Project 365; Day 36

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead
It back home

- Bring Me To Life
Evanescence

can you see my Marilyn Monroe poster in the reflection? xD I guess I have shiny eyes or something...

I thought this was gonna be amaaaazing
I had big plans, lol
unfortunately that didnt happen.
theres something about it thats bugging me
i just cant put my finger on it.
oh well.

this was the original look i was going for:


only i couldnt quite get it to look the way I wanted and you could tell i'd try to fix it. it just looked bad
i have gross skin >_<
Im not terribly thrilled with either of these but Im tired of looking at them right now xD they're starting to creep me out. lol

Project 365; Day 35

I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in black and white
Then I reviewed every frame and basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Don’t refocus your eyes in the darkness
And don’t remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
And we’ll unravel the mystery

song of the day is Dear Vienna by Owl City :]
I went out into knee-deep snow to take these :P
thats dedication. lol xD
actually i wasnt aware it was THAT deep until it was too late
but still :P

Project 365; Day 34

Industrious, eager, rival, emulating

lolwut? xD
i think the bottom one is my favorite

God Is Salvation

Joshua's turn for pictures :P
I cant decide if I prefer them like this all innocent yet serious
or if I'd rather he smile.

vintage-y sunset

I was using my "wide angle/macro" lens. Thats in quotations because it isnt technically a lens xD its just this big silver thing that goes on the end of my real lens and kinda widens things a little. if im lucky it'll do a little fish eye type thing but usually I just like it for the little bit of vignette it puts around my pictures. which i probably cropped most of it out when i was quickly trying to resize these xD oh well.

Project 365; Day 33

this woman's RED shoes caught my eye xD
I couldnt help but take a picture of them

Project 365; Day 32

Well I've lasted a whole month :] Im getting good at this, lol


This was at my brother's Pinewood Derby race today. His car got first place in his group.

Project 365; Day 30

I went snowboarding today and decided to take some candids.
Then people stopped walking close enough to me, lol,
I miss snowboarding. :] i forgot how fun it was.
and i didnt forget everything from last year either, luckily, xD

Princess

Maybe I'm just in a black and white frenzyyy today
but i love it xD two siblings down, two more to go
I cant decide with the last two which version i like better

And you have no idea how long it took me to get her hair done xD I've never curled anyones hair before (not even my own) so it was interesting :P
i think she had fun though.

God's Honor

He looks really good in black and white...

Project 365; Day 29

“Appearances are a glimpse of the unseen. ”

Today I was thinking how I don't take many pictures of my brother Timmy so here he is xD I made him change his shirt and comb his hair. It took him about 20 minutes to get it the way he wanted, then i messed it up again, lol!

Project 365; Day 28

Project 365; Day 26

The only pressure I'm under is the pressure I've put on myself.
- Mark Messier

Project 365; Day 25

“We view things not only from different sides, but with different eyes; we have no wish to find them alike.”

"Our whole life is but a greater and longer childhood"

“Passion is a sort of fever in the mind, which ever leaves us weaker than it found us.”
- William Penn

Is this picture too weird?
I can't make up my mind xD
I editted it a little so my cheek looked rosier, lol
And I cant decide if I like it or not.
but anyways, I think I finally caught whats been going around our house all week D:

Project 365; Day 21

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”
- Anne Bradstreet

Question: Does anybody know how to get new fonts into Gimp/remove ones I dont want?

Project 365; Day 20

Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring - quite often the hard way.

-Pamela Dugdale

I took a bunch of these but the lighting idea was bad, lol. It was really really bright. Most of the good ones ended up with his face too washed out. And then after i took these he decided he was sick xD And now he has a fever, lol.
So I have to wait until his fever is gone before I try again, xD

Project 365; Day 19

“With each sunrise, we start anew”

I got up this morning and since my window has an almost perfect view of the sun rising I couldn't help but notice how beautiful it looked through the icicles. :] I'm not dedicated enough to go out in the snow in the morning xD Plus the icicles are too high so I obviously took these through my window :P but I still like them.

Project 365; Day 18

We do not remember days; we remember moments.
- Cesare Pavese

Project 365; Day 17

I don't like this. It sucks. Im aware.
But I have to post something
Or else i'll just fail for the rest of my life
And that shiny little piggy bank has been calling to me ever since my brother got it
ANYWAYS
I am having some difficulty with vista photo viewing stuff D:
I cant view photos in a slideshow so i cant see the ones i wanted to use
and when i use the photo viewer, theres something weird with the colors. its so annoying
and then gimp is like all one big box and its annoying
aaaaaaand theres only a handful of fonts


other than that picture trouble vista is great.
too bad pictures are like a huge deal to me
and i get frustrated easily.

im baaack

my computer is all fixed :]
and now i have vista
which is kinda neat so far

bad news is im almost a week behind in project 365 D:
ohnoes
i guess i'll just post two pictures a day until i'm caught up or something
but no picture today

because im a slacker.
sorry.
lol

where i've been

i know its only been two days but it feels like longer o_o
and no, i don't have a picture for today
but here's the thing,
i got some giant mutant computer virus.
and it almost ate me alive
i barely escaped with my life.
but anyways, my computer is not usable yet and will not be until tomorrow (hopefully).
all my pictures are going to be safely transferred onto some kind of memory storage device and everything's gonna be hunky dory after my dad blows up my computer
so I'll post three days worth then
i just thought i would let you know,
since some people actually look at this blog :]

Project 365; Day 16

And I cannot find any nearsighted quotes.
Bummer.
But i posted something before i even ate lunch so thats an accomplishment xD

Project 365; Day 15

“Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all.”
- Emily Dickinson

i'm actually really pleased with these :]
considering they were all taken through a dirty glass door, lol

AND ALL THE BOKEH <3
