Graphic Interface IN Your Face

Before I left on my journey to Switzerland, I posted about how I would be transitioning this blog from strictly photography to including design-oriented posts as well. Having recently finished my (365) Days of Photography and started school again, I figure now is as good of a time as any.

For my graphic interface class, one of the requirements is that we post images and talk about our work and the process of creating it. Also, some random assignments will be seen on here. Should be interesting. Let me know your thoughts. I'm stoked. And you should be too, cause here comes Graphic Interface IN Your Face!

Because some days are just more fun than others.

Well folks, this photograph is officially the last of my (365) Days of Photography journey. It's hard to sum up all that I've learned in the last year. If I had to though, in one sentence, I would say that I have learned that there is a photograph in everything. You don't need to go somewhere exotic or miraculously different than where you live (though, that helps at times), because the shots are all around us all the time; we just have to look for them. Yes, it's true that in our everyday lives some things are more exciting than others, but the photographs are still there. All in all, I'm mostly proud of what I accomplished. It wasn't easy taking a photo a day, especially when school, work, family, church and all of life's other aspects crowd what little free time you have available. I won't lie, there were days that I missed a photo, but I always made sure to make up the photo for that day or photograph what I had originally planned for that day, but maybe was unable to for whatever reason.

I feel a certain relief to not have to constantly be thinking and looking for my "shot of the day," but I also feel a kind of sadness that the challenge has come to it's official end. Thankfully, I think this has taught me to see a shot in everything I do. My eyes see things as if they are looking through a viewfinder now. I love it. Thank you to all who have followed along with me on this journey, both vocally with your comments and talking to me face to face and also silently viewing the images each week. Please keep stopping by the blog. I hope to continuously update it with photos and design work.

WEEK FIFTY TWO:

Monday, August 9
This little bug loves to hide under the covers. It's a bed bug that I don't mind if it gets me though.

Tuesday, August 10
I've become quite used to drawings all over the front and backyard of our home. The other day as I was watching the youngster run wild, I was examining all the chalk drawings on the ground and they made me laugh because they reminded me of some sort of cave art.

Wednesday, August 11
Lines, patterns and shadows.

The Cache County Fair.
A beautiful day at the fair.

Years ago, my friends and I worked a sales job over a summer in NV. We all picked up the same refill mug while we were out. Sadly, mine broke recently. No big deal? Wrong. First off, it was sentimental, and next, it was, well, a refill mug.

Tyler came up for a Logan visit this last weekend and just tuckered himself out. I guess this is the byproduct of a few hours sleep and an 11-mile run. Sorry for snapping the pic Ty, but I couldn't resist.
"Uncle," Tyler is also Cambria's favorite new person. We think she may have her first crush. All we heard all weekend out of her mouth was, "Tyyywer?"

The last day.
About a half hour after I snapped this shot, there was an onslaught of hummingbirds swarming this feeder. I think we counted somewhere around seven or eight. It was amazing. I've never seen anything like it. But alas, this shot is what I wanted to stick with. I love the way the sunlight shines through the thin wing of the hummingbird and makes it almost translucent.

WEEK FIFTY ONE:

Monday, August 2
Hallie's latest. A blanket for baby girl number two.


Tuesday, August 3
My beautiful Freitag card holder. Made from old European bus tarps. Cost effective to make and ever-so-stylish and sturdy.
God bless the Swiss innovation.

Wednesday, August 4
Just another day at the pool.

Thursday, August 5
Guess this door doesn't get much usage, except from the vines that is.

Friday, August 6
Lately in the mornings Cambria has dibs-ed our bed for her personal "reading," time.

Saturday, August 7
Yeah, Cambria wishes this was her breakfast.

Sunday, August 8
Our small little "garden." Tomatoes, peppers and strawberries. It's doing pretty well, when a little someone isn't picking things before they're ready.

WEEK FIFTY:

Monday, July 26
Our pepper plant.
To be honest, the shot didn't work out, so I improvised with some different color and saturation effects. But I still don't like the shot. Ah well, you win some, you lose some.

Tuesday, July 27
I LOVE the lines and design of this building on the USU campus!

Wednesday, July 28
Two portraits. One shot.

Thursday, July 29
This (plus a printer and iPod touch) is what totaling a scooter will get you with the insurance check. Well, plus the cash from selling your old laptop.

Friday, July 30
Our friend Jessica and Hallie and their pregnant tummies. Obviously Hallie is a tad bit farther along :)

Saturday, July 31
Jake and Eli's reception. It was awesome. Great photos, beautiful set up, good music, epic DJ and unbelievable dancing.

Sunday, August 1
She has a slight obsession with corn on the cob. Just kinda.
