New for 2011

I decided this is the year that photography is going to become my priority project. Not only do I want to become a better photographer, I also want to learn to shoot completely in manual mode. With that in mind, I thought I'd try a Project 365.

This morning there was a post on the Digital Photography School blog with a weekly list of themes that could be used for the project. I will take any help I can to give me continual momentum with this, so I will probably be following those themes throughout the year.

This one took a bit of manipulation. I had to scan it in two parts and then put them together in Photoshop Elements. Which I might add is nothing like Photoshop. After using Photoshop, Elements has been a bit harder to learn.

This lamp is made out of pink quartz. I won it several years ago at a silent auction. So pretty. Much prettier in real lfe.

I used to draw all the time, but for some reason, I haven't picked up a pencil in a few year. I don't know what my resistance has been. In an effort to make myself draw, I decided to take a class. Not all of my drawings I post here will be my homework for that class. These are just drawings I've done.

Testing

This is a test post to see how this program works.

A new month already

I can't say as I've been extremely creative. Or creative at all. I spent most of January just thinking. Today, I painted my bedroom. Or should I say started painting. Hope to finish tomorrow.
