52 week Project- Week 15 - circles

Week fifteen - circles

Don't even know what the 52 project is? MY spin on the 365...
If you are at all into photography you have heard of the 365 projects where you take, edit, and post a picture each day of the year. I mean, I love shooting, love editing, love sharing but I want days off too. So, here's the compromise...I am doing a 52 project. A post a week, five photos (m-f get it?!) and a theme to the five shots. Posted each Wednesday.

So last night as a family activity each member got their cameras and we shot circles around the house. The challenge was to shoot 5 circles and compose them in the same spot on the frame.  Symphony came to the share time with over 50 circles!! ALL composed in the center. I chose to compose them in the upper left third. Hope you enjoy them.

MORE online holiday card deals

All right people here's the newest online special I was sent. Walgreens is offering 33% off all photo cards ANS $10 off on orders of $25 or more until Nov. 20th. Not sure you can use these together but it's worth a try. I am thinking it might be time for me to place my family's order. Are you planning on making your own holiday cards this year? How will you design them? What images will you use? Love to hear your thoughts, leave a comment on this blog.

Don't forget if you are a client of Cindi with an eye you can buy digital negatives from your gallery, if you were shot in the past 12 months. Just send me and email and I'll pull the negative for you to buy.




Below is an example of a holiday card that is sized 5x7 and can be printed at the Walgreens lab. Do you need a card designed and laid out? Call or send and email.

52 project - week thirteen - beach

An amazing client of mine allowed me and my fam to stay at their beach condo a couple of nights prior to there beach session. While staying there I took over 1,000 images. The area was way too inspiring. Enjoy. Leave a comment here on your favorite beach in Florida.

It was chilly even though the images make you feel so warm.

Name my camera to WIN!

She's HOME! My camera that is.

If you haven't read my post on the shutter disaster its worth a gander. My Canon 5D bit it hard two weeks ago mid-assignment and had to take a flight to VA to Canon. Well she's home again and ready to work.
NOW for the fun part... Let's name her! My cars have names, my kids do too, but my camera... nameless. It's like she's not even a member of the family, and you all know I spend more time with her than anyone in the fam. So help me name her!

Post a comment on this blog at the bottom and you might even win something! 
How about an hour massage with Angienius! 
Whoop whoop! Most creative name wins!

52 week project - Week twelve - Gardening


I love the idea of growing my own groceries. Not only would it be a large savings but the satisfaction of biting in to a food that I knew was grown without chemicals and suffering would just taste better.

Ok, this isn't just a theory of mine, I've actually successfully grown my own garden and eaten the fruits of my labor. Every year the children beg me to start a new garden, so I weed the old plot, till it, clean and prep it for the seedlings. About a week into this magical experience the kids lose interest and I am forced to weed, feed, and care for the crops myself.

I still love my time spent out there in the sunshine watching the sprinkler rain on the garden. I talk to God when I'm out there and the toads seem to listen. Every so often I get to pick a ripe tomato or a green bean. I even rinse and eat some right in the garden, it's my little slice of heaven.

Do you garden? What do you grow? What is the easiest plant to care for?
