Random Photo Catch-up Post 1

I had a plan for how I wanted to give these photos to you, but now that it's been well over a month, I don't even care anymore. So these are some of the challenge photos I haven't posted yet. Sorry for the odd array. lol

The Anticlimactic Return

I've finally edited my blog photos from the past 21 days now that I'm home in Ohio, so here they are. Note, I was without both of my cameras for three separate days, so I do not have photos for those days. On the other hand, there are far more than 21 photos here, so I hope you don't get as tired of looking at them as I am! Lol.

July 3 and 4:
was at my mother's house, so I photographed some of her products. she loves working with glass

Unfinished mosaic table

Candy dish

July 5:
my first ever Railcats game with my awesome friend Liz!

Obviously used the crappy lil Cybershot. lol

July 6 and 7:
went to my uncle and aunt's lakehouse in Michigan. it was amazing.

July 8: forgot silver camera at the lakehouse, forgot nikon in my aunt's car. :(

July 9:
got the nikon back from my aunt, and then we visited a couple of the babies in the family.

July 10:

took some last-minute family portraits of my cousins. shoot seriously only lasted a few minutes, but they were so great. Love those cousins of mine.

July 11:

happy birthday, Aunt Linda and cousin Geri! otherwise, had a beach shoot with the Best family (no, i'm not playing favorites. their name is Best. :D).

July 12 and 13:

generic flower photo days. I'm fairly certain I went to Deep River Water Park one of those days, but I didn't take my cams there for fear of being robbed lol

July 14:

went to my cousin Geri's house with... well, more of my cousins (i'm latin. you'll get used to the million cousin thing LOL) to swim. such lazy little ones!

Ziggy lounging under the table

Juliana doing the same

Gabriella taking a break

Anissa taking a tan.

Obviously, I've started to get bored with plain old editing. Luckily Geri had these lawn ornaments to fulfill my need to play.

July 15:

photoshoot with a new girl named Brandy. she was such a sweetie. :)

July 16:

my cousin Travis's open house. cheers, TJ!

Admiring this boy's freckles while he watched the other children splash about in the pool.

July 17:

left Gary that afternoon.

Thanks for the fun, Aunty Angie.

July 18 and 19:

both cams were packed away while we were exploring Lafayette (namely, while we were looking at homes and finding the good restaurants lol). didn't want anything happening to them while we were at the hotels. no pics for these two days

July 20:

home sweet home! creepy little statues greeted us.

July 21:

very sleepy day. didn't feel like being fancy so snapped the butterflies and went back to my lounging. lol

Yesterday and today:

apartment hunting in Athens. turned out only to discourage me more than i even expected, and now I'm pretty much just at a loss. no idea what i'm doing anymore. on the plus side, i found a really creepy plant to take a pic of, and came across a little statue that's just like one Geri has. it was rather exciting to see.

Pardon my blowouts. Exposing for the shadow doesn't do the highlights any good!

Now that we're all caught up on 21 days (3 of which I will tack on to the end of the year, I assure you), I'm heading to bed. Goodnight, sweethearts!

Prettyful Things

Thursday's post did not include Thursday's actual photo since I was going to visit Sandra's that evening. Of COURSE I took photos there! It was fun playing around, even if we did get eaten by mosquitoes in the process. :D

Friday, July 1:
It was a lazy day, and I didn't feel like working with my Nikon, so I just grabbed the Sony Cybershot and attempted to take pictures in the living room. Crappy idea that led to crappy photos, but honestly I just didn't care. It was such a "meh" day.

Geometry

Saturday, July 2:
Photoshoot early in the morning with the Bow Knows Best people again. It was a lot of fun, even if the children begged to differ. :) They were so adorable!

Again, I am not posting today's photo right now. I'd like to see where today takes me.

Insert Interesting Title Here

Yep, that's about how I feel today. ^  Thought I'd post the photos from the past 5 days, but not today's since the day has yet to start.

Saturday, June 25:
Just as I thought, the photoshoot was cancelled. No, not cancelled. She just never bothered to contact me at all even though I saw her the night before. I was extremely angry, especially considering she had been the one rushing me. Needless to say, I will not be agreeing to any more shoots with that girl. Instead, I just took a snapshot of one of the bearded dragons in Renee's bedroom.

Sunday, June 26th:
Took a nice, relaxing photo of a bottle in the living room. Was supposed to meet up with a bunch of friends at the bar that night, but barely anyone bothered to show up, so I just enjoyed my time with the few friends that came. They were so sweet to have bothered coming out on a Sunday night. Love them to death. :)

Monday, June 27th:
Camera didn't want to work for me so I spent some time cleaning it out as best I could. When I get back home to Ohio, I will send it to be properly cleaned right away. In the meantime, I did manage to catch one okayish shot. Dang moth scared the mess out of me. Flew right in my face! hahaha

Tuesday, June 28th:
Had my second photoshoot with Tremont Turner, and we had a blast! Ran around Broadway (the same street the City Methodist church is just off of) taking photos by old burnt down homes, abandoned buildings, and alleys. Here is one of my favorite shots for the day.

Wednesday, June 29th:
My first big flop of a photoshoot. I had checked my batteries the night before, and all three said 2 out of three bars, so I didn't bother to charge them any more. I mean, 2/3 battery life in 3 batteries should have been plenty! But no. When I was checking the lighting in the park we were supposed to shoot at, the battery life of all three shot down to one bar immediately. :( However, the client had also forgotten most of her products, so we just photographed what was there and are rescheduling for a morning instead for better lighting and weather. :)
