Lake Winnipesaukee - Day 19

A view of Lake Winnipesaukee is always bound to take your breath away, and even more so when covered with ice on a chilly evening in January. 

It was freezing out as I walked the beach looking for a good spot from which I could capture my photo, and although my hands were shaking a bit from the cold, I still managed to grab this one.

Enjoy,

Happy Snapping,

Day 18: Winter Wonder Land

Living in New England any season of the year will 

have it's perks, one of my favorites from the 

winter season would be all the snow-covered 

trees and winding roads. This one 

caught my eye as I was driving through 

afternoon and I just had to stop and take a picture. 

Enjoy and Happy Snapping!

Emily :)

One of my favorites...

One of my favorite places in the world; Starbucks <3 

I got this picture tonight on my way home, 

sadly I was late and they had just closed, 

but there's always tomorrow! :)

I bet most of you are gearing up for Sunday 

nights football game, Go Patriots! :)

Happy Snapping,

January 16th, 2014...

Yesterday's picture is now up! 

While drinking the 

last drops from New Years Eve's Apple Cider, 

I was looking into the bottom of the bottle and saw 

this. I thought it was kinda cool. :)

Hope everyone's gearing up for a great weekend,

Happy Snapping,

Emily :)

January 15th, 2014

Well this is 2 days late, but who cares. :-D

These are the paint colors I'm considering for my room; still deciding, but can't wait until I can paint my new space! 

Happy Snapping!

Day 14 with my little sister...

This is my sister, Celia. I kidnapped her for the 

day to be my little model, and as she's used 

to my crazy shoots, I thought it'd be nice to add 

her to this project.

Day 14 is complete and now I have more wonderful 

photos of my buddy :)

It's rainy in my part of the world, but where ever 

you are I hope you're having a great day!

Happy Snapping,

Emily :)

Day 13...

Day 13 was a long one since I'm sick with the flu and wasn't really able to go too far. That meant I'd have 

to get creative around my apartment. It was a 

nice little challenge and a change of pace. 

Enjoy and Happy Snapping :)

Sunrise from day 12 :)

As you can see, the sunrise from this morning was 

absolutely amazing. Really though, talk 

about being in the right place at the right time. 

I took this on my way 

home from a friends house. This view 

from the bridge leaving Governors Island is always 

magnificent and today was no exception.

Sorry for the delay in posting yesterdays picture, 

I seem to have caught the flu and was

unable to get on the computer last night. 

Hope you all had a wonderful day,

Happy Snapping! 

Emily :)

Muggy day 11...

Day 11 has been cold and wet, but here it is.

This picture was taken at the dock next to my house and let me say it was a slippery walk from my back porch to this spot, but I'm glad I went out and got this shot despite the rain :)

Someone send the sun my way :)

Happy Snapping!

Emily :)

Day 10...and so yummy :)

Day 10 and so very tasty! Let me just 

start by saying that tiramisu is my absolute 

favorite desert, so when I came home to find some 

in my fridge this afternoon...well let's 

just say I may have cheated on my diet a bit :)))

I was about to take a bite when I realized that 

this would be a perfect picture for day 10! 

So here it is...enjoy ;)

Happy Snappppping :)

Emily

Day 9....A day late :)

Day 9 complete! Okay, it's a day late, but 

nevertheless; here it is! 

As I sat in my living room yesterday, I realized 

that I hadn't put even one portrait in my project yet! 

(And considering that portrait photography is my 

favorite, I decided it was time 

to change that).

This kid cooperates so nicely and I 

always enjoy dragging him into my shoots. 

Thanks, Mike!

Happy Snapping, everyone!

Emily :)

Chilly Day 8!

Sorry this photo is a day late, as soon as I got 

home from work last night I crashed. Thus failing 

to post my picture for the day!

Without another minutes wait, here it is! My chilly, 

oh so chilly, 5 degrees chilly, photo for day 8!

I sat the camera on the ground, (well actually on a 

store sales flyer so my camera wouldn't get ruined 

from the cold), set it for a longer exposure, and 

this is what I got. You can see a sight streak of 

light running through the middle left from the 

cars moving past. 

It was so cold I wasn't able to stay and play 

with my settings longer; (mostly for fear that 

my fingers would fall off). I do look forward to 

trying this again though, hopefully when 

it's a bit warmer. :)

Stay warm, everyone! 

Happy Snapping!

Emily :) 

Day 7...Food for thought.

