365 Project, week 8

If I could post a picture of me being dragged behind the 365 project wagon, holding on for dear life, I would.
I have not fallen off completely.
I am still holding on to the hitch. :-D

365 Project, week 1

I am a student of photography. I love the art of it, and the challenge of it. It's harder than you think!! :)
I have been inspired in 2011 by Jenny Rigney to complete something called the "365 project", which is a challenge to take a picture every single day, even when there is nothing to photograph. :) It inspires photographers to think outside the box and be creative. I can tell already that this project is going to improve my skills. I'm excited!

Each week, on Saturday, I plan to post the previous week's photos.

I'm uncharacteristically not feeling chatty this morning, and I can hear Mocha Man steaming the milk for my latte, so without further ado:

1-01 New Year's day Wii
1-02 Homemade meatballs!!!

1-03 Taking down the Christmas tree!

1-04 My friend Sarah's gorgeous daughter, Abby.

1-05 Drummin'

1-06 Flute

1-07 - Absolutely nothing to photograph. We spent the day insulating our attic, hence the dust mask. :) Out of commitment to this project, I took this creepy picture of myself, and out of lack of any other picture taken that day, I am posting this. Mark my words that I will never do another self-portrait out of desparation again. I will photograph my shoe rack or something instead. :)

It's beginning to look a lot like...

The clues:

SNOWBALL FIGHTS!

Don't even think about it, Mocha Man.

Adapted from the words of Mouse, "The best kind of (first ever!) snowball fight is the one you share with a friend"

Finished off with some Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread, and it's the perfect day.

Even if it's still November.
