Photo365+1

Today I'm catching up with Photo365+1. Yes, I am still remembering to take a picture every day (those prompts are a big help!). I'm looking forward to ordering a batch of prints - maybe at the end of February. I don't think I'll be able to hold off much longer than that. Most of the things I probably wouldn't ever have thought of photographing before: but now each picture gives me another story to tell..



9. Water - tenuous? Maybe. But I always end up ironing on a Monday
10. Metallic - I picked out the bell to photograph, then spotted the old street directory I bought in a charity shop. It has an ad for a scrap metal merchant on the spine.
11. Item of clothing - my bag du jour. Could do double duty as "metallic"
12. Translucent - a bag of pine nuts for making pesto.


13. Inside the Fridge - I like to keep chocolate biscuits in the fridge becasue I only really like them when they are cold. I loathe warm, melty chocolate.
14. Guilty Pleasure - CD's I have had for a very long time and still play regularly.
15. Generous - A box of treats sent from friends in San Diego. We are having fun trying out some new delights.
16. Snack - I couldn't resist adding the purple cover of Scrap365 to the picture of my purple wrappered snack bar.


17. Naughty - A pile of scrapbooking stuff I haven't put away.
18. Pleasurable - More scrapbooking - a new Amy Tan daybook from Gotta Craft
19. Something bad for you - A favourite photo. My car. I need to do more walking..
20. A Sign - A junk mail catalogue which made me think. A trip to the museum would be good..

That's it for today. The next set of photos will be "hot". But think more blowtorches than babes..

  12. Looks like we even have the same iron! I love the way different people interpret the same word.
    I was sitting at work drinking a cup of coffee out of my Brad Pitt mug and wondered if I could use that for 'hot'. Hot guy and hot drink - sorted. (decided against it in the end though!)

  14. I thought that box of treats looked rather American - LOL! Thanks for the thought of going to a museum. . . definitely something we haven't done in quite a while.

  22. You've done really well with the daily prompts ... I think I'd like to see more of that old street directory. What are you planning for the prints or am I not allowed to ask?

  36. Some interesting takes on the prompts. I'm only using them on days when I haven't taken a photo of anything else! A few things I noticed that we have in common:ironing on a Monday, keeping chocolate in the fridge and a copy of Brick Lane on the shelf :o)

  37. Oh, Sian, I have loved looking at your photos. Leave it to you and your great eye for composition to come up with some great shots of simple-ordinary-every-day-things. Well done on keeping up with the photo-a-day! xo

    ReplyDelete
  38. I managed about 3 days :-( Well done for keeping up with it and your photos are fab even though they are of everyday things. Maybe I could just do a week or something... ;-)

  39. What a great collection of photo's. Mine are so random, but it will be interesting to see a whole months worth.
    I am thinking of doing a theme for February, Fruit & Veg for Feb maybe?
    I thought I was the only person in the world that will only eat chocolate from the fridge! I also keep hand cream and lipstick in my fridge, how about you?
