Project365: January

This is a mosaic of my January Project365, a photo a day.
So far so good, although it is definitely hard to find time to shoot everyday. However, I think forcing myself to shoot everyday not only gives me time to reflect and makes a great journal of 2009, I've also gotten better at shooting and framing and all that too. So, I think it's a win-win! Now let's just hope that the rest of the months will come as easily as January did.

I really like how this photo turned out... I took this photo on one of those days, when I was all grumpy and just wanted to go home.

The photo was made with a point and shoot as my train was arriving the BART station.

I love the grainy results.

This picture is hilarious. Mimi was itching her head on a blanket that was very statically charged, and then she turned out like this!

For the last couple of years, Huxley's parents and Mimi's parents always get together for a holiday meal, either right before or right after Christmas. This year, with our travels and some family matters on their side, we just didn't have the time to ourselves to celebrate the holidays properly until the evening of January 2nd.

I'm glad we finally managed to have our holiday meal together, clams, rice cakes (good for the new year) and lots of left-overs (ham and other stuff from NYE).

Boy was it yummy. :P

Ok, so, I started a Project365 for 2009. Since I'll be taking a photo a day, I'll post them here too for my blog readers to enjoy.

Got a plastic lens Lensbaby for Christmas. So here's a "defocused" shot for the first day of the New Year. Hopefully I'll get to use this lens for more neat effect shots soon. :)

Haven't blogged in a long while, so a little embarrassed to "re-start", but gotta do it right?

Anyway, we were in LA for the Christmas holidays and also for a wedding and that was when I captured this "grown up" photo of Peanut. She looks so mature! Except, her book is up-side-down... :)

Will try to blog more, since blogging from Flickr is so easy!

No Excuse!

There's really no excuse for not blogging for as long as I have... So hopefully a blog tonight will at least make it up a little to all my readers (hope you guys are still out there). :)

Let's see, first of all, I just uploaded a few photos from my Napa trip way back in the first half of September:



Check out the whole series by clicking on the photo.

I've been doing a lot of weddings lately... Mostly second shooting for a pretty awesome photography studio that won't let me post the photos... A little bummed that I can't share the photos with you, but they are pretty awesome and I am really enjoying it. The next couple of weeks I'll be shooting with some other photographers who will let me post the photos so I am looking forward to sharing then.

On the real work front, I know I say I don't want to blog about it, but I've been traveling a bunch and it's been really fun and tiring at the same time. The most recent trip I went on it was a conference where the theme was "productivity". Although it sounded corny, the conference was really good and totally made me walk away refreshed! I think it's showing in my work and life, which is pretty neat. An example... Be effective, not just efficient. How often do you think you are being super efficient by getting through a bunch of menial tasks only to realize at the end of the day you didn't get any of your big TO DOs done?

My husband went to the city for Fleet Week today. I wasn't invited and am feeling all grumpy for having been left behind. I know his friend planned it and it's not like he didn't try to get me a ticket too, but deep down inside I kinda wish he didn't go! I mean, if _I_ had bought tickets or suggested we go to Fleet Week the DH would have simply said it'd be too crowded and he rather stay home. :(

Alright, I hope everyone actually made it through to the end of this long blabbering. Testing out a few new series - Sanctuary, Fringe, etc... So far, not sure about either.
