TWiP: The Joy of Phonography

I am having a real hard time limiting my Instagram posts. I am so enjoying exploring mobile photography right now! Who knew that having a phone with a decent camera and an awesome photo editing app or two could make such a difference 😉

I’m trying not to go overboard, since I know that I’ll be sharing the images here at the end of the week and I don’t want you to have to scroll through 1000 photos, but let me tell you, sometimes it’s hard not to post anything and everything I see around me! The struggle is real, people 😜

My latest interest? Taking shots that are mostly sky, with a teeny little landmark in the corner, and editing them to have slightly extra-normal coloring. I haven’t posted many of the ones I’ve taken, but I want to continue to play around with this style.

In fact, I’m spending a long weekend at the Jersey Shore right now, and I plan to play around with this technique a lot while I’m here. Be forewarned – next week’s TWiP might require an excessive amount of scrolling on your part. (I feel significantly less inclined to curb my image-sharing enthusiasm when I’m on vacation) ♥

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the photos I shot for Project 365 (one image each day for all of 2016), plus some snapshots I posted on Instagram during the previous week.

Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…

Saturday

365 📷: 2016 135/366 – It’s kind of cool when your new earrings arrive in the mail and they perfectly match the shirt you are already wearing 😀 (The earrings are from Smith Dry Goods, BTW, and there are more in her Etsy shop, if you like them.)

Sunday

365 📷: 2016 136/366 – Windy, rainy, sunny Sunday afternoon. It seemed like perfect conditions for a rainbow, but I didn’t see one.

Monday

365 📷: 2016 137/366 – My magneta peonies don’t seem to be growing as fast as these pale pink ones, which are thriving. I’ve already got a photo shoot planned for when these babies are big enough to be cut 😀

Tuesday

365 📷: 2016 138/366 – I grabbed a few extra books from the library today, since there’s a good chance that our beach weekend is going to be very, very rainy. I’d hate to run out of reading material on Day Two…

Wednesday

365 📷: 2016 139/366 – A little after-supper drink for me and the boy. I’m heated-up cold-brewed coffee, and he’s instant peppermint mocha latte 🙂

Thursday

365 📷: 2016 140/366 – It has been a nice day today, with little bits of blue peeking through the clouds.

Friday

365 📷: 2016 141/366 – Amid the creative chaos that can sometimes be my life, there exist tiny, astonishingly-organized islands.

Thanks for taking a peek at this week’s photos! If you want to see this stuff as it happens, please feel free to follow me on Flickr and/or Instagram.

I may already have plans to blog about some of these things in greater detail over the coming week, but be sure to leave a comment if there’s something in particular you want to know about!
