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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
