A Photographic Journey

Still Life & Experimental

Day 261: Origami Dragon


Day 257: Wooden Patterns


Day 254: Playing with IS


Day 243: Warrior Dude

I honestly have no idea who this warrior dude is supposed to be. A-Train likes to have battles with him, though, so he got his pic taken.


Day 239: Center of Smurf Attention

This is what happens when you’re the only female in the group; you become the center of Smurf attention.


Day 235: Fridge Battle

When you have three kids, aged 10 and under, you never know what you’re going to find around the house. Like, for example, a couple of Bakugan Brawlers waging battle on the side of the fridge. Nope, nothing out of the ordinary about that at all.


Day 227: Glowing Alien

I have no idea what this thing is supposed to be. I can’t even remember where A-Train got it, but he wanted me to take a picture of it. Whether it is supposed to be a jellyfish, or a glowing green alien, it still looks pretty cool.


Day 221: Buzz Trapped

Poor Buzz Lightyear. I’m pretty sure he’s been trapped in this glass for a couple of years now. No sign of Sheriff Woody riding to the rescue, either.


Day 215: Ice Cream Surprise

You always have to be careful when your daughter tells you she fixed you a dessert or snack. This ice cream sundae wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. Gotta love Play-Doh.

Day 202: Smile, It’s Raining

With all the crazy heat this summer, even just a few minutes of rainfall is cause for smiles all around.


Day 200: The Big Cheese

If you have not been to Holiday Deli & Ham, stop what you are doing and head there right now. You can order anything you want, as long as it has their pimento cheese on it. My wife made the mistake of making me try it, and now I want to put it on everything. This yummy item is called “The Big Cheese”. Two scoops of the pimento cheese and strips of crispy bacon. Serious yum.


Day 199: Scentsy Lighting

My wife sells Scentsy, so we have a dozen or so warmers lit up all over the house. I really love some of the light patterns that they throw around the rooms.


Day 196: Wooden Eiffel Tower

Maybe one day I’ll actually get to take some shots of the real thing. The smaller version in Vegas would work pretty nicely, as well.


Day 186: Mailbox Post

When you’re doing a 365 Project, you have to dig deep some days to find inspiration and reach for something special.

This was not one of those days. This was one of those “Hey look, that mailbox post looks kinda cool. ” days.


Day 178: Lego Goblin King

If you haven’t seen the new line of Lego board games, you’re missing out. You get to build the board yourself, and can switch it up each time to change the gameplay. My oldest bought this Heroica set with some of his birthday money, and when I saw it sitting out, I decided I had to grab a shot of it.


Day 174: Flower Pens

Writing pens with pink flower tops

I’m not sure where my wife got these pens, but they were sitting on the island begging to have their picture taken, so I did.


Day 172: Origami Horseshoe Crab

Grandma sent my oldest an origami book with designs using dollar bills. This was one of the first ones he did.
