Ok, so I know that I just posted my 365 picture but I just tried the Orton Effect on one of the photos I took today and am very happy with how it turned out. Just wanted to share it with all of you. Have a good night everyone.
Today has been a fairly good day. My mom watched the kids while the wife and I went and did some shopping. I also stopped downtown to take some pictures of the old train bridge. I took my 365 picture there as well as a few others that I think came out decent. I am mulling over ideas for photos for tomorrow since Kyrie will be back in school and I will have a day to myself. Possibly exploring Water Street here in Augusta. There are some great spots down there if you don't mind walking a little bit. I hope that you all have a great day and an even better tomorrow.
I have decided to restart my 365 day self portrait project. I was doing it last year and the move caused me to miss days after completing over 300 days. This year I will be focused and I will complete it! I will not be posting the pictures to Facebook because I often have to re-size them which causes some distortion to the original image. I do hope that you will follow me on here or on my Flickr account. Have a wonderful year everyone and I look forward to your comments and criticisms.
I had to rewire the outlet for the clothes dryer today. I am getting pretty good at this electrical thing though. I have also in the past week replaced the porch light and three receptacles. The wife of course couldn't resist taking a photo of me being "Handy Manny" as my youngest daughter calls it.
We have arrived here in the great state of Maine. It is wonderful to be back home after being away for so long. It appears that we have brought winter along with us. Kyrie is loving the snow and McKenzie keeps the wife and I busy all day while her sister is in school.
I have been trying to find my center the last few days. Things have been hectic but at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is just hard sometimes to remember to take a deep breath and slow down.
Halloween was a success here in the Gay / Fredrickson household. The kids went out and brought back a ton of candy and they only did a few streets. Not too many kids came to the house but the ones who did were all very nice and polite. Rebecca even got a hug from one little girl. The challenge over the next few days is to limit the candy intake so we don't all get a bunch of cavities and stomach aches. I hope that you and your families had a wonderful Halloween!
