Day 222 (February 10th, 2011)
Title: Pink Button


This is another photo of a "scrap" flower that our friend made which just sitting around chatting.  She took some scraps of ribbon, some random buttons and pink thread and added a bit of 'ninja-esq' powers - bang!  Cool pink/punk button-flowers!  I am still surprised when I see people just make things out of just random bits and pieces.  I never would have thought to do some of these things that I see when I watching folks scrap.  Cards, books, flowers, you name it - they can 'see' it in those things that to me, are just paper, buttons, and string.

Day 196 (January 15th, 2011)
Title: Heart Trail

Who knew that the meaning of life and happiness could be found in a little box of candies?!  As I was sorting through the candies to take some shots, I realized there was a path or "trail" and that if you put them in the right order, happiness could be found!  And all this time listening to Oprah and Dr. Phil, buying tons of 'Self Help' books, and all I needed was a small box of candies...

Day 195 (January 14th, 2011)
Title: Candy Hearts #1


Ah, little candy hearts, the epitome of school Valentine's Day candy.  Cute to get, but taste like chalk mixed with sugar.  I've always thought some of the thoughts on them seems a tad out of place for a kids candy ("Marry Me", "Let's Ride", and "Love Me").  But then again, when I was a kid we had candy cigarettes, so who's to say what's strange.  I shot these little candies for two reasons, first they are quite cute and second I really wanted to play with my macro teleconverter. 


Enjoy

Day 56 (August 29th, 2010)
Title: Framily Flower

Today was a crazy (but darn fun) day!  Lot of folks over, lots of cooking, lots of cleaning, and just a whole lot of "lots".  Our friend Amy was nice enough to bring over some lovely flowers today and I thought I just had to shoot them! (I mean the flowers, not Amy.  That'd be mean.  "Thanks! [BLAM!]")  I wish I could have gotten some pictures of all the cooking that happened, but I couldn't for two reasons:

1) I had a lot of prep-stuff to do before folks arrived.  Supposedly having Magic cards littered about the entire kitchen/living room isn't considered "Decor".  Who knew?!

2) Theresa would have killed me.  "You are stopping to take pictures?!  I think not! [Stabby, Stab, Stabby] "  

So, perhaps next time when some of us (re: everyone else but me) isn't so stressed out I'll get some fun cooking photos.  I'm also going to do me weekly hindsight tomorrow, because its late and I am falling asleep while typing them (thank God for spell checkers!).

I hope everyone had a great weekend, you saw friends and family (aka: Framily), and basically took it easy.

Day 37 (August 9th, 2010)
Title: Iron Flamingo

Saw this at a antique arts store, and along with tomorrow's picture (Ooo, foreboding!) this could be one of the greatest sculptures ever!  We are talking the Bernini of Scrap Metal.  Lets just be honest, who WOULDN'T want a 4' iron flamingo! 

In fact, here is a bonus picture of Pinky!
