86/365 - MAD, ANGRY, FRUSTRATED!

What a day! I woke up with a food borne illness and felt like crap. I slept much of the day away. We took the dogs to the park. Somehow while transfering all of my photos in for the day this is the only one that didn't get mysteriously deleted! I took many at the park, I also tried light writing. I then entered 82 contacts into my google voice, I entered emails, addresses, phone numbers, merged multiples I had, looked up addresses. Only to have them all get deleted by accident.

This is when I went in the basement and wrote mad with the LED pen. I also wrote angry faces and other things, but they all mysteriously are missing from the camera.

NOT HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

Skippy at Battle Creek dog park.

He decided to walk out on the thin ice. As we are calling him back in he fell in by the weeds (cattails). Steve had to go out and rescue him!

You think he would have learned yesterday when he fell in right by the shore!

Steve ended up with cuts and bruises on his shins and hands!

This is a horrible picture for my 365, but this is the only one I took!! It's with my cell phone camera. We went to an "AUTHENTIC" Irish pub for Saint Patty's day! LOL

Steve has 3 different Slinkys (not sure how to spell that plural). Two large metal ones and a mini metal one. I thought I'd take the opportunity to photo one of them.

2 second shutter speed, with tea light candles. Weather today was cloudy and rainy, so I had to be creative inside.

Playing with light writing. The e is with a string of lights, the star is with my itouch.

64/365 - Trying to light write

My first attempt at light writing ever!
I drew a star at 6 second shutter speed with my itouch. I added a blue cross processing.

Feeling lazy today, and I didn't think I would have anything to photograph. THEN, I decided to play around with the shutter speed and started moving around the camera with a string of lights. This is the final product. I like it.

My first time experimenting with different shutter speeds. I chose to play around with a string of lights. I really like how they turned out!

Coming home from conferences, after a 12 hour day, I had to stop by Target to get rice. Skippy was vomiting. We mixed him a bland diet of white rice and ground turkey. Of course just Skippy couldn't eat it!

60/365 - Marley and Me


60/365 - Marley and Me, originally uploaded by Metro Annie.

This little Havanese, Marley, would not stop following Skippy around the park. He was like the annoying little brother that wanted to be just like Skippy. Marley also had a blast with Mimi!

I couldn't decide if I liked this better in color, with the trees complementing the ground, or black and white. I also like the way the dogs and the guy make up a triangle. I figured out the coolest thing on picknik today; I used the cloning feature and I took a man and replaced it with an area of snow! He was originally in the upper left corner right below the tree! :-)

This is the same picture as the black and white one above.  I think I like it better in black and white. 
What do you think?
