Y is for Yellow

I had to take this in the morning before work (on the side of the road, no less) so I didn't spend the time to get it right. I'm not happy with this one, but at least I got it done. On to the next letter...

F is for Fungus

So, it's obvious that I've completely abandoned my theme of "love." Instead the theme is "whatever semi-interesting thing I can find to take a picture of every day before the sun goes down."

But still, this tree fungus is somewhat pretty, don't you think? I could probably grow to love it if I had to.

C is for Cookies and Milk

Redo of my cookies and milk shot. The white background was causing me all sorts of trouble, so I decided to use the farm table instead.

I'm happy with it, although I think we can all agree the version with the puppy was much better.

T is for Torture

I was determined yesterday to take a "milk and cookies" shot for my SFS picture. I even baked cookies from scratch and had my milk bottle styled just so. But it was cloudy all day and I had basically no indoor light. I had to move my setup right next to the back door and poor Sugar was tormented. This actually turned out to be my favorite shot of the day. And judging from the reactions from my classmates (and teacher) it's the happy accidents that often turn out the best, right?

Hopefully I'll get to try the milk and cookies shot again when the sun cooperates (and sans puppy).

D is for Droplets

It was such a dreary day yesterday, but I was determined to get outside for my SFS shot, even in the rain. Green pine needles and water droplets made for a nice subject.

N is for Newel Posts, New and Old

On Friday I toured the historic home of a coworker that he's renovating in downtown Durham. It was very impressive and inspiring and I'm hoping to share more pictures with you this week. I fell in love with these newel posts (the original and two replicas) and decided to use this shot for my Souvenir Foto School Day 3 picture.

L is for Lucky Strike

I walk by this tower every single day on the way to and from work and have never once stopped to take a picture. This was taken from the top of the parking deck at sunset.

While it doesn't exactly fit my self-imposed "love" theme (I definitely do not love Lucky Strikes), I do love where I work and am lucky to have this view every day.
