Weekly Photo 1/52 for 2013: Camelia

ByKristen Koster

Weekly Photo (1/52) Close-up of a camelia bloom by Kristen Koster on FlickrAs some of you know, last year I started a 365 project where you take and post a picture for every day of the year. I stalled out in September and even though I tried to pick it up again in October, the momentum was gone. This year, I decided to take a lot of the pressure off and only require myself to post one weekly photo, although I may take lots more. Downloading my camera and posting the pictures wasn’t the hard part. Some days it was just getting outside to take a picture. Sure I had my iPhone with me, but I don’t like the picture quality as well and it felt like cheating when the whole point of the project was to learn how to use my dSLR better. And I think I made great progress toward that goal.

I hope you enjoy these posts and looking at the year to come through my lens with me!

Today’s weekly photo post is NOT a daisy! Spring is starting to burgeon here in full force. It’s been in the low 80s this week and the flowers are loving it. This also means that it’s warmer at night and that means foggy mornings. I was going to grab a shot of the sun coming…

This past week was the twentieth week of our 365 Photo Challenge. Took some chances on photos that paid off this week. Then there were the ones that didn’t. =) But since, I’m listening to Neil Gaiman’s graduation address for the University of the Arts Class of 2012, I’m going to not call them “mistakes”….

This is the tenth week of our 365 Photo Challenge. Hard to believe it’s been 70 days already! Sorry for the seemingly repeats of the nearly, but not quite full moon. Can you tell I didn’t take any photos during those days and needed something — Anything! — before I went to bed? At least…

Social Media: Where You’ll Find Me

ByKristen Koster

This week my accountability group’s How I Write series asks, “Which social media platforms do you do? Which do you prefer and why?” I’m not an extrovert by any means, but I can almost pretend to be one on the internet for short periods of time. I do have a tendency to lurk, but I…

Weekly Photo 8/52 for 2013: Fungi

ByKristen Koster

Today’s weekly photo post is of the giant fungi growing on our dying willow tree. There are several of this variety at the base of the trunk and on a couple of the higher branches. There’s also small white fungi along the upper branches that almost make it look snow covered. Yeah. Not likely here,…
