365 Project - week 32

221/365 - Takapuna beach. This was one of the days I was sick but I just had to get out of the house so I went for a short drive down to the beach and took in the refreshing sea air. I like the little bird I caught in the photo on the bottom right.

222/365 - I thought this pattern on top of the mocha was super cute.

223/365 - I discovered that there is a double exposure function on both of the Android photo apps I have. How exciting!

224/365 - A friend had the day off and went to get deluxe cupcakes. They looked so pretty in the cupcake box (I didn't even know boxes specifically for cupcakes existed!)

225/365 - A cafe that I go to sometimes has extended their premises. The roses looked so pretty in the vase.

226/365 - This is by far my favourite photo of the week. I was taking photos of my first couple of pages for the sketchbook project with my partners awesome Canon 550D camera (18-135mm lense) and Spaz was hovering around keeping a curious eye on what I was doing outside on such a cold day. I managed to snap this fantastic picture of her when she wasn't looking. It is the best photo I have ever taken of her in the 4 years I have had her. I love her so much, she is such a cutie xox

227/365 - Auckland city on the day it "snowed". The wind that day was incredibly strong and oh-so cold!

365 Project - week 31

214/365 - I catch the ferry each morning to get to work and I am always impressed at how many people cycle down to the ferry (instead of driving)

215/365 - It was my dad's birthday on 3rd August so me and Dan went out for dinner with the rest of my family. We went to a cute little Greek restaurant - the food was delicious. This is me and Dan x

216/365 - I'm still loving the shatter nail polish :)

217/365 - Because it is winter here, I very rarely sit out the back of the house but Saturday was pleasant enough to sit out the back for a while. My partner and flatmate love plants (mainly cactus & succulents) so out back "garden" is full of them.

218/365 - Now this plant just totally weirded me out so thought I should take a photo hehe

219/365 - The mess of colour I made whilst making some new art journal pages

220/365 - I got a nice little picture of Spaz last night while she was keeping me company (and warm) as I'm sick at the moment

207/365 - Part of a new piece I'm working on. I discovered that phone books make awesome image transfers :)

208/365 - Drinkies after work with the girls

209/365 - cute little square in Auckland City

210/365 - Eggs Benedict for lunch with my mum on Friday. Was absolutely delicious

211/365 - shatter nail polish

212/365 - my first fishtail braid on my friend Alyssa

213/365 - my favourite soup (winter and summer); bean and pasta with a bit of pesto and mozzarella cheese

365 Project - week 29

Last week I did a post on how my 365 project is going; and it wasn't going too well so I made a plan. Number five on my plan was to do a weekly post of photos and I am staying true to that plan so welcome to the first week of 365 photos.

200/365 - Sals Pizza was for dinner. So delicious

201/365 - I finally got a decent(ish) photo of my wee kitty Spaz. I love her to pieces

202/365 - The most delicious vege club sandwich for lunch.

203/365 - My newest addition to my Doc Marten collection. These are my absolute favourite. You might recognise them from here. I finally found them a few weeks ago in a random little shop and there was one size left in my size in New Zealand. Talk about meant to be!

204/365 - I had a art journal date with my two lovelies on the Saturday gone. We always include a bowl of lollies to nibble on while creating

205/365 - A fantastic mosaic at a cafe Dan and I went to for our Sunday breakfast

206/365 - A mean couch made out of old jeans! Wicked

365 Project Update

I haven't been very good with this project the last few months. My motivation had pretty much gone, but after seeing Ingrid take on the one photo a day for a month challenge here and here; I was re-inspired. It's not that I wasn't taking photos; it was the editing, organising and uploading of them that was the problem. I am quite notorious for not finishing projects and it is something I am very much aware of. However I am refusing to let this become one of those 'never quite finished' projects.

When I was overseas I had a lot of time to plan, think and explore what is important to me with my blog and my art/projects. I came to the conclusion that this is a project I really want to finish. At the end of the year, I want to get a large print of all 365 images and frame it. This is my end goal. If I keep this in my head all the time, it should make it easier to complete.

So I spent most of last night getting right up to date - we are now at day 201 [where has the year gone??] I thought you might like a look at the most recent ones.

My plan to keep going and finish this project:

1. Put a reminder on my phone each day so I don't forget to take a photo.
2. I will be using the camera on my phone for a majority of the photos. My other camera is just too big to take with me to work and home every day and I have enough stuff to carry as it is.
3. To make a list of things to photograph so I don't get stuck for ideas.
4. I have joined the official 365 project group so now I can keep inspired by looking at others photos for each day. I won't be uploading them to this site though, I will keep it on flickr.
5. One day a week, do a blog post of the last 7 days worth of photos.

What projects are you currently working on that you are struggling with?

Have a great Thursday everyone :)
