Bellini Portraits » Project 365

In the eye of the beholder.

I am in my car a lot–whether it’s driving to shoots, running errands (going to the grocery store 3 or 4 times a week is not uncommon) or just driving to enjoy my surroundings. I always keep on the look out for interesting things to photograph, making a mental note to come back if I don’t have my camera with me. I am drawn to older places; homes from centuries past, old gas stations, anything abandoned and overgrown with trees and weeds. Not your typical “beauty” but I find that there is just so much character in these places that it’s hard to not find them beautiful. It’s a sharp contrast from what I am normally shooting; happy, beautiful babies, children and families. I’ve also been very bad keeping up with Project 365 but promised myself I wouldn’t beat myself up about it. These shots I will include within my original project. They are from this week during my mom and niece’s visit.

Starting something new…

I can’t quite believe it but I started knitting. Well, let me rephrase that…I started taking classes today with a wonderful woman in Sandwich, MA. I had a one on one this afternoon and I actually did pretty well! I was nervous to start just because I felt sort of clumsy and I know myself and can get aggrevated really quickly if something doesn’t happen as easily and fast as I expect it to. But, I am proud to say by the end of the hour I was zipping along. I am looking forward to getting warm and cozy on the couch tonight and getting some more done on my soon-to-be scarf. I should actually be editing but for tonight I think I’ll take some “me” time. I’ve been to Sandwich before for photo shoots and it’s such a pretty town. I absolutely love the 1000 foot boardwalk and decided to drive by since it was just around the corner from her office. I was surprised to see other cars there since it was only about 18 degrees today (ugh!!!) but it is such a tranquil spot, I guess it’s not so surprising that people find joy in going even during the winter months. So in keeping up with Project 365, I snapped some photos and froze my fingers all the while.

My son, my heart!

Ok here goes, the first post on my brand spankin’ new blog. I feel like I was just doing this but that was already 5 months ago when I started the “old” blog. Where does the time go? So, to follow in tradition a photo of my son will be my inaugural post. Bear with me, people! I just can’t help myself sometimes. You would think I’d have a child who LoVeS to be in front of the camera but it’s just not true. He won’t look on purpose–always testing mommy! Anyway, this was captured Monday night just before the sun went down. It was taken as part of Project 365; a photo a day for a year.

Project 365 : First 2 Weeks of Images

I'm a little behind, ahem 2 weeks to be exact, in posting my images from Project 365. So as not to be overwhelming I had planned on posting a weeks worth over the weekend. Last weekend I was in Puerto Rico so I didn't get a chance to post. So here are some images, some days are missing (oh the shame!). I've decided to start naming the images and also started adding the day's number to keep track. Enjoy!
