NOW what have I gotten myself into?!

By curiousillusion ( December 2, 2009 at 8:41 pm) · Filed under photography, seasons, , ,

So I talked someone into doing NaBloPoMo for December.  And then I talked someone else into it.  And then I started working on someone else before I went “holy crap, if I talk them into it, then *I* have to do it too.”  But I couldn’t seem to let go of the NaBloPoMo website.  And I DID have a good time in November.  So… I’m going for it.  NaBloPoMo Take 2: the December Edition.

Anyway, I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to do NaBloPoMo AND my 24 Days of Christmas picture project together.  I can’t decide if I should post each picture for each day on the blog, or just do a recap of the week’s pictures over the weekend.  Thoughts?

And while I think on that, here’s today’s picture.  And outtakes.

[2/24] - Pretty as a bow?

I’ll admit – this picture didn’t come out how I wanted it to.  But I didn’t have an action plan for it, I just found these mini bows yesterday and knew I could use it for the project.  I’m not thrilled with it though.

Outtake from Dec 2

Outtake #1: I’m not sure the tilt works here.

Day 2 outtake 2 Outtake #2: I think this bow would have looked better on a present, on top of wrapping paper or something.  I may revist this.

So that’s it. Day 2, of NaBloPoMo and 24 Days of Christmas down.  That reminds me though, I need to take pictures of my classroom – I haven’t taken pictures of the decorations and the centers the kids have been working on.  I got really inspired today, things are looking pretty good!  Stay tuned for that… sometime this week. :)

  • Now, THAT is what I call dedication.

    Love your holiday pics.
  • Hee hee, thanks!
  • Love the pictures!!! You almost convinced me to participate. ALMOST. I don't think I have the time. Maybe next year :D
  • Rats, I was so close!
  • I like these pics! Kudos to you for doing NaBloPoMo again! I see no reason why your Christmas photo project can't count as your daily post for NaBloPoMo. No one said it had to be a ton of writing that you're posting. Good luck and I can't wait for the classroom pics! :)
  • Sweet, I'm gonna go for it that way then. Although, when I post pictures I tend to do a ton of writing anyway!
  • Yeah! Glad to read you're doing NaBloPoMo again this month. I love the bow bokeh in the top 2 shots>
  • Aw thanks!
  • We don't own bows because a) I hate wrapping and b) bows just get in the way of unwrapping when you're two or four but... gee... I really like those photos and now I want to go buy some!!
  • Yeah I don't like wrapping either unless it's a box. Awkward shaped things suck to wrap.
  • lovelyinlux
    Holy moly...that's an awfully lofty goal! Good luck! Can't wait to see classroom pictures.
  • Ha ha thanks!
  • Yay! That means 31 more Ari posts this year! :)
  • Yay!
  • ari_b
    Yay!! Good luck!! What camera do you shoot with now?
  • I was shooting with an Olympus Stylus 840. Wicked super macro option it, not bad at all!
  • ronnica
    Yeah, I don't think I'd want to do it in December. I like to get lazy when I'm traveling at the end of the month.

    I like the bow pictures, though!
  • Yeah I can see that. I've got no place to go though so eh... may as well blog!
  • Yay for part 2 of NaBloPoMo can't wait for more post and pictures.

    By the way the pictures do look great.

    xoxo
  • Thank you. :)
  • I can't wait to see your Christmas decorations in your classroom
  • Ack, I still need to take them. I need to get the kids to make things to hang up first...
  • yay! glad to hear that you've signed on for december as well :)
  • Yay thanks!
  • mycognitivedistortion
    Sign me up... I guess....

    And I vote for daily pictures. At least you know you'll have something to write about! It can't be THAT hard to two both at the same time. If anything, save special more thinker posts for the end of the month when the photo portion is over. :o)
  • Yay!

    Yeah, I think I'm going to do daily pictures. Makes my blogging job so much easier!
  • TotallyHeather
    I'm one of those people!!
  • Woohoo!
  • Quave
    Does that mean that I have to comment every day too!? :)
    You just like conning people into doing things, don't you? haha...
    Good luck with your projects. Surely you'll have time... what else is there to do in December!? :)
  • Yup. And yup, I do.

    Ummm... catch up on my tv shows?! I'm so behind now, what with flickr and the blog...
