52 Project - week 19 - lights
Don't even know what the 52 project is? MY spin on the 365...
Maybe 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.
Week nineteen - lights
We took a family trip to Silver Springs Attraction for the festival of lights. What a great opportunity to play with shutter speed and exposure. I hope you enjoy my top five favorites. I wish you ALL a very Merry Christmas!

52 Project- week 18 - zebras
Ever had that feeling, when you know you saw something but you can't believe your eyes?
Ok, here's the deal. I drive out to Sholom Park quite a bit for work and always enjoy the drive since no one is asking for a snack, singing a random song, or fighting for my attention. It's a time for ME! I look out the window, I let the breeze blow my hair, I close my eyes and day dream WHOA I'm driving here! So, out of the corner of my eye I see a striped horse, no a zebra, no couldn't be.
It's sunset, it's been a long day I didn't just see a herd of zebras grazing in an Ocala horse pasture?! And indeed I did. Enjoy the shots.

52 Project - week 17 - Potato Soup
You say PotAto, I say potahto, we ALL say Potato soup! One of my favorite childhood recipes and dinner experiences was POTATO soup! I know it's the life of a frugal kid, but HEY it was a rich life!
I recently got 5 lb bags of potatoes BOGO at Publix and you know what that means... potato soup marathon! So I peeled 10 lbs of potatoes and froze the soup for a later date and of course we had soup that night for dinner.
So here's the deal... You make the soup according to the recipe (see below) and then you GO BANANAS with the toppings. In our house we have added: hot dogs, cheddar cheese, mozarella, crackers of all sorts, bacon, chicken, pork, beef, bologna, seasonings (cavendars of course!). NOW settle down, we didn't put all of these ingredients in all at once, ok maybe we tried it once, but the idea is to use what is left over in the fridge to dress up the basic potato soup.
Scroll down below the photos to see the recipe, I hope you try it and fall in love. It's such a fun and cheap way to feed the family.
Leave a comment below or photos of your final bowl!
Week seventeen - Potato soup!
Soup Recipe
3 tbsp. margarine or butter
1/2 onion chopped
4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
Instant mash potatoes (a box)
Powered milk, 1/2-3/4 cup
Seasonings
Saute onions in butter. Meanwhile, boil water and place into it the potatoes. After potatoes have boiled and they are soft, remove them with a slotted spoon. Set the potatoes aside in a bowl and SAVE the water. Add the powered milk to the water, stir it in. While milk is lightly boiling add the instatn mashed potatoes to consistency you want your soup to be (I like it thick). Return the cooked potatoes, onion and desired seasoning to the pot. Serve soup plain and let your guest "Dress it for Success!"

A social experiment. Join in.
Don't stop it, crop it. Who's next?
It all started with Ponticello Photography in Buffalo, New York. Joe Ponticello, owner/operator is my cousin. I fell head over heels with his profile pic and wanted to see how many people would do the same pose. So began the social experiment, a way to be social!
STEP 1: Make a picture of yourself using the same pose and composition.
STEP 2: Post it on Cindi with an eye's wall on facebook.
STEP 3: On New Years' Day 2011 I will post a super duper surprise!
