Day #30 Photography Challenge

Self Portrait

This might be my favorite picture of myself ever.  Yay Warrior Dash!

Day #29 Photography Challenge

Black and white.

I'm totally stealing Bebe's idea since I don't have any black and white photos.

He's black and white, and he's a cutie.  So I don't think you'll mind.

Day #28 Photography Challenge

Flowers

My dad sent me these for my 21st birthday.  Roses are my favorite flower, and these are my favorite type.

Day #27 Photography Challenge

From a distance.

I'm a little embarassed to admit that I'm never been to the statue of liberty.  But here she is from a distance.

Photography Challenge Days #25 - 26

#25 Something pink

Right after my very first 5K!  Stretching it out while enjoying my complimentary finisher's beer.  One of the perks of running a brewery sponsored race.  I ran with a whole team, and we had these extremely bright shirts so we could find each other easily.  I have to say, it was great motivation to be able to look into the crowd, see your teammates, and have a set location to run towards.


#26 Close up

Murphy is such a little ham.

Photography Challenge Day #22-24

#22 Hands

#23 Sunflare

This picture happened shortly after Day #7 Fruit's picture.  It takes a surprising amount of effort to get squished grapes off your feet.


#24 Animals

Go ahead, Awww if you want to.

Day #21 Photography Challenge

Faceless self-portrait.

White Mountains, October 2008

Day #20 Photography Challenge

Bokeh

I admittedly had no idea what this was.  I guess its using out of focus aspects of a picture to enhance the overall image?  Well, I don't know how to do that.  All my blurriness is accidental.

I think this could qualify.  The blurring wasn't intentional, but I think it works.

Photography Challenge Days #12-19

Blogging fail.  Sorry guys.

I was in NY for a wedding, and there were various complications.  Most notably, Tootsie hurt herself and I was a basket case.  Maybe I'll go into details in another post, but trust me- I was not a pretty sight.

Anyhoo, time to catch up.
#12 Sunset

#13 Yourself with 13 things

Ok, so theres 7, not 13.  And they're not "things" they're men.  Very attractive men.

Cut me some slack!  I went through every picture on my computer and couldn't find any pictures of myself with 13 things.  So I chose this group shot, and hoped you're be too preoccupied by the men of the 2011 NYC firemen's calender to care.  Did it work?

#14 Eyes

Remember this?  I'm happy to report that while they have not yet grown back, they on their way.  Also, I've discovered that eyeliner pencils can do wonders.


#15 Silhouette

Isn't this picture amazing?  This is from my good friends Ray and Ashleigh's wedding, and this was taken by Becca and Mike from Garrone Photography.  They're amazing and I hope I can have them shoot my wedding someday.

#16 Long exposure

No, I did not take this picture either.  I don't even have a camera capable of taking this picture.  This is courtesy of local radio host/amateur photographer Greg Kretschmar.  He's amazing and I wish he would sell his prints!


#17 Technology

My laptop.  It's pretty BA.


#18 Your shoes

Not the one's I'm wearing now (because I'm actually in fuzzy socks), but I wore these this past weekend!


#19 Something orange

Fall in the White Mountains is amazing.

Day #11 Photography Challenge

Something blue

The only thing that could top my Bermuda vacation- the cruise down Alaska's coast that I took summer of '04 with my family.  There was about 20 of us in total and it was a reunion of sorts.  The picture is of my cousin Kelly and I on a shore excursion in Juneau.  We took a helicopter ride to the ice fields and took a picture at the top.  The ice was so blue!  I typically have to point out our very faint shadows before people will believe that this picture is not photoshopped.

Day #10 Photography Challenge

Childhood memory

I was in Select Choir when I was in middle school.  You had to audition, although I don't know if they actually denied anyone.  We worked out butts off for the entire year, and then competed at Hershey park come spring.  This particular year, we *rocked* our selection, placed either first or second (I can't remember) out of 30 something schools and both my friend Andrew and I won Judges Choice awards for our solos.

It's one of my best adolescent memories.

Side note- I hope Andrew never sees this, because he WILL kill me for posting this picture.

Photography Challenge Day #8 and 9

#8- A bad habit

I'd have to say that my biggest bad habit is biting my nails.  But since I don't have a picture of that, I'll go with margaritas.

I like tequila.

#9- Someone you love

There are so many ways I could go with this.  I've been blessed with amazing family and friends who I love very much.  But since this is a photography challenge, I'll go with my favorite picture of someone that I love. 

My dad.  Here he is at my cousin's wedding doing his very best Godfather impersonation.

Day #7 Photography Challenge

Fruit.

This one was kind of hard.  I didn't want to just snap a picture of my fruit bowl, so I scoured my computer.  I guess fruit doesn't capture my interest all that much, because the only picture that's passable is this one:

This is at a local winery, and that's my friend Julie and I squishing grapes with our feet.  That counts, right?

Day #6 Photography Challenge

From a low angle.

Summer 2010, Bermuda.

This was such an amazing vacation.  We cruised to Bermuda, enjoyed the island for a whole 3 days, and then cruised back.  One day, we did a catamaran cruise/snorkel excursion, and this was my view while laying on the cargo net "deck".  The entire day was just perfection.

Day #5 Photography Challenge

From a high angle.

Yankee game!

See?  This is at the old stadium, taken from our seats in the very last row alllll the way at the top.  These tickets made me understand why they're called the nosebleed seats

Despite that, we had a fantastic time and the seat actually worked to our benefit.  The day was a crazy scorcher, and since we were so high up we actually stayed in the shade for the whole game

Day #4 Photography Challenge

Something Green:

That's a Matt Nathanson ticket signed by the man himself.  See that?  He ♥'s me!

I'm actually going to see him TWICE on Saturday!  One is an acoustic set and meet and greet during the day, and the other is the main concert that night at the House of Blues.

It's been a couple of years since I've last seen him and I am beyond excited.  And I'm going with some of my favorite people in the entire world, so it's going to be even better.  Prepare to be bombarded with pictures and lots of gushing come Sunday.

Bonus picture-  Just 'cause we're cute together.

30 Day Photography Challenge

I'm still trying to find my voice with this whole blog things, so in the meantime I'm going to attempt to win you over with some pictures.  Enter the 30 Day Photography Challenge!

Thanks to Bebe and Meagan for the idea!

I'm a little late getting started, so this is me playing catch-up.

Day #1 Self Portrait:

I'm currently in PJs, messy hair, and no makeup.  So here's a self portrait from last summer.  I know.  We're super BA.



Day #2 What you wore today

Well, technically yesterday was Day #2 and I didn't think to take a picture.  But this is almost identical to what I wore

Day #3 Clouds

And now we're up to date.
