Photo: ADA Lighting
I’ll bet most of you don’t know there are standards for lighting as a result of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). I didn’t know until we visited one of hubby’s subscribers and lantern manufacturer W. T. Kirkman in May. Woody very graciously showed us through his business facility as … Continue reading →
Cats: Lady and the Food Tower
As you have noticed, the kittens and Lady in particular, get a lot of attention on this blog. Yes, kittens is a misnomer — they’re a year and half old, but they’ll always be “the kittens” to me. Today is no exception. I’m sure you’ve heard of those food bowls … Continue reading →
Photo: Hydrangea
In the new schedule, I plan on posting a photo on Monday of each week. The house I rented in Virginia from 2002 – 2005 had lovely hydrangea in front. These were prolific bloomers, and I want to include them in our landscaping scheme as we plan for the … Continue reading →
Day 30: Long Exposure
This is the final challenge. I haven’t worked with this aspect of my camera, and I admit I didn’t check the book to see how to “do it right.” I wanted to experiment with different settings to see what I could get. I used “S” mode as well as EXR … Continue reading →
Day 29: Self-Portrait
This is the last one of these for a while. I jumped into the Way Back Machine and pulled up a photo from almost a decade ago. I had a little Logitech web cam I anticipated hubby and I might decide to use to talk live instead of over the … Continue reading →
Day 26: From A Distance
Here are some more nostalgic shots. These are from my trip to Riga, Latvia, in September, 2004. I just returned from a deployment to Bahrain, and this NATO trip was on my schedule. I was preparing to move to a division chief job, so I was handing my old job … Continue reading →
Day 23: Animal
Another archive photo. The cool thing about traveling to Winnipeg is the ready availability of polar bear yard art at local establishments. Unfortunately, I was flying, and I could only capture it in pictures. But I would totally have one of these in my yard if I could figure out … Continue reading →
Day 22: Sunflare
We still have a lot of overcast due to wonderful weather here in Central Texas. To that end, I began perusing my iPhoto library to see if I had managed to capture a shot at some point in the past that would meet the requirements for this challenge. It’s not … Continue reading →
Day 28: Black and White
Today’s challenge is “Black and White.” I couldn’t resist the opportunity to capture my “black and white” in Black and White. Here’s Lady, snuggled with her watch cap: I added a close up head shot of Lady honing in on the birds chirping outside the parlor window.
