Project 52 Week 4: Survival of the Fittest

On January 29, 2012June 20, 2012 By LindyIn architecture, nature, photography

We passed by lots of open fields driving to Topeka, Kansas this weekend, as I’m sure you can imagine. I’d seen this silo with a tree growing out of it several times in the past, so I had big plans to stop and take photos. I finally decided to tell my husband about these plans after we got on the road. I guess he’s used to my odd photography requests by now, because he didn’t think twice about it. When we approached the silo, he graciously pulled off the highway and even trudged through a dead corn field with me. I seem to pick the coldest, windiest days to take photos, and Saturday was no exception. But I think the end result was worth it.

A tree growing out of a silo is truly a sign of survival. It’s always interesting to see where trees will grow.

Day 365: A New Year’s Resolution

On January 1, 2012 By LindyIn photography2 Comments

We spent New Year’s Eve at a house filled with friends. I love hanging out with my friend Mandy, especially when she has her camera out and I’m not the only photographer saying, “Wait, that’s too dark. Let’s try again.”

Three hundred and sixty-five days ago I made a resolution to take a good photo every single day for an entire year. The “good” part is subjective, and some photos were definitely better than others, but I never skipped a day. I’m happy to present to you the final photo of my 365 Day Photography Project.

I love taking photos of people taking photos. This is my good friend Mandy on New Year's Eve.

Day 364: The End is Only the Beginning

On December 31, 2011 By LindyIn photography

This photo represents the finale of my 365 Day Photography project. It may be a cemetery, but I don’t mean it to be negative; I believe in life after death. The end of this phase is only the beginning of another. I have learned so much about photography, blogging, and myself over this past year, and I know my photography skills will only continue to grow in 2012. Tomorrow will be my last daily photo before I head into a Project 52 for 2012. Happy New Year!

The sun sets on a nearby cemetary. The end of one chapter is only the beginning of another.
