I came across this today on fat mum slim and have decided to take part, especially since I just got a new iPhone 4S (the camera on this thing is killing my former 3G.  Sidenote: I will be posting a review & compare on the two).  

The 'challenge' is pretty straight forward; follow the poster above and take a photo each day for the month of February.

Will you participate?



I have always used Microsoft Powerpoint to edit my photos so I was shocked to see the mad changes (and improvements) that have come along with the new version (10) I have been given.  There is a super cool function under the (Picture Tools) Format tab.  In there, they have something new called, 'Artistic Effects' where you can modify your photo 22 different ways. 

I, of course, took advantage of this and played around with various photos.  So fun!  Maybe I'm behind on this (I've been using my old version forever, and we all know how pricey Microsoft Office is) but it's new to me and pretty exciting.

Mouse over the photos to see which effect I used on each one (they are all different and there are still so many more to choose from; my fave are the last two).  It'd be kind of cool to use one of these effects to print your own thank-you or greeting cards.

Remember that photoshoot I did in the rain a while back?  Here is the rest of the photos we did, different outfit and locations.

 
 



Seduction jacket (last seen here), Digital lace top, Garage skirt (worn as a top) & 
jeans, unknown belt (worn as a necklace) & Liliana shoes

I did a photoshoot with a photographer friend a few months back which was really great.  We met for breakfast and then did some shooting in various spots in the downtown core.  The downside?  It was pouring rain, almost the entire time.  However, after the shoot we took part in some retail therapy which was quite rewarding.

For our wedding, I wanted to be as crafty as I could to really personalize our special day (and save money). I started shopping early on (well, not that early considering we planned our wedding in five months) and would hit up various thrift stores, at least weekly in my hunt for picture frames.  Once I had a good variety, I grabbed some metallic silver spray paint from the local hardware store, and went to work. The finished product looked so great at the wedding. We displayed our engagement shoot photos in the frames, which we had kept a secret from everyone until that day.

I really love it when Tiffany shows us snippets of her life through her iPhone photos, and I have personally been meaning to do this for a while, but haven't. Here are some photos I've taken this week while on the go.

PS - One week today, till I get married!

PPS - As of 4pm today, I'm on holidays for 3 weeks! (Ahem, a total of 24 days - yipee!)
