I took five different versions of basically the same shot with different features of Hipstamatic. I put four of them into this collage using Picnik.

Product Placement
Went to Round Table Pizza for lunch with my boys, since Cameron and I had off school and Alec's work was off due to rain. Was playing around with Hipstamatic, as I do.

Rainy Days and Thursdays...
This was the view today from my classroom, through a raindrop-spattered window in my door. It's wet.

Goofing on the Beach
I did not take ANY pictures on February 16th. I had a bunch of meetings. But I took so many pictures the previous Saturday, I thought it would be fun to edit and share some of those here and there.
This one I enhanced, cropped, boosted color, and blurred the edges. All in iPhoto.

Grubby Pathways
I put my camera down on my desk to let my EyeFi card transfer pictures to my laptop, and I really liked what was showing through the view window.
So I shot it.

Cool Palms
These are some of the palm trees in my neighborhood. I messed with temperature, tint, and sharpness. A few of my students say it makes it looks like it's under water.
My life has been kind of busy lately, and I have been exhausted. This is my 2/14/11 shot for Project 365.

Cameron Up a Tree
I took a picture I liked, cropped it, and then faded the color, and used the antique feature a bit. This is from yesterday's day trip to Wilder Ranch near Santa Cruz.
I actually took this yesterday, but I am using it for today's 365 because I took so many good ones yesterday, and I really like how this came out once I started messing with it. The original was nice too, of course.

Fun on Fern Grotto Beach
Today, Cameron and I drove over to Wilder Ranch and hiked out to the Fern Grotto Beach. Cameron's favorite part of the day was just playing on the beach. He was great on the hike out and back too. This one really captures the essence of his enjoyment of running around in the sand, staying away from the surf as it roared and rolled in.
There's a whole set (134 pictures) from the trip on my Flickr site.

Colonial Day
Most of my pictures from our 5th Grade's Colonial Day show students' faces, so I can't really share them here. But this one partly captures the essence of all the kids and a bunch of staff all dressed up. Here, they're listening to our music teacher and media specialist discuss the use of music and instruments during Colonial times. Meanwhile, the librarian brewed and served tea.

Boys Playing Football
Before work today, I went out into the playground to find some photography subjects. Most of the pictures I attempted really did not turn out well at all. But this one was kind of fun.

No Sudden Moves
I am still feeling pretty rough, with lots of dry coughing and the aching that comes as a result. We were messing around with Hipstamatic, and of course, Cameron moved. But I still like this shot best of all the ones we got.

The Best I Could Manage
I stayed home sick from work today, and my son stayed home from school as well. I feel awful. This Hipstamatic self-portrait kind of says it all, really.

San Jose Sunset
I love this one. So much so, in fact, that I am borrowing it for today's 365. I'm sick and went to bed shortly after getting home from church. Been up a few hours, and now I am going to bed again VERY soon. I promise to take my camera out again tomorrow. Even if I am home sick from work!

Considering a Climb
I took Cameron down the street to our little neighborhood park today. The weather was simply amazing, and I HAD to get out and take some pictures. Most of them have a little too much goofy in them. But I like how this one came out. He was determined to climb this tree. It didn't happen.

Spotted on my Walk
I was heading out to my car for lunch and I really liked the way these flowers stood out. Tried to get a good angle to capture their beauty.

Repetitive Railing
This is alongside the ramp that leads up to our school's cafeteria, as seen from the library below. It just looks cool.

Late Night Laptop
Hubby did not know he was my subject. I had to get a few snaps in because my day was so wildly busy I never even took my camera out. Now I am shattered and just need to get to bed!
