Day 77 - Snapped

This photo symbolizes how I'm feeling during this hectic time. As you may have noticed I haven't posted in a while. It's been pretty busy with report cards, portfolios, teacher/parent meetings, workshops, etc. Fortunately, I'm just feeling a bit frazzled. I haven't quite snapped, not yet anyway. Here's to things settling down so I can get back into my blog routine.

Day 322 - Report Card Blues

As I said in an earlier entry, it's report card time. It's been a long, busy and exhausting week. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday! Was up late working on reports and not feeling very inspired. I decided I'd take a picture of what was keeping me away from my blog. Marking, putting in marks and writing comments were giving me the report card blues. Hence why I decided to use the cyanotype effect. Lastly, report card week would not be complete without a little Diet Dr. Pepper to keep me going. On a positive note, it was great to be able to record the improvement a number of our Grade 6's have made.

Day 309 - Q reflections

It's been a busy week. Report cards are just around the corner, I have workshops to prepare and just trying to keep up with the regular preparation, marking and home stuff. Saw an interesting picture of a Q-Tip while looking at photographs with my students today. I decided to use it as inspiration for today's pic. I like the double reflection on the glass. I think I might try using this subject again but with a macro lens instead.

Day 305 - Taking Control

Had a busy day and was feeling pretty tired by the time we got home. Decided around 9 that it was time to take today's picture and post it. November's a hectic month and I usually feel like I'm losing control at some point. Okay, truth be known, this happens during other months as well. Dexter was hanging out downstairs when I arrived with my camera. I figured today's theme would be taking control rather than losing it. I'll save the losing it for later this month.

p.s. Don't worry, Dexter doesn't usually have access to the remote control. This was a posed picture and no animals were hurt or killed in the process.
