Jan 3 2015 : meStarting my first Creative Live class - learning about my new Fuji x-t1! I'm about four segments in and I've learned at least one thing in each, so that's pretty good I think. Heard about this site from a girl at the holiday market in New York's Grand Central Station.

Happy New Year! I have decided to continue my photo journey and daily photo. Last year I thought that posting once a week would work, but sadly I would find myself getting a good month behind and playing catch up. That not blogging fun... so this year I think I will post daily and see if I like that approach a little better. Some days may have explanation and others just a photo. I am following the Fat Mum Slim prompts again - at least to start, may switch it up if she repeats. Anyhoo... thanks to those of you who visit the blog and are with me on this photographic journey through life.

Very cool holiday tunes to get you in the spirit!
oh vsco!
I opened my email tonight to a H U G E surprise - VSCO grid curators chose one of my photos to feature in the daily grid! If you don't use VSCO, you have no idea what I'm talking about, but VSCO is the only photo editing app that I use on my iPhone and I have a good number of their Lightroom presets as well. They pick some amazing images to feature and I am completely flattered (and excited) that I had an image chosen! Check out the page here to see the other amazing and beautiful images!

Ten on Ten once again!! Boy I have been a very bad blogger! I just realized my last post was 10 on 10 LAST MONTH (eeks!). I Must do better! I am a solid month behind on posting my Fat Mum Slim challenge photos and have certainly taken photos of life happenings in the last month. Oy! Anyhoo, I had a great time running around on Saturday snapping photos here and there along with some time at home getting the final touches of holiday to-dos done! Oh how I just love the holidays!
Vintage sleds - just like I used to have as a kid - outside a great antiques shop here in e-town Beach grasses - it was cooooold and windy by the lake today too! Some evergreen at the most adorable tree stand near the firehouse on Chicago Ave El train details Rolling waters on the shore - many shades of gray in the winter (boo) Christmas cards - addressed and ready to hit the post The most lovely vintage pillow cover (never knew these existed) reading "Good Night" Stars on my gold tree (yes... I have a gold tree and I love it!) Sculpture on the Nature Boardwalk in Lincoln Park - met some instagrammers there for loads of photos Then headed off to Lincoln Park Zoo lights ... soooo many people in there!

Back on track for the 10 on 10 challenge - 10 photos on the 10th day of the month! I will confess, I did my hourly photos yesterday - much better options than office blah. So here's Sunday fun day. Pumpkin bread and tea A glass of milk - can't go a day w/out one New fall/winter plantings in the outdoor pots Fun mural spotted on the side of Smiley Brothers Holiday decor is out in the stores Portrait shoot at Northwestern's campus Spotted a little graffiti under the El - love spotting these things Red ivy { heart } My fun new hat { thank you Target! } Ended the night with some photo editing
