Project 52 – Beginings // and 365 review

This week’s project 52 is on the subject of beginnings. My subject of choice is none other than Yarnell’s. I’ve never known too much about this fine Searcy ice cream company until I moved to Arkansas. I don’t even know how much I like their ice cream. I’m loyal to Yarnell’s because their factory is right across the road from our house. Their short story: Yarnell’s was way in debt, banks foreclosed, everything was auctioned, a different company bought them out and will be reopening the plant under the name of… you guessed it, Yarnell’s. This is their new beginning.

Enough talk about ice cream. :) The photo…

Good luck to them.

In the spirit of concurring photography projects, here’s checking up on my 365 project:

It’s been hard taking a picture every single day, I admit it. There are times when there’s so much going on and I don’t even have to think about taking pictures, but when it’s cold and nothing too exciting is happening, it’s not always easy. Some pictures I like more than others–to put it lightly. :)

Pictures are posted regularly at the 365 album on Facebook, but here are a few of my recent favorites:

My family brought in the new year singing and praying. God is good. :)

This is an outtake of a 365 picture, but I like it. Driving through the snow.

2011 Year In Review

Looking through all the pictures from 2011 is a crazy thing for me. It reminds me of how awesome God is, how blessed I am in life, and how relationships are everything. In just one short year, my photography has changed a bit, I write differently, and so much has happened in my life. It’s great and it’s scary, but I love it so much.

With so much in life changing, God’s grace is always the same.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven
Ecclesiastes 3:1

project 52 – 12

This is my Freaky Friday rendition of the theme this week for project 52. Cue epic music.

My thought process for the theme (12) for this photo-of-the-week thing was that 12 is a dozen -> eggs come in the dozen -> I like the band Explosions in the Sky -> why not make a super corny spoof? -> why not do Eggsplotions In The Sky!?

So…here it is: Eggsplosions in the Sky. Unfortunately, eggs were harmed in the making of this picture.

Here is the behind the scenes picture. ~6 pictures blended together, some eggs, some milk, an assistant, a flash, long exposure, and ~25 layers in photoshop.

Be sure to check out the rest of the less-crazy interpretations of ’12.’ Here is (the wonderful) Cheryl’s version. Cheryl is part of the talented team known as Zoe Portrait Art.

Perspectives Two

Sydney and Justin were nice enough to walk around campus with me to try out some cool shots. It was a blast hanging out with these two–and I like how everything turned out. :-)

After a few of these photos, a teacher walks by and makes a comment about this being a good way to relieve stress. Didn’t notice me taking pictures. haha…this is stress relief at it’s finest. :)

Until next time,
