Welcome

My name is Lori. This is my photography blog. I still have a day job while I pursue my photography business. I am flexing my creative muscles by pursuing a Project 52. I will post something that tickles my fancy each and every week of 2012. I hope you follow along and enjoy viewing my perspective, as seen through my camera lense. Happy 2012!

29/365 ~ Make Believe

004

Our little girl can get lost in her make believe play. 
It is so cute to be a fly on the wall and listen. 
She totally loves romance and has since she could verbalize.
I hope that whomever she chooses to love will indulge this side of her...she will need it.

27/365 ~ Ball of Fire

photo(7)

I was driving home and saw this sight on the highway. 
The sun actually looked like it was a ball of fire that had taken out a part of the bridge...
a total optical illusion but too cool not to take the Iphone and shoot. 

Love rocking my Iphone!

26/365 ~ Welcome Home!

004

I came home to 2 of my 3 children (the 3rd is married and doesn't live with me anymore ;-) greeting me with
a boisterous "Welcome Home!!" and this beautiful sight:

The impromptu gift of an art gallery set up by the front door just for me!

Lucky Mama!

11/365 ~ Lucky ladybug

photo(2)

This little good luck charm has tinkled beneath my rear view for almost 6 years; since the day that we submitted our dossier to China for 
Katie Starr. 
Pam, the wonderful women who assisted us in compiling that massive portfolio which contained our life story and then some, sent this lovely ladybug to us as a congratulatory gift and told me to think of our little girl all the way in China every time I heard it's melodic tinkle.
Now, all these years later, it makes me think of the stroke of good luck that I have had three times over. Justin, Katie Starr and Ethan; because of them, lady luck shines on my every day.

10/365 ~ Number 4 baby! The Money Key!

photo

Here is an illustration via the Iphone and mobile Photoshop of why the 
number 4 key is the $$ key!
After a full day of work I ran to Weight Watchers with the DD in tow. First week on WW and a loss of 4 pounds...I will take it! 
Came home immediately and reported my 4 pound reduction to my facebook weight loss group via the $$ key!

4/365 ~ Vision of Christmas Past

008

As I was driving home from work my wheels began to turn about what my pic of the day would be. I prayed that I would get home while there was still enough natural light to get my picture. I ran into the house, kissed the kids and the husband, grabbed my camera and ran out to get it. This struck me as funny and a little sad when I pulled into my neighborhood and saw this group of deflated subjects laying on the grass just waiting to be put back up in the attic for another year. I am not sure that this was the best angle but the camera made my mind up for me because unbeknownst to me, the camera battery was dying fast.....and poof...it was done and the camera turned off. Decision made...this would have to be the best angle!

Reduce 30 pounds by the time that I turn 50 on April 24th.  
This is on my fridge and beginning tomorrow it is my mantra.  

The other mantra would be;
50 and fab, not 50 and frumpy!

We are a decorating kind of family. Each and every holiday is accompanied by decorations. Sadly, our Hanukkah decorations are still partially up just in time for the New Year decorations to be taken down.

I wish you a happy, healthy, prosperous and creative New Year. I am doing my level best to work on all four beginning day ONE!

Cheers!
