I love coming up with photographs for song titles, it really does challenge me to use my creative side a little. Today is The Rolling Stones hit “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” I shot this in the rain with two flashes and the self-timer on the camera.

These song title themes keep songs running through my head while I keep my eyes open for a good way to translate the title into a photograph. The second in the series is from Chubby Checker “The Twist.”

I made it through week one of Project 366. Now it’s time for week two, and with a new week comes a new theme. This week’s theme is “Song Titles.” It should be fun to come up with photographs that represent song titles. Let’s start the week off with a little Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird”

A few years ago we got a popcorn popper as a Christmas gift. I decided to put it to use. I don’t know why I have not used this awesome piece of kitchenware sooner. Maybe it was because I thought it would take to long to make popcorn with it, because we are all about having things now. I was shocked at how quick it was to make a huge amount of popcorn. It only took about 5 minutes. It takes that long to make about half as much with bagged microwave popcorn, and there were no burnt kernels. So it cost less, take about the same amount of time as microwave popcorn, pops all the kernels without burning them, and it’s fun to watch the popcorn burst out of the top when it’s done.

There are many bookshelves in our home. We have shelves for Bibles and devotionals, shelves for home schooling books, shelves for home school supplies and of course shelves for photography books. I have hard time picking a favorite book especially when it comes to photography. What’s you favorite photography book?

I haven’t had my bass on my blog in a while so I thought it was time for it to make an appearance. At least part of it any way. I used a new LED video light for the first time to make this photograph.

I was given a Keurig coffee maker for Christmas. I would not call myself a coffee snob, but I do enjoy coffee, so I had to make a photograph of the new coffee maker in action. Now I know why so many people love their Keurig coffee makers. The simplicity of making one cup of coffee without wasting coffee or filters and the easy clean up is a wonderful thing. My quest now is to find a more inexpensive place to purchase the K-cups for it.

I’m still working on getting my new office decorated. I want to hang a few things on the wall: a favorite picture of past photo sessions, a white board to write ideas and to-do list on, or maybe a shelf to set an old camera or two on. I never really thought about hanging a zebra on my wall but it does add that little something to the work space.

One of the gifts I received this year for Christmas was a yo-yo. I went through a many a yo-yo when I was younger. I think most of them were taken up by teachers in school, because I would play with them while walking down the hall. So getting one this year really brought back memories for me.

It took more than a few clicks of the shutter to get this photograph just the way I wanted it. I had to use the self timer setting and throw the yo-yo at just the right time to get it in the frame.
