5/52- Simplicity

The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this week's M4H Project 52 theme was simplicity was my dog. Honestly, what is more simple than a dog's life? This is my chihuahua Lola, and her life consists mostly of laying around curled up into a little ball at my feet. If I'm running around like crazy, then she sits like this on the back of the couch like a queen bee. Her life is simple- I wish I could have it on some days.

4/52- Imperfection

Last week's Project 52 prompt was imperfection, and I couldn't help but think of my daughter's incoming teeth. She's 14 months already, and it seems her teeth are taking their time coming in. Not only that, she seems to get them all at the same time (whatever happened to one at a time?). I know they'll eventually all come in, but their pattern of arrival sure has been strange. 

Project 52 | Week 2 | Life

This week's Project 52 prompt was "life", which could have been interpreted in so many ways! I had imagined all sorts of photo ops for this week, and in the end, the week got away from me and all I was left with were some lack luster photos. I ended up choosing this photo of my littlest daughter. She was playing on the floor with Daddy, and when she saw me get out my camera, she booked it over to me with a huge smile on her face. 

Seeing my girls smile...that is the purpose in my life.

I am participating in a My Four Hens Photography Project 52. Each week M4H releases a photo prompt for the week, and our goal is to capture a photo with that theme in mind. For more information on M4H Project 52, visit here. 

Project 52 | Week One | Resolutions

One of the exciting projects I am starting for 2012 is a Project 52. You probably have heard of the idea- take one photo a week. Hmm- I take a lot more than one photo a week  (okay MOST are with my iPhone, but whatever), so I think I can handle this.

Well a particular photographer that I am fond of (My Four Hens Photography- LOVE her actions!) is hosting a P52 over on flickr and I'm joining in! The first week's prompt is Resolutions.

One of my resolutions for 2012 is to achieve better balance between work, play, family time, me time, and design time. "Balance" also happens to be my chosen "One Little Word" for 2012, but more on that later...

My original thought for this week's photo was to take a picture of my daughter looking like she's walking on a balance beam. Well.... our sidewalks have sloped curves, and getting my daughter to pose and cooperate with my artistic vision... uh yeah- not happening. In the end, this is the best shot I got and really it just looks like she's walking away, but use your imagination- she's balancing...see?

The week is not over, and technically I could probably take another picture, but we are heading out tomorrow for a weekend Disneyland trip, so I doubt I'll have the opportunity to take another one. So, here we have it- Project 52- Week One!
