Take a Picture - Day 177 - Looking Up

We recently hung up this new drum shade chandelier with crystal strands hanging down from it at work and it's really pretty but I loved the view and perspective of it looking up it from the bottom and seeing all the crystal strands coming at you!

Looking up at fixture with shade!

Take a Picture - Day 176 - Stock it up

Yes folks my photo of the day is of my baby stock pile (in the upstairs attic area), but I am proud of it!  Its not as extreme as those that are shown on Extreme Couponing on TLC, but hey its a start!

I couldn't resist the sale that my grocery store (pathmark) has this week canned vegetables for only .39 cents (limit 12!).  Along with the cans of veggies is my large bulk of napkins and paper towels I got from costco!.  I love using coupons and saving money,  I'm a coupon princess!!

Take a Picture - Sunday 6/26/11 Day 173 - Flower Power in Morristown Green

Haven't posted in a few days and wanted to share these photos I took this past sunday when I took a walk around the green in Morristown!  Such vibrant colors to the flowers, but alas due to my lack of green thumb I haven't a clue as to what kinds of flowers these are!

Photos from my yellow Art Exhibit & Reception in Upper Saddle River Library

Here is the link to my facebook photo album to check out the photos!  Enjoy and for those who came out to see me....Thanks!

Take a Picture - Day 169 - Fungus Among Us

Spotted this spouting up in front of our house close to the street, it's just so random and the only one around!

Take a Picture - Saturday 6/18/11 Day 165 - Take a Hike

Highlights from my hiking trip last saturday at the Delaware water Gap, which was nice scenary once you get to the top, but boy didn't realize how steep the hike would be!!  I did feel accomplished and really tired when we were done and saw how high it was!

lack of inspiration

I have to say that lately I have not been feeling inspired to take photos, so my "take a picture a day" project has been falling by the wayside (and I really wanted to kinda try to do everyday in June).  It kinda makes me feel like maybe I'm not that good of a photographer as I think I am, but I think artists or anybody in a creative field goes through this in general.

So I was google lack of inspiration to try to find article or tips on what to do and ran across a blog called lack on inspiration where this girl is also doing a photo a day just like me (she started in March). 

So it was nice to see that other people (besides me and Sabrina) are doing the same thing and trying to be inspired everyday! 

Hopefully my inspiration will come back soon!

interesting artwork of Laura W. McClanahan

I've been staring at this artwork (digital photography) for the past couple of sundays at the electric grill in the hyatt morristown.  Part of it is because it's different shades of blue, green & aqua and also kinda reminds me of when I do my macro upclose & personal shots. 

Finally checked out the artist website and it's pretty cool stuff, although I can't afford it!!

Hope you enjoy it too!

Take a Picture - Day 158 - Let there be new light

I got a new light for my dining room (since I work at a lighting store I can get them at a good price... why not!)  and after having bulb trouble (insert light bulb joke here lol), we finally got it lit.

This is a shot of what we had before.. interragation light

This is way better!!

Take a Picture - Day 156 - Crystalized

Take a Picture - Day 153 - Reflection

Love how the reflection of the water can shows a smiling face to me and also reminds me of the Kool-Aid man.............oh yeah!!

Take a Picture - Day 152 - Neon

Took this picture with my zoom lens from across the street where I was sitting on the bench because I couldn't read what the sign lol  Plus all the colors are pretty together!!

Take a Picture - Day 151 - Green Pond

Was at a friends house last night who lives in that area and their house was a 2 minute walk away from this tiny beach and pond, which reminded me of the beach at Camp of the Woods in Speculator, NY.

Reminds me of COTW

Looking Through JR Lifeguard Chair

Take a Picture - Day 150 - Pause

We were watching TV and Tom hit the pause button and stopped him before he pressed play so I can take a shot, the right end of it looks like a flower, but it's actually the energizer bunny running across the screen!

Take a Picture - Day 149 - book art

Today I confirmed my art reception for my yellow exhibit.  It will be on Saturday June 25 b/w 2-4pm at the Upper Saddle River Library.  Went to the website and saw that they put my photo and infomation on their front page.  Check it out here

Today's photo is giving a little design advice (I do have my degree in interior design as you know) as to making your books on your shelf a work of art onto itself and not just just sitting there on your shelf any old way.   As you can see in the top shelf I lined the books from tallest to shortest and put a mini display of my little miss & mr. books since they are art work themselves.  the middle shelf I put the books in rainbow color order.  While on the bottom shelf made neat piles of my weird nj magazine and piled my bigger books from smallest to largest. 

So try it for yourself and see the difference!!
