It must be toys week for me, but more than that, I’ve been playing with my ring light a little more and I think this one turned out pretty good. I didn’t even use an Instagram filter. Check out my

Can you believe I have never seen Finding Nemo? My friend couldn’t believe it either so she got me this hoping it would remind me to go watch it. I kind of like the the reflection in the can, and

Day 25 – Mishchief
I love Doctor Who. My friend Carla bought me this little Dalek while we were in Portland and I thought it was time I showed him off. He is awesome:) Check out my other photographs these places: http://instagram.com/onthehunt365 http://onthehunt365.blogspot.com http://www.pinterest.com/elusiveblue/on-the-hunt-365/

Grandma had two of these sitting on the table tonight when we went up to visit. Is there anything better than a group of people chatting over a bucket full of popcorn. Check out my other photographs these places: http://instagram.com/onthehunt365

Day 22 – Colored Glass
Rows and rows of glass beads. I think the feat for this one is that I actually got to use the “Toaster” filter in Instagram. Check out my other photographs these places: http://instagram.com/onthehunt365 http://onthehunt365.blogspot.com http://www.pinterest.com/elusiveblue/on-the-hunt-365/

Titan isn’t always the best subject for photos. He makes for a fidgety (and sometimes too inquisitive) model. But today he did pretty good. He sat fairly still for quite a few shots. Check out my other photographs these places:

I was so excited this afternoon when I found my new ring light waiting for me on the front porch (thank you Amazon). So today’s photo session was a string of still life, mostly just dolls and trinkets and things.

So sorry guys. I went out of town last weekend and have found it really hard to catch up. I have been taking and editing photos everyday, it just seems they haven’t been making it to the TAD blog. Instead

I really can’t complain about my commute. It’s like 10 mins. I know I have it good, but I thought I would compress it down just to see what it would be like if my commute was 90 seconds. It’s

So today I came up with something that wasn’t “cooking”. I made myself a magic wand. It took a lot longer than I anticipated. As a matter of fact it is still drying right now, but it looks pretty cool.

Making this was really kinda gross, and they don’t really look the best either. And if I am being completely truthful they don’t taste magnificent. They’re good, don’t get me wrong, but definitely not worth the work. If you want
