Clean vs Dirty

Wasn't thrilled with my 1st draw.

I almost put it back. 

But then the Universe was like "NO". And the quote that happened to be in my daily gratitude journal THAT VERY DAY was:

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

- Henry David Thoreau

 

Noted.

 

DIRTY: I found the design of the leaves looking like something was crawling out of the gutter. 

DIRTY: The winds sure love to pile things up

DIRTY: Guess the park was busy that weekend

    

CLEAN: The chonky Princess cleaning herself

CLEAN: Because what purrrrfect way to represent Clean!

CLEAN: This car was dope - and clean!

First week of my little challenge for myself completed. Didn't get nearly enough pictures as I would have liked, but I think that was a combination of really struggling with "Clean vs Dirty" and also being sick most the week so actually not out and about as much as I normally would have.

Pulled my new card for the new week, so let's see where this goes!

Def happy to be finding away to get some damn creativity back into my life!

 

NEW PROJECT ALERT

I'm antsy.

I am doing NOTHING creative lately.

I'm struggling to get my little adventure group to do anything.

I finally decided - "Jami - just fucking do SOMETHING!"

Pat bought me a deck of photo cards last year when I was whining I lost my previous deck. They've been staring at me forever now. Was hoping to get the group to do something, but finally have decided to do this myself.

I'm hoping this will help me get motivated and inspired or at least just doing something Creative. 

I always work better with a guide of some sort and these will be it.

I have no idea if I'll create something else with these, or what will come of them. But for now - I have this Photo Blog - why not post them here.

So here we go.

I have an alarm set on my phone for Sunday mornings to draw a card. For that week I will photograph whatever that card assigns me. (Obvi pausing for weeks of travel, or something of the like)

 I drew my 1st card this week!

I'll then post the pictures I take in a separate blog each week!

LET'S DO THIS! 

 

Oso Creek Park Play Date...

 I"ve been itching to do another photo play date, and with no plans on Labor Day I threw it out to the group.  My only taker was Noel (He's the most committed one!) I tried to find something interesting that we hadn't been too, and we wanted to stay away from the Coast since it's a holiday so I found what looked to be a cool park in Aliso Viejo.  Sadly it got hot really fast, so we didn't explore the whole thing and apparently missed some really good stuff.  So we def plan to go back when the weather is cooler.  But we had a nice morning walking around and did see some fun stuff!

Hailey Graduation Photos

 Libby asked me to take Hailey's Graduation Photos.  I was so honored and of course burst into tears when she showed up at my door with her cap and gown.  I wanted to post them here in my photo blog because a few people were really impressed with them and said they looked like a professional took them.  Made me feel so good and of course I'm so proud of this girl!!

Here's all the shots from our photo shoot.
