Day 43/365 – Color in Black & White
The idea of this photo was to take something colorful and shoot it in black & white. So a bunch of Crayola Crayons seemed to be the perfect choice. Let me know what you think!
Day 42/365 – Pez Dispenser Collection
I remember having Pez Dispensers when I was a child. Here is a photo of my kids Pez Dispensers all mixed up together. Did you have a favorite one when you were a child? Which one? Mine was Sylvester the cat. They have all kinds today. Read more at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pez_Dispensers.
Day 41/365 – Sinimin Froot Loops
My kids love to add a bunch of ingredients to something to make a special treat. What sounds completely disgusting to the adult ear, sounds really yummy to a child’s ear. I have included my kids famous Sinimin Froot Loops along with the ingredients they used written by my son Ryan (7 1/2 yrs old).
WARNING: If you get grossed out easily, you may want to wait until tomorrow’s photo! I’m planning on photographing severed rat heads. Just kidding.
Day 40/365 – Get Your Brownies Here
Here is a yummy looking photo of an item being sold at tomorrow’s bake sale at my son’s school. My wife always participates in bake sales to get funding for his school. But if cities knew how to spend money, then maybe this wouldn’t be necessary. Come on Worcester, this one bake sale will bring in $200.00 or maybe $300.00 if they’re lucky. Are you telling me Worcester can’t chip in? Maybe Worcester and other towns and cities can recognize these types of fund raisers and match what they bring in dollar for dollar. Is that a lot to ask for?
Another thing that bugs the heck out of me is for the school my son attends and soon my daughter, there are only about 20 parents that donate baked goods and volunteer for the day. That is 20 parents out of 500 families. Am I missing something here? How about instead of an unrecognized bake sale, why don’t families step forward and donate $1.00. That is change in your car, or in your seat cushion at home. If this happens on a monthly basis, then that is $500.00 per month for the public school your children are attending for free plus the taxes you pay which never seem to find their way to the school system at least from I can tell. $1.00 a month is really not a lot to ask for.
Thank you to everyone who participates in the fund raisers and I hope more people step up to the plate for their children.
Anyways… That is enough ranting for today. I hope you enjoy this photo. These brownies will bring in about $18.00 to the school and an additional $18.00 donated from me if they all sell, which I don’t doubt that they will.
Day 39/365 – Life Saver
Can you believe Life Saver candy started in 1912. I grew up with this candy. My grandparents always had these when we went to visit them. Read more about this famous candy and how it came about at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Savers. What are your memories of this candy?
Day 38/365 – Photo Plate
Here is a photo of our two kids we had put on a plate. It’s hanging on our family room wall right under our wedding photo. And before anyone asks, we do not eat off of it.
Day 37/365 – Super Bowl XLV, Packers Take It!
All I can say is, what a great game! I was kind of hoping for Greenbay to win because I don’t have a Steelers shot glass in my collection. I think I can get one pretty cheap now!
Day 36/365 – Praying Hands of Jenna
My daughter just had her nails painted by her mother, so I thought I would capture it and share it with everyone. I took a bunch of photos, but this one I liked the most. #Project365
Day 35/365 – Life’s Greatest Treasures
I think this describes what I am actually doing with this project. With each photo I take, I am capturing memories. For example; why I chose to take a specific photo of something, or where I was when I took the photo. The easiest or simplest pleasures are memories, and that to me is a treasure. Ok, so there wasn’t a corny joke, or a funny photo, but come on, we can’t joke around all the time. Don’t let this fool ya, I have plenty more corny jokes to tell in my journey to 365 photos! #Project365
Day 34/365 – Inspiring Photo
I was searching around the house to see what I could take a photo of next. As I kept looking and looking, I finally found my “inspiration”. Strange how that works 😉 #Project365
