Even though the blog isn't updated yet, the Flickr set is up to date (I haven't taken today's shot yet): Project 365: 2011 Continue reading

I'm ready to catch up! I just have to get the photos from January 29-February 4 out of the camera and into the blog. Well, except for these, which had to get out there so family in Honolulu could laugh and point at the one who was dumb enough to... Continue reading

I never did get my act together for the DPS Food assignment, but that is a great post from Pioneer Woman - thanks for sharing!

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/28: Freya says "no photos tonight" — she's in a bit of a diva-ish mood. So I'm resorting to this shot from early this morning. The first thing I noticed when I took the dogs outside at around 7:30am... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/27: Axel once again attempts to take over the photo session and the couch. For an AKC Champion with a "look at meeeeeeeeeeeeee!" attitude, he sure is not very photogenic much of the time. Freya is demanding equal time,... Continue reading

You know something funny? This situation where there was just one car in the perfect position has not repeated itself this week, morning or evening. That was definitely a lucky shot.

Lighting is a real issue in my house, for life and photography both. So I am thinking you are probably right!

Click the photo to see the full-sized version on Flickr. Project 365/26: This is life, not art. It's my actual dinner. Dan makes a very tasty chili. I know most people here in the vast midwestern wasteland eat chili with crackers or macaroni or cornbread. Being Asian and from Hawaii,... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/25: Axel started out being very suspicious of the DSLR. Now I think he is just a bit bored. Or possibly annoyed because my photographic experiments made him look prematurely grey. I need to work on getting some better... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/24: I'm going to use this as my first attempt at one of Digital Photography School's Weekly Assignments. The assignment is "Spot of Color" and the requirement is a shot that has one area with brighter color that draws... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/23: I spent the day working on some time-consuming print projects for a dog club I'm involved with. I am definitely guilty of spending too much time on that, and not enough time with the actual resident dogs, or... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/22: When the temperature outside struggles to stay above the single digits, the dogs get cabin fever and seem to have forgotten every obedience command they've ever learned. In two languages, no less. That's when I'm glad for Rottweiler... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/21: On Day 18's post, I remarked on Axel's resemblance to "The Dog" bobblehead. So I thought it would make a cute picture to have Axel go nose to nose with one of my Rottweiler bobbleheads. Not happening. The... Continue reading

I just ordered a tripod with my credit card rewards points and it's supposed to be here next week! And yes, the Energizer bunny's drum would be right where my Japanese rabbit is pounding mochi! Mochi is a rice cake made by pounding sticky rice with a mortar and pestle (or now, more likely an electric machine).

He looks like one of those "The Dog" bobbleheads, doesn't he? I should take a picture of him with one of them :)

DSCN0465c, originally uploaded by vomviersen. I'm trying this tonight with "Blog this photo" from within Flickr. Let's see how this works! Edited from TypePad to add: Forgot to add my fine print: Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Nikon Coolpix S51 Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/19: I've been playing around with night shots quite a lot, mostly because of when my free time falls. I need to do a lot more playing and reading because I still don't really know what I'm doing. I'm... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/18: I really do want more dog photos. Not necessarily disembodied paws like we see on the left side, but Freya always makes herself known somehow. I'm trying to get Axel more accustomed to posing. You would think that... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/17: I want some good photos of the dogs. This is probably not one of them. But Freya is having such fun playing with her plushie buffalo. Or more likely, her big smile is because she is successfully keeping... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/16: Today I just want to show you all one of my new toys. It's a practice amp that looks just like its full-sized counterpart. It's very, very small. See? Lesson for the day: it's harder than I thought... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/15: Here's my first try at shooting the moon (heh). I definitely should have used a longer lens and a better way to steady the camera. My goal is to eventually get a good "tsuki no usagi" photo. Ummm,... Continue reading

Click the photo to see the full-size version on Flickr. Project 365/13: I am a little bit obsessed with icicles as instruments of death, thanks to an episode of CSI: NY and one of CSI: Miami. While we have had serious injuries and even deaths in downtown Chicago due to... Continue reading
