89/365 – The Web

I think this is the earliest I have done my 365 yet this project. It is such a relief having it done this early. And, I love being able to just go out, set things up quick and have everything go extremely smooth, get some good shots, and be done. Such a great feeling to start the day with!

While I lay with the spiders…

Since I was stuck laying on the ground while my friend attached string to me (from the “Bleed” photo shoot), I resorted to taking pictures to give myself something to do. I got a little more “experimental” than I usually do with my shots, mostly due to the fact that I wasn’t able to look where I was shooting for a lot of them.

51/52 – Bleed

I have had this shot in mind for quite a few weeks, and finally got around to it this weekend. It isn’t quite as relevant as it was when I thought of it, but still is packed with meaning for me.

This may have been the longest it has ever taken to set up one of my pictures too. I had scoped out the location a couple of weeks ago, so I didn’t waste time trying to find one. But, once we got on location, I had to find the right angle for the camera, and then the right angle for me to lay down. Once I figured that out, I laid down amidst countless spiders and other creepy crawlies, and my friend attached red yarn to me and the trees around me. It was weird for me to not be the one physically setting up the shot, and I just had to lay there and direct him since I was attached to branches all around. It rained fairly hard twice while I was laying there, and I flicked off quite a few spiders throughout the process.

Overall it was quite the shoot. I wish that the yarn was more visible and obvious, and pulled tighter to prevent the slack, but it is just yet another lesson learned.

316/365 – Play Time

**Sunday, November 21

I didn’t intend for yesterday’s picture to be of Pixel, but I was playing around early in the day, and then things got busy and I didn’t get around to doing anything else. So, once again, here is our kitty.

On an unrelated note, for those of you who know Flickr, my pro account ran out. I didn’t think I was going to miss it, but now that it is gone, yikes, free Flickr does not quite cut it. Too bad I barely have money for food, let alone upgrading my Flickr account. That said, if you should feel the desire to support this starving artist, I am always selling prints, just message or comment and we will work something out! And thank you all for the comments and encouragement!
