DPP Day 2 :: Token Holiday BokehPosted by Alli on December 2, 2011
The holidays are typically the time of year when the word “bokeh” is thrown around. In photography the word means blur. With all the extra twinkle lights being draped on trees, lampposts, banisters, and maybe a child or two, you can find the holiday blur in the background of pictures worldwide, whether you meant to [...]
December Photo Project, again!Posted by Alli on December 1, 2011
It’s here! December 1st means a few things to me: 1) I’m behind in decorating. 2) I’m behind in gifting. 3) I’m behind in {fill in the blank}. 4) It’s time for the December Photo Project! I’ve been crappy at blogging this year, but I have kept up with the photography stuff and I’m thrilled [...]
Focus :: Letters {I’m published!}Posted by Alli on April 22, 2011
Last week, during post surgery haze, I received a very important piece of mail. This book contains nine images I submitted to Lark after they saw my letter projects on Flickr and approached me. (Sidenote: While some of our flickr photostream is organized, it could be better, I know!) I submitted them at the eleventh [...]
DPP :: The Ninjas are deadly and silentPosted by Alli on December 13, 2010
Today I made the Ninjabread Men for Damon’s office party. I also made some regular gingerbread men, but the Ninjabread Men were a bit cooler to make. However, I will note that making Ninja shaped cookies didn’t really put me in the Christmas spirit, as it would most of the time. Instead, I couldn’t get [...]
DPP :: Contrast and FamilyPosted by Alli on December 12, 2010
This picture is poignant to me… What I see is a big boy who can do something like build a passenger car by myself and the little boy who happily sits by his daddy to get help to build a passenger car. The contrast pierces my heart, as Fuller moves on to being that much [...]
DPP :: Ok with mehPosted by Alli on December 10, 2010
Tonight’s DPP represents me letting go and being ok with something not so exciting. Dinner was kind of scraping the barrel tonight. I need to go to the grocery store, but I didn’t have the car today so I really had to make do with what was in the house. And honestly, I have to [...]
DPP :: Holiday Bokeh PartyPosted by Alli on December 9, 2010
I hope you aren’t tired of the bokeh in my December Photo Project pictures. But today I am kind of double dipping again. The following picture is my DPP and I am submitting it for the Holiday Bokeh Party at Life with My 3 Boybarians. I said I needed more practice, and I think I’m [...]
DPP :: A Double Dip!Posted by Alli on December 8, 2010
Ok, I didn’t post a picture for yesterday. But I didn’t have a picture for yesterday, so today I’m double dipping and giving you two pictures! First, this morning’s sunrise was breathtaking and immediately had me running for the camera. The rest of our day was spent in errands and then coming home to clean [...]
Sweet Shot Tuesday :: Baby It’s Cold OutsidePosted by Alli on December 7, 2010
I took this picture yesterday, when the boys and I were outside for over an hour watching Damon do something “interesting” for work. (I can’t say yet because it isn’t finished. And it is work related. Is there a term for a husband being dooced because his wife blogged about his work? Because whatever that [...]
DPP :: GingerbreadPosted by Alli on
First, I can’t believe I forgot to post this yesterday. I took the picture, uploaded it to flickr, and then got distracted. As has been mentioned in the past, making Christmas cookies is not high on my list of fun Holiday activities. But my husband asked me to make some for his office party and [...]
