Saturday, 28 May 2011, was a day in which we actually got to see some sun for a portion of the day – unfortunately for me I spent most of the day in the attic of my house putting in a new bathroom vent/light/heater unit. The kids, however, took advantage of the sun and went […]
Photography
Grateful 365 Day Eighteen
Today’s photo was a tough one to choose because I am really not very happy with any of the photos I made. A big part of the reason I am doing this project is to help me get better at seeing the photographic opportunities around me and making the most of them. Unfortunately for me, […]
Grateful 365 Day Seventeen
As I have mentioned in past posts, most of Montana east of the Rocky Mountains has received record-breaking, river-flooding rain, which has kept us inside for the better part of the last 3 weeks. With very little break in the rain, we are very thankful to see the sun from time to time and when […]
Grateful 365 Day Sixteen
Day 16’s photo(s) sort of stretch the rules I put in place for myself in that it is 5 separate pictures instead of just one and I took longer than 15 minutes putting it together. There was really no way to choose just one photo from the “session” yesterday so I don’t mind coloring outside […]
Grateful 365 Day Fifteen
Day 15’s photo came at the end of a whole lot of photos I was taking of Lilly, Gannon, and Emma putting on a puppet show. Lilly was growing weary of smiling and decided that this face best described how she felt about continuing to be my subject. Lilly and I not only share many […]
Grateful 365 Day Fourteen
This has been one of the wettest springs I can remember so when the rain finally stopped and the sun came out my subject was clear. After not seeing the sun for so many days I am grateful that it finally broke through. ISO 400, 40mm, f/11, 1/3200 sec
Grateful 365 Day Thirteen
My grateful photo today was taken with my cell phone while I was out with my boys letting Mom get some much needed rest. We made it a point to visit both Army/Navy stores in Billings and check out all the great gear they have. Connor, my oldest son, was pretty keen on trying on […]
Grateful 365 Day Twelve
The kids’ school year is winding down and Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs. Sitte had t-shirts made for all the school kids to wear during the last few days of school. I figured it would be a great opportunity to get some photos of the students in their new shirts. My project photo from today is […]
Grateful 365 Day Eleven
After the events of Day 10 and my not having my DSLR I was thankful to be able to get more creative with my photo for today. The idea for this shot came to me during my drive to work this morning but I had yet to decide upon the specific subject. While I was […]
Grateful 365 Day Ten
This is way late for yesterday, but I ran into some technical difficulties that will be explained later. I took my two oldest kids, Connor and Emma, to a “Christian” rock concert in Billings featuring Disciple, Kutless and News Boys at the Shrine Auditorium. Overall it was a great concert and we all had a […]
