I’ve got a whole slew of photography projects I’d like to begin. I’m enjoying seeing what my camera can do, what post-processing can do.
Here are a few things I hope to work on in the coming year:
- A perpetual calendar: This perpetual calendar would require some work to find the appropriate images for use in it’s creation, but I imagine it would look mighty nice on my office wall!
- Green photography challenge: I’d like to take a series of green photographs that can be fused together into a single poster. Maybe other colors too. But I like green, so I though I’d start there.
- An alphabet from letters on signs: I’d like to do a set of photo cards with each having a different letter on the alphabet on the front, taken from a sign in our town. Similar to the poster below, which is made up of bits of nature shots.
Looking forward to showing you the results as they happen.
Marc and I took a walk down to the lake which gives our road it’s name. I captured what I think are some good photos of our fall colors.
It’s the first time I’ve taken what I think are decent images of the reflections in water. Very pretty colors too!

Moira is preparing her costume for an event she goes to next week. She’s going as a goddess, though I’m afraid I’ve forgotten which one. Here’s a photo of her look.
Our car is out of commission, but Moira and I have both arranged rides for early in the week at least. My plan is to pick up what groceries we need from the grocery store across from my office at lunch time. Then I’ll put ‘em in the fridge until after work and – ta da – grocery shopping without a multi-mile walk!
More photos of the costume and our fall walk can be found in our new gallery here.
I’m scanning photographs for my father and came across this one taken at a July 4th picnic at the bandstand at the University of Florida (if I recall correctly).
Today is the 23rd anniversary of the current iteration of the Internal Revenue Code, which came in to being when Ronald Reagan signed the Tax Act Reform of 1986.
…now that I’ve grown up is one of those ladies who wear a cardigan twinset with a scarf.
Now I just need some more cardigans and some more scarves!
Ha ha!
I had an appointment with author and career counselor Peggy Collins on Friday afternoon. We’d met a couple times before at the Hendersonville Women’s Business Exchange. Peggy invited to me to come by her office to speak a bit more in depth about networking. I came away from our talk feeling motivated, confident and ready to take on networking with a renewed vigor.
In that vein, today I attended my first NCACPA lunch meeting (at Asiana Grand Buffet in Asheville). The speaker was a fellow who sells radio ad-space. I found the information regarding listener demographics for the various stations Clear Channel represents in Asheville. A bit of light conversation, some food, and exchanging of business cards – all in all a nice way to spend a lunch hour.
Moira participated in a body art shoot today. Here’s one of the photos from the shoot – with modesty strip. Click the photo for a link to her Model Mayhem portfolio.

We headed up the Blue Ridge Parkway again this weekend, but with one big difference: I didn’t get my camera batteries charged before we left! As a consequence, I only managed to snap a few photos before running out of juice. Here they are:
The sky is a bit blow out in this one, but the colors of the foliage is pretty true to life.
This one has only the very neat clouds and sky to recommend it. I was taking a couple test shots before setting up for “real” shots when I ran out of battery. All the best photos remained untaken, but hopefully lodged reasonably well in our memories. :)
