day 12: Today after work we were driving to Manhattan Beach and the sunset was shaping up to be a good one so I had my camera at the ready. When we pulled up to a deserted light alongside this car I knew I had my photo of the day!

day 11: Today was a cloudy drizzly day, which went well with my mood. To commemorate the moody day, here’s a moody photo.

day 10: I spent the entire evening working on the new layout for my illustration website so I didn’t have time to go out looking for a great photo before it got dark. At least there’s always indoor lighting and my trusty husband as a subject!

day 9: I got my new portrait volunteers! Thank you Allison and Mark, I hope you like your photos.

day 8: ok, I didn’t post this on Saturday. But I did take it Saturday and that’s what really counts. Taken during my cake class. Mmmmm cherry filling.

day 7: Well I’ve officially completed week 1 of the photo-a-day challenge. Ending the week with my absolute favorite treat (and current obsession) pinkberry. mmmmm.

day 6: a little practice on photographing objects (and not having them look lame). I love our fabulous knives.

day 5: Stopping for a quick photo on an evening walk. I think he would prefer I find a new portrait subject. Any volunteers?

day 4: rita in the dog jungle (aka front yard)

day 3: it’s late, we’ve been out at a fabulous show, but i need to get this project done before i can go to bed. picture me staring at the computer in my “office”
