First Month Down!

So last month I started a 3-6-5 Photo challenge where I have to take a picture every day for 365 in a row (click here to see my last entry about it).  I also have to write a little blurb about each photo, and post it on the blog I created for it.

Now that I've got one month under my belt with this photo challenge (yeehaw!), I'm getting a pretty good feel of what I'm doing.  Below are the pictures from last month which I posted on my other blog, along with my favorite shot from the month.  Enjoy!

Favorite shot for June:

Family Pizza Night: May Edition

We had pizza night at RoseAnne's house this month, and it was so much fun!  Even though my voice isn't back yet from my illness, I still had fun trying to talk over the pleasant cacophony of the family visiting with one another.  It was potluck, so we all tried to bring something to the dinner.

I brought my car.

Not edible, I know, but then again...I live with Grandma, and she needed a ride, and she brought half the food...so really, my car was quite invaluable.  The food was great, the company even better...and the kids...

Well, we all know I'm a sucker for babies.  They can wrap me around their tiny little pinkies with just one look.  Check out theses gems of my great-niece, Esther.  I SWEAR she was absolutely POSING for these shots.  She would make the faces a split second before the camera clicked, and then demand that I show her how it turned out on the LCD screen!

She's two, by the way.

Self Portraits

I was feeling quite vulnerable and exposed the other day while I was prepping in front of the mirror, so I decided to document the occasion...not sure why I thought it was a good idea, but it's too late now.  

Here's what vulnerable and exposed looks like on me:

Also, here's me trying to hide vulnerable and exposed:

The End

An Expose on my Butt

So I've been going crazy with this new iPod application: ShakeItPhoto.  I'm sure anyone who owns an iPod Touch or iPhone knows about this awesome application already.  For those of you who don't...I'll simply say: Poloroids.

Awesome poloroids:

So, I've been having a blast with this new application, and converting my Yosemite photos to Poloroids like crazy.  I'll post more as I have time, but today I'd like to share the story of "The Expose on my Butt."

Here's how it goes:
Christine and I were on our second day in the great basin of Yosemite...taking an easy hike to the lower Yosemite Falls.  We happened along some old indian caves that we remembered climbing on as children when we used to take this hike, and I decided to take a few pictures in one of the crevices just for fun. 

I tossed my camera to Christine (well, not really...obviously) and ran to the crack (no punn intended) to pose for some pictures...

We laughed and had fun taking turns posing at the rock before moving on our way.  When we got home and I was reviewing the pictures from the trip, here's what I found:

The first picture: ok.  A little cheesy, but ok.  Couple it with the rest, however, and it looks like I'm the poster child for a constipation ad.  But, if nothing else...that last picture seals the deal on my never finding another date for the rest of my life.

Can you see?  How every picture automatically draws your attention to my butt?

That wouldn't be so bad, if I weren't STICKING IT OUT, and clenching my butt cheeks like Jack Black in Nacho Libre.  What was I doing?!?

"Then why are you publishing the photos if you hate them so much?" You might ask.

I'll tell you why.  Because it's DANG FUNNY.  I honked with laughter when I first looked at these shots, and then when I showed Christine, I laughed even louder - practically fell off my chair.  Why should I deny the world so much funniness just because it's slightly humiliating!!
