week in the life {wednesday}
notes from today:
severely burning one's finger makes it much harder to seek joy in the everyday
somehow joy still appears in the form of her laughter and his silliness and collaboration and quiet truths
holding her when she falls asleep rarely happens anymore, but when it does, it feels like winning the lottery
she can cycle though happy to oh my goodness i am mad mad mad to giggling all in about one minute
i am going to be sad to see this summer end

this week, i am joining in with ali edwards' week in the life project. today, after being deeply inspired by darrah's blog post, i played with the ISO a bit more. i have been shooting on AV for months now and have been adjusting the f-stop and light balance (ahhh...is that what it is called?). i even put the camera on manual for a bit. it.was.a.blast! usually i come up with excuses like "but i am working on a project, i can't play with the settings now!" but that didn't stop me today. it was refreshing. perhaps i knew i needed a distraction from my throbbing finger. burns are no fun at all. can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
(all my week in the life photos, including additional notes, can be seen in this flickr set.)

I am enjoying these photos so much - especially of the biscuits that appear with reassuring regularity!!
As usual, thank you for your thoughts and ideas. I'm really excited too about starting 'Emerge' on Monday :)
what great pictures! sure did cheer me up. thank you for posting. blessings, alane
I love how your life is full of pattern and color! And I appreciate your note re: waiting for the perfect moment to play with the settings. I've been meaning to shoot on AV for years now! but I always have excuses why not to...telling myself that I will play with it when I have more time...that I can't do it yet because I don't want to miss this shot! Anyway, lesson learnt..the time is now..as always. :)
beautiful photos and a lovely capture of your day!
I am hoping that your finger heals very soon! I also feel the waning of the summer and I am sad about it's inevitable end. Along with biscuits I expect to use our new bread knife a greet deal SOON!
