Day 211: Winsome by Missy

winsome copy

so, i wanted to challenge myself... winsome was that challenge. winsome is defined as 'charming in a childlike or naive way; alluring, sweet, irresistible, charismatic' ...
i immediately thought of audrey hepburn...
in NO way shape or form would i ever dare to compare myself to audrey, but i wanted to capture sweet and a sorta classic movie feel with this shot...
i hope that comes across...

my girlfriend and i have a weekly podcast called 'the messy housewives'... messy, you ask? yes. messy is simply a combo of our two names, jess and missy... we really are not dirtbags... we discuss very important topics and play some wicked music... more than anything, it's fun and just another chance for us to be creative...

Day 202: Wool by Missy

wool

this morning i went on a class trip to pomona hall, not 5 minutes from my house... it's the restored home of the cooper family dating back to the early 1700's. i learned a lot. seeing and hearing about the camden of yesterday as opposed to the camden of today, well, it's exciting & heartbreaking all at the same time.
we had the dullest, most disagreeable and abrupt tour guide named pam... after the trip, the kids and i talked about what we saw & i complained about pam... i came to find out she lives next door to one of the students... i felt slightly ashamed, but not really, cause it was true.
the best part of the trip was talking to mercy, a delightful costumed old lady who vividly explained how the kitchen of pomona hall would have operated...
i wanted to take her home as my souvenir...

Day 194: Wash by Em


Some of Missy's pictures have these cool effects. And they're all edited and wonderful. With me, you're lucky if I crop the picture (which I usually do). I don't have the skills, but maybe an "A" for effort?
(At least I have a cute subject to photograph. Washing her foot.)

Day 190: Whistle by Missy

whistle

we have train whistles... we have tin whistles...
we have slide whistles...
and i've worn a fur coat all weekend...

Day 190: Whistle by Em


Sure, she's cute.
Less cute when she's blowing the whistle before 7am.
Thankfully, she can't yet blow at full power, so it's more like air with a tone.

Day 189: Water by Missy

water

even though water was a theme back during august,
it's always fun for me to take a stab at another shot of the same subject....
i love the movement of water...

Day 189: Water by Em


Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of a drop of water falling off the tip of an icicle? Hard But there it is, a big fat drop, hanging off the tip of the left most icicle.

Day 188: White by Missy

white

i met a lovely girl named jen hermann tonight... we discussed our german descent... she is a crafter, a jewelery designer... she talked on the phone to a man named tony... she carried with her a giant snowball... she threw the snowball from a balcony
three stories up while talking to tony...
i managed to document this amazing event...
this is jen and her magnificent snowball...

Day 188: White by Em


Snow is white. So are snowflakes. I DID take this photo on the correct day. In the midst of a 2-day storm that dropped 20 inches of snow on us. Unprecedented in central Virgina

Day 185: Winter by Em


I am not following the "rules" because I really, really think that Missy just needs some company on this blog (Hi Missy! Hi everyone else? Where are you?). I did not take this picture on the correct day, but it just screams "winter" to me!

Day 185: Winter by Missy

2minutes

today is your classic winter day...
not only is it a 'snow sky', but you can smell the snow in the air...
i gave myself two minutes to take as many photos as i could outside and this one was my favie...
it truly depicts winter in my eyes...

Day 184: Window by Missy

window

well. i hope this isn't too presumptuous of me, but since there was no theme on the calendar for today, i went ahead and chose something...
i do hope that this continues...
i want to keep going...

Day 184: Window by Em


Hmmm, I think that perhaps are windows are not all that efficient, as this is the view out our bedroom window most chilly mornings. (Some view, eh?)
