2, 3, 4, 5, 6/52

Soooo, the 52 project, do you remember me mentioning that?  One picture a week for a year.  It's been 8 weeks and I have "4" pictures.  I'm not doing so well.  I don't remember to use my actual camera.  I can easily get my iphone out of my bag or back pocket, but people would probably choke on their starbucks if I randomly pulled my big ole camera out at the store or some-such-place to take a snapshot.  All 4 kids love to be photographed, however, Finn winds up being my main subject.  One, because he's so stinking cute.  Two, he's around.  Constantly.  I need to be more intentional about photographing all of the kids.

While I work on that, here's some shots over the last couple of months.

Evie is an outfit planner.  And I thought this one with the rolled cuffs and moccasins was super cute.  I was going for a different angle.  Never did accomplish it.  

But thought this goofy smile pose came out ok.

A messy face after a PB&J.

Finn loves those little mandarin oranges.  You know the ones that are super easy to peel?  Well, Finn didn't think they were super easy the other day.  

(This is more than one, but the faces were priceless!)

the 52 project

For Christmas 2012 I got a "fancy" camera.  An awesome Canon Rebel and I told myself I was really going to get off the auto settings in 2013 and learn how to shoot in manual, but alas, it didn't happen.  I mean, I definitely learned more than I had previously known, but the auto settings are still my best friend.

So at the beginning of this year I seriously put some thought into joining the 365 project.  A picture a day for a year.  Then I remembered that I don't always get my teeth brushed or a shower every day and making sure I got my big camera out every. single. day. seemed overwhelming.

Then I stumbled upon a hashtag on Instagram for the 52 project.  A photo a week for a year.  Much better.

I'm already behind, but it's ok.  I missed the very first week of the year, but got a shot in last week and will try and make up for my slacker tendencies this week with 2 pictures.  So much pressure...

Anyway, here is my first shot- a Texas road on a foggy day.  (Don't worry mom and dad.  I checked both ways for cars before I stood in the middle of the road.)
