Week 3: "Breakfast"

I really didn't have much in mind for this shot.  I just had my camera at my side one morning while eating my chocolate-flavored oatmeal before heading out for an 8-mile run.  I'm reading through "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson (so far, amazing book) to learn more about photography.  All I need is to learn how to see things creatively.

Week 2: "Cold"

The second week of the second semester started off with a "Snow Day"!  I figure Southerners find it more cost efficient to have an occasional snow day instead of investing in snow plows.  Anyhow, the food thing has gone to the wayside and instead I have decided to take on the task of posting one picture every week.  For people with a lot of time on their hands, the project is supposed to be a photo-a-day.  The theme is based on the website I randomly found through Google.  I started a week late, but that's how life goes.  Here is my interpretation of "Cold":

These are the paw prints of Mika, my female Shiba Inu, in the first snow of the year.  It's amazing because these dogs love freezing weather.  They can play for hours in the snow without dog booties or a coat.  That is all for now.  Yippy for snow days!

A New Year, A New Blog

Okay, the new year technically started yesterday, but while letting the bowl of oatmeal and vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt digest before I go out for my 6-mile run, I decided why not start a blog.  It all started while I was flipping through my "Joy of Cooking" book trying to find an easy recipe to cook for dinner tonight.  I can bake a lot of fantastic things, but cooking never came easily to me.  I have decided that this year I will make an effort to cook for most dinners of the week and try to blog about my experience in the kitchen (with a few non-cooking-related ramblings).  I figure I can track my progress and allow for some usage of my camera and minimal artistic abilities to shine through from my science-filled noggin.
