G is for Graveyard
Cemetaries are always interesting places to take photos. I guess it sounds morbid, but cemeteries always intrigue me because there are so many people's stories buried there. I just wonder what secrets people take with them when they die...

F is for Fireworks
I like this picture because it looks like there is a person with crazy hair in the middle.

Three Landscapes

Here's some of the cast in costume on the location from today.
And here are two photos of our cute puppy actor who was very well-behaved today and did exactly what we needed him to do.

These pictures aren't that great unfortunately, but here are a few photos of what's been keeping me so busy the last couple months. We shoot this weekend...6:30 crew call tomorrow. Sigh. But it will be fun and I'm proud of the set. This one was taken by Tim. This is Joe my film professor sitting in for light readings and camera checks.
This is a wider shot of the set and the studio.
Here's a different angle of the window and light setup. Not bad for a $200 art budget...

A wider shot of the seed pods I posted a while ago.

E is for Egret

This is an egret that was in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. He was very used to being around people and we were only a few feet away from him.
And here's another photo of Annie with a tulip.

I've missed a couple days of posts because I've been busy working on the set for my advanced film shoot next weekend. I've had a lot of fun though, and it's really coming together. I'll be sure to post pictures later once everything's finished.
Now that's it's March, it's time to start Project Spectrum, which I signed up for a while ago. I signed up for this project because I love anything to do with colors. I wasn't sure what I was going to work on when I signed up, but after hearing a speaker on stash aquisition at the quilt guild meeting, I've made up my mind. She mentioned that most quilters have a lot of fabrics with medium values in their stash, but relatively few lights and darks. I realized, I'm definately one of those people, so I'm going to work on filling out some of my stash for project spectrum. I'm not just going to choose random fabrics, though. I started a quilt in a tumbling block pattern for my boyfriend Tim. I have five different colorways: green, blue, red/yellow/orange, purple, and pink, so my goal is to buy or find light, medium, and dark fabrics in these colors. To make things more interesting, I'm making it a charm quilt, meaning I won't use a fabric more than once. So I should end up with a quilt with 390 different fabrics in it when I'm done, and hopefully a more diverse fabric stash for future projects. I've also decided to hand piece all of the blocks as well as hand quilt them when the time comes. This is my first go at hand work and I'm really liking it so far. I have about 15 blocks finished, which I will photograph and post eventually. Each month, I'll try to make more blocks in the assigned color, and hopefully I'll be much closer to finished by the time project spectrum is over.
So with that said, here are three photos to make up for the last three days I've missed.

Appropriately PINK chrysanthamums...

A RED crab...

And last but not least, a RED hibiscus.
