13/366 – Soapy

I was working on job applications all day and forgot about taking a picture until this evening. I need to get out of the house tomorrow for some pictures; hopefully it isn’t miserably cold.

357/365 – Celebrate

I don’t like this. But it was the absolute only idea I could come up with, and one of the few that actually turned out to be anything decent. The colors are weird, and the shadow bothers me, and it is just boring; but oh well. And, I am aware that this would have been more fitting for last night’s photo.

234/365 – Ready to Bust

This is lame. It was late last night, and I didn’t have a picture, but Whitney came into my room to ask about her soda can. Since I didn’t have anything else I took a picture. I am in such a rut, and it is frustrating me.

But, I do have some exciting news! I had entered into a juried show at a gallery here in Lexington, and found out yesterday that one of my pictures was accepted!! It was the tobacco shot that was my picture for day 206. I just ordered the print, and have to get a frame for it, which is exciting. The reception is September 17 (gallery hop day) from 6-8 at Awesome Inc for all of you lovely Lexington friends who would like to come see it and me!

230/365 – The Magician’s Secret.

I seem to be perpetually a day behind on my project lately. I don’t take a picture until evening, and then I am always doing something at night, which prevents me from having time to edit and post. So I apologize for that, and I will try to do better (but I am not making any promises, it is after all my senior year of college).

This glass bottle was given to me by Whitney (my roommate who has been such an incredible help to my 365 as of late). I told her I was starting a glass collection and she pulled this out for me, I love it! I was trying to think of something to take a picture of and I thought of the bubbly shape of the bottle, and the bubbles I had sitting on the table, and immediately connected them. I recruited the help of both my roommates for this. I had them both blowing bubbles d the glass so I could have a ton, and half unpoppable, half normal.

Yes, I realize it is extremely similar to the bubble pictures I took earlier in the summer, except for the glass bottle. But, I stil like it, so that is good right?

Also, as for the title, I have no clue where it came from. I pulled up the “new post” screen and clicked in the title box, and the first thing to pop into my head was “the magician’s secret.” It means nothing, to me at least. I am not even the least bit interested in magician’s or magic, so who knows how my mind works.

225/365 – Unpoppable Bubbles!

I finally found them!! I had told a couple of friends here in KY about these unpoppable bubbles I had played with a long time ago at home, and no one believed me. They must have thought I was crazy. Then, when I was at the grocery store with my mom while home in Minnesota, I found them! I showed my roommate, Whitney (who you have seen before), and we were both so entertained by them, so naturally it had to be a 365.

There are a few things I dislike about this picture, but, it was by far my favorite out of the bunch and I felt showed off the bubbles the best, so I decided to use it.

193/365 – Coffee and Cream

I am constantly fascinated with how liquids behave, especially drops into liquids. I don’t think it is something that I will ever get used to or grow sick of seeing.

I am not a huge coffee drinker despite the fact that I own a coffee maker (left to me by my sister-in-law). However when my dad was in town he bought some coffee and creamer, and so I decided today I needed to drink so. Plus it was just a good day for it. I recently saw a picture on Flickr of a drop of cream into coffee and so I wanted to give it a try. I know it isn’t the most interesting or spectacular image, but I am pretty happy with the results. I may upload a couple of others, at different “‘stages” of the drop.

I used a SB-600 on camera, bounced off a wall, but unfortunately cannot remember what I had it set at. Any feedback would be appreciated, I am always looking to improve!

Bubbles

Well I am finally getting the “rest” of the bubble pictures up. Sorry there are so many, I just like a ton of them.

All but a few are straight out of the camera and completely unedited. Enjoy!

153/365 – Burst!

I have been wanting to do a bubble picture for the longest time, and finally had a chance to tonight. Pretty much straight out of camera, partly because I don’t have time to do any work on it, and partly because I love it like this.

Tons more to come from this shoot most likely. But it may take a while.

132/365 – Bubbles!

Elliot likes to play with bubbles when he does dishes, haha. He is such a little kid and I love it.

93/365 – Splash!

Well this is the shoot I tried to do a while ago, and I finally got to re-try it. I still may redo this at some point (when I actually have some money to get proper equipment), but I am fairly happy with a few of these. Plus it was just a perfect day so how could I be upset?
