A ton of new photos are over at Picture Yourself – we will hit 600 entries probably by Monday!
New soaps are underway now too, almost ready to be packed up and shipped out. Need soap? Remember … it’s like “Save Karyn” but you actually get something in return!
Now it’s time to get ready to go out for dinner – it’s my Mom’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!
Normally I approve photos for Picture Yourself daily, but when we hit the 500 mark and then with the events of last week – I’ve fallen behind. But I’m not temping today, and I’ve done all I can on the job hunt front for the moment, so I just went in and approved 30+ new photos for the project and there are more to come! I also needed to respond to an e-mail about the project and needed to find links to some of the best photos submitted to date – so I went through every entry from #500 back to #1. Wow. It was a blast to look through them all – it’s so wonderful to see the faces behind the internet!
I should have my e-mail restored by tonight, and then I can post the missing photos from #506 – #510 – the special photos submitted for the 500 mark that still remain. I can’t wait – they are some great shots!
I did it again this weekend. I was trying to take a picture of myself on the top of the Lexington in front of one of the planes, and someone came over quickly to offer to take my photo for me. I told her no, but this time I had a URL to give out to explain why I was taking a shot of myself! She thought it was so great that she stopped and wrote it down – hopefully we will see some photos of her soon!
Thank you again to everyone for all of your support – we’ll be hitting 1000 entries before we even know it. I am looking forward to seeing how all of you PictureYourself!
I just snapped 20 pictures for Rannie’s film exchange without ever leaving my living room or patio. I think I got some really good shots too – after using digital so much lately, it’s interesting to use film and not have the preview option. You have to trust your instincts, which is a great lesson for good photography. Learn to look around you – you never know what you might find. Don’t be afraid to lay on the ground or stand on a chair – whatever you need to do to get the shot.
Speaking of getting an interesting shot, check out what you get when you combine a pinhole camera with the inside of your mouth. Amazing! [via Chris]
I’m so excited! I just got news from tyd that the film for Rannie’s Film Exchange Project is in route to my house! I have to finish shooting my roll still over Thanksgiving vacation and then mine will be on it’s way too!
More great news – I just discovered that my boss was going to sell on eBay his hardback set of the Lord of the Rings. I have been looking at the nice hardback set for awhile, but never got one – so it’s a win-win situation for us! I get the books, he doesn’t have to pay listing fees and deal with shipping, all he really does is put these Shipping Labels on the packages, and now we’re all happy!
As we get closer & closer to the 500 mark, Ed K. has submitted what has to be the most “real” photo to Picture Yourself. You can view it right here.
