I am not even in the same league with these guys but I've been inspired (as an addicted lurker to their 365 Projects) by Andi Tippie tippiepics and Kate Crafton (http://www.katecrafton.com) to try this out. I am passionate about photography (just ask my two boys who, at 3.5 and 20 months are SICK of me taking their picture! ) I want to learn learn learn as well as take the time to document our lives together as a family. My philosophy is that: life is happening NOW--there are no dress rehearsals--so why not just try it? I want to get more involved in the photo/SmugMug community as well so I thought this may be a good place to get my shy self "out there". I am learning Capture NX and PSE but have no official editing training other than my trusty e books/tutorials and lots of hours logged onto my laptop while the kids are sleeping.
Here goes--my official "Photo Journal". In it I will publish self portraits -in hopes of learning to be more comfortable with the camera myself (see my Blog for more info on that) as well as pictures that I hope for feedback on to improve or learn from. After thinking about it--I don't think I can stand to look at myself in photos for a whole year--yuk! IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: that I do this project for myself and my family--so some days there will be more than one photo if I feel so inclined. I don't want this project to become cumbersome...but I want to use it to document a year in our lives as well as to learn as much as I can from taking various pictures. I value and appreciate any feedback from all of you.

my favorite portrait of today. my heart bursts with love when i get to spend special time with this little guy...which i have been doing these past two days.
we had him evaluated this week because he's behind in talking/communicating. i am a bit worried but hoping that it's not the "A" word. but really, whatever it is--we love him so much and we'll all work together to get through this.
