Beach Trip

Last week we went to the beach.

This was Nate's first trip to the beach and he loved it.  

It was like some sort of giant salty pool and sandbox to him.

We also saw turtles...

 and plenty of seagulls!

This a picture from the same beach...

7 years ago and now.

Anyways.. wanted to post about that before I forgot. =] 

Bye!

Photos with the flowers...

 Today I went out and decided.. 

to pick a random flower..

and take pictures with it! haha

The following are the ones that turned out the best... (in my opinion.)

This next type of photo is kind of new to me...

I've never really taken a picture of just my eyes like that.

I think it will be my self portrait of the day though. haha

Or this one... ;P

Painting

Today we finished painting Isaac's room...

... yeah it got pretty messy.
 

Actually, not quite that bad. 

Plus it's not really those colors but it looks pretty good. ;P

Also made this today...

I used some of the chalkboard paint used on Isaac's walls..

and an old mason jar..

and got this!

Really like how it turned out. =]

Camouflage... (Day 4)

Camouflage?

 

Yeah.. I think I have a good start on it. ;P

Super Powers

Its day three of the portrait project...

I decided to do something with "super powers."

This is what was created because of it...

Told you I would do something with the green light. ;P

I wish I had done it a little differently..

but... I still like it a lot. haha

Anyways.. good night!

P.S. All the photos are mine except for the background...

Song of Storms

I was practicing my viola when all of a sudden...

it started to rain.

This made me think of "Song of Storms" off of Zelda...

which made me want to learn it on viola.

(That didn't get very far...)

Then I remembered my portrait project ... 

and just had to do something involving the rain and the viola. ;P 

This is how it turned out...

 

So the story is... 

I was playing "Song of Storms" on my viola...

and made it rain! 

Not really... but it's fun to think. 

(By the way, I did NOT take my viola out into the rain.... this is photo shopped. haha)

And if you don't know what I'm talking about with the Zelda thing...

Here's a link! 

 

30 Days of Self Portraits?

I think I'm going try a project where you make a self portrait

everyday... for 30 days.

I'll see how long this will last due to the fact 

that I also have my 365 days project where I make something everyday going on. 

(On day 140!)

 Anyways... this is today's picture.

Also... I just got back from the beach! 

Will have pictures of that posted soon... =]

Cold Summer Day

Today was another cold summer day.

Funny how one day it can be burning up 

 and the next be freezing cold. 

Anyways, I stayed inside today and messed with Gimp. 

(Gimp= Photo editing program)

I learned how to change a persons eye color and made this...

Here is one example of the changing eye color..

 

From this...

...to this.

Not the best example but its the only one that ended up saving.

I think I like the original more though. hehe =]

Painting with Light...

One thing I really like is to "paint" with light.

I think that it is fun to see how they turn out...

because you never really know. 

Late last night I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep...

So I grabbed this light...

and my camera and started "painting" with light.

I would have to say that the green one is my favorite...

mostly because I might use it to make another picture in photoshop...

later. 

This light mostly just made circles and lines...

I think I shall try glow sticks. ;P

These are a couple more that I did a while back.

Six-Word Memoirs

 

So the other day I found this website that does six-word memoirs.

Since then, I have added around eight of my own.

Not sure if I'm doing them the correct way...

I'm mostly just writing random six word sentences.

Most of the sentences have stories that go along with them though. 

Anyways, if you are interested here's a link that will take you to the website...

 http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/

and another one that will take you to my profile.

More than black and white...

Today I messed around with photo shop..

creating pictures that are black and white

with a tiny bit of color. 

This one seemed to turn out the best..

I call it.. The Red Ribbon! Haha

Creative, right?

Anyways, this is the program I used to create it...
