Picture A Day In February, Where I Slept

February 3rd was "Where You Slept." I thought about making my bed for this shot because that's prettier, but we make our bed about twice a year, so this is more authentic. Plus, John said it was more artistic and since he's the artist, I left it. Isn't John's Grandma's handmade quilt awesome?

Happy Super Bowl Day!

Picture A Day In February, View Out My Window

February 2nd was "View Out Your Window." This is out our front window. An accurate view would have been of my neighbor Theo because he's usually out front checking on the neighborhood and tending to his cactus, but the zoom on my camera isn't big enough. Plus, it's a little creepy to post pictures of your elderly neighbors on the internet without them knowing. :)

Happy Groundhog's Day!

Picture A Day In February, Self Portrait

I always say that I want to improve my photography skills. I don't plan on making a career of it or anything, but I'm always envious when I see people who can take pictures when the camera setting isn't in "Auto." So when I came across a list of things to take pictures of everyday for a month, I decided to do it. It might be fun. And since my husband teaches photography to high schoolers, why can't I learn a few things from him?

So, a picture a day for the month of February. No Photoshop (that's a whole different thing to learn), but just trying to use my camera the best I can.

February 1st was Self Portrait.

For the photographers out there that might care, I'm using our Canon S90 point and shoot. We have a fancy SLR, but I use the Canon more often since it can fit in my purse and that's the camera I'm more interested in learning to use. Baby steps...
