)

Monday: Ginger & Port Poached pears, made by husband-extraordinaire, Hans. Tasty!

Tuesday: Orangeyou having a good week, yet? Yes, this is a bit of a boring picture.

Wednesday: working with lilies, day 1. Practice makes...

Thursday: working with lilies, day 2-....PERFECT! I *love* this shot

Friday: Cuppa tea.

Saturday: I went a-photographing with Christina in Old Town Alexandria. And then I went into DC with Hans. These are my favorites of the day!

katydid...make a delicious dinner! (and catch-up on her blogging)

So, I'm finding keeping up with blogging & Project 365'ing is difficult. And I have to let one slip,
so I'll probably be blogging only once a week or so. Forgive me (and enjoy the following photos!) & anywho...

Ole! Hans & I freaking puffy heart tacos. Not taco-seasoning-and-crispy-shell-with-iceberg-tacos, but proper, based-in-authencity tacos. Tonight was a charred peppers and a "mojo" marinated chicken (fresh orange juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic, and ground pasilla peppers) variety with roasted corn (frozen from Trader Joe's & doctored up with fresh tomatoes & cilantro), jicama (with lime!), and sweet plantains. The plantains, as always, are the most delicioso part! :)

Catching up:

Wednesday: Thai for dinner!

Thursday: Snow!

Friday: Georgetown, at night.


Saturday: Purcellville, at dusk. A few extra, for your patience! :)

katydid...decide on a website design!

Some of you may know I've agonizing over a logo and website site for my photography "business." (it's not really a business. yet, anyways!) I think I've finally decided on a winner! Mad props to my hubz, Hans, for suggesting using a filmstrip across the top. Coming to an Internet near you...soon!

katydid...forget!

Oops! On Saturday I forgot to take a photo. Luckily, 2008 is a leap year so I won't have to rename my effort Project 364!

Sunday: wireless mouse and keyboard. Do you think it'd look better if I changed my focus? Like, make the mouse in focus & not the keyboard? Hmmmm...

Monday: my feets, pjs, and wall-o-photos.

katydid...take a photo of herself!

Every photographer, pro or otherwise, needs a picture of them taking a picture. RIGHT?!? And, this is proof of happy mistakes. This was an "outtake" but turned out to be my favorite. I like how my forehead is cropped off. More focus on my eyes and the camera!

katydid...take kickass photos in Ft. Lauderdale.

So, I was in 'Lauderdale on business. I was workin' like 12 hour days when you put in the schmoozing I was supposed to be doing in the evening. BUT, I was able to squeeze in a few workouts AND photo frames! I grew up in FL and sometimes forget it really is a beautiful state. The sunsets are especially breathtaking. My room was on the 12th floor and I got some spectacular views of what I can only assume is downtown Ft. Lauderdale. Below you've got a nice smattering of what it looks like at night, at night actin' crazy, and during a cloudy/rainy sky with what *may* be a Ron Paul 4 Prez. balloon. Just sayin'

Monday, Jan. 7th.

Tuesday, Jan. 8th.

Wednesday, Jan 9th.

Thursday, Jan.. 10th.

katydid...stick with the resolution!

While I haven't been blogging my pictures, I certainly have been taking them! I'm finding that it's quite difficult to keep up with the creativity day-after-day, but I'm determined to stick with the resolution! And, I'll be travelling for work over the next few days, so I'll do another catch-up post when I get back!

Here's today's picture. The website I made for my mom's non-profit is going live!


Friday's picture: Hans' bracelets w/ my bracelets. Hans grew up in Madagascar & wearing silver bracelets seem to be a tradition there. His are from his dad & his stepdad. Mine are from Hans' (Malagasy) stepmom & Hans (he bought it for me on our honeymoon in Thailand).




Saturday's picture: white leaves.