What a beautiful thing; this world we 
live in. It's sad to think that we're usually 
too busy to stop and really take it all in. 
As you move through your day tomorrow, remember 
to take a good look around and enjoy every minute. 
Really take some time to appreciate that they've 
all been given another day on this magnificent earth. 
Life is a wonderful thing and we only 
get one. Make it count.

How did YOU take some time today? Did you see something
that you would normally miss?
Comment and tell me about it :)

Happy Snapping,

Emily :)

Day 6....

So today I'm feeling a little bit bored

and amused at the smallest things. Like

putting "lalalaaaaa" in the caption of

this post...I thought was hilarious.

Ask me why...I have no idea.

Here it is. My photo for day 6!

6/360

Who can guess what this is?? The first one 

with the correct answer gets to spend a day with me! 

haha that'd be pretty cool, eh? Lucky duck :) 

I got this picture while playing around some more 

with long-exposure type photography. 
Have you tried long-exposure before? 

How'd it work out? Feel free to send me a picture, 

I'd love to see your work! 

I hope you're all doing well!

Happy Snapping,
Emily :)

Day 5 :)

5/361

My picture for day number 5 is very different from 

my usual work. Today as I was on my way to church, 

I got to witness this little act of kindness 

in my small town of Belmont. 

As the van was backing out of its driveway, 

it stalled right in the middle of the street. 

This car ahead stopped and the man jumped out to help. 

Not a minute later a few more bystanders came running 

out of their homes to help push the car safely to the 

side of the road.  

It's the small things like this, that truly show us that 

there is still a lot of good left on this earth.

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends and is ready to 

start another great week!

Happy Snapping,

Emily :)

Day 4; Learning to see through new eyes...

As I sat here tonight cuddling with my puppy after a 

long day, I began thinking about this project and how 

I'm learning to look at things from a different 

perspective. Not a minute later

I just happened to glace 

down at my coffee table and this idea 

popped into my mind. :) Enjoy!

4/362

Next time you're "bored", try looking at the 

things you're used to in

a new way. You'd be surprised all the beautiful 

sitting around

 that you miss on a daily basis. 

Hope you're all enjoying the snow!

Happy Snapping!

Emily :)

Here's my chilly work from day 3!

Today can only truly be described by 

one word; FREEZING.

I took this photo in the late afternoon 

when the temperature out was 

a frigid 3 degrees.

   3/363

Absolutely the coldest day in a very long time.

This picture is a perfect testament of

today in the sense that it 

shows of Jack Frosts handy work.

Nice job today, Jack. Well played.

The only thing I have left to say for now 

is that I hope you and yours managed to 

stay warm and toasty today,

and will remain that way throughtout

this cold, (too cold) winter.

Wishing you all the best.

Happy Snapping!

Emily :)

Day 2 of 365 :)

 

Today was crazy in the sense that unlike 

most times I do a shoot,

when the subject is usually either 

someone who can sit still, or a mountain

which is already pretty good and steady....

I should have known as I was bribing my 

2 year-old puppy with his favorite treat, it was 

going to get interesting. 

Meet my favorite four-legged little pup, Charlie! 

2/364

After an hour of chasing him around the house and feeding him about 10 peppermint candies...he finally

laid down and was beginning to cooperate.

Although he isn't looking, I adore how this
picture looks. For me, there are

two reasons in particular I love this. 

One, it portrays the Charlie I know and love. He's such 

a hyper little guy, always looking 

around for the next bit of trouble to get

 into or someone to play with;

 never sitting in one spot for long, (unless he's sleeping). 

:) And two, it brings me right back to the 

reason I started this project

and why I love photography so much.

I love to capture those moments that we miss much too 

often due to our busy lives. The moments 

that make us stop and realize what 

a truly beautiful world we live in. All those 

beautiful awe inspiring moments that too often
pass us by, none of which should
go unnoticed a second longer.

I truly hope you enjoy reading this blog, as I am very 
much enjoying 

creating it to share with you all.

Happy Snapping!

PS:

Here's a peak of another project I was working on today:

Just a bit of fun with long-exposure and my iPhone flashlight :)

Day one of my 365 Project complete!

1/365
January 1st, 2014

This photo was taking at sunrise on Lake Winnisquam 
in New Hampshire. 
For my first day on this year-long journey, I 
really threw myself into it.
I woke up bright and early, went trucking through 
the snow then sat and waited 
for my perfect moment.
Even though it was a chilly 5 degrees out there, 
it was really beautiful watching 
the sun peak up over the trees and onto the lake. 
What a perfect way to start my Project. 


What does this picture look like to YOU at first glance? 
Thinking about starting your own Project and need some help?
Feel free to comment. 

Happy Snapping!
