So I says to him, “OK Ernie,” I says, “you go play 9 holes with Ralph, but don’t you come cryin’ to me when your sciatica acts up.” So he goes and plays. And guess where he is now? Flat on his back with his feet propped up by a pillow, watchin’ Judge Judy. I tell you Agnes, they never listen!
Because we’re done with the rainbow, Saj and I had to think of a new subject for our weekly diptych. Now we’ll be photographing our own interpretation of words. This week I chose the word adorable because when I went to my phone to text Saj about the new diptych theme, I noticed in our text conversation on my iPhone that the last word she texted me was adorable (in reference to a photo I sent her of Penny).
As you can see, she and I are on the same wavelength again – Matte’s birthday.
Here is Saj’s adorable photo:
Matte and I got some cool new lighting equipment so Matte consulted Strobist to find out how I could best set up this shot of someone I find most adorable:
Next week it’s Saj’s turn to pick the word. Stay tuned!

In case you’re just joining us, my sister-in-law Sarah (Saj) and I are shooting a photo a day this year, and for extra motivation, we’re doing diptychs every week. Great minds really do think alike, as you can see below. (I swear we didn’t call each other!)
This week in the ROYGBIV spectrum, we say hello to Indigo.
First up, Saj’s take:
And mine:
If you’re interested in seeing the rest of the 365 project, Saj’s photos are here. Mine are here.
Next week is violet and then we need to think of some new assignments. Feel free to offer suggestions in the comments!
In our fifth installment of the diptych project, we visit blue.
First, blue from Saj with bonus blue in Caden’s eyes. How cute is HE?
My take on blue is Matte’s favorite hat:
Next week is indigo. Can someone tell me the difference between indigo and blue? Thanks.
This week’s diptych is brought to you by the color green. And now, without further ado:
Saj gives us the world’s most famous frog:
This is a perfume bottle from Egypt that my friend Rachel gave me:
Next week in the rainbow we visit blue. You can bet mine won’t be a sky photo because it WILL NOT STOP RAINING.
This wek in the ROYGBIV spectrum, we visit yellow.
First, Saj give us a Hungry Hippo with some killer bokeh:
Below is my shot for yellow. Note to anyone reading this lives within driving distance of my house: if you need lemons, please let me know. The tree in our backyard went crazy with fruit, giving us over 300 lemons. I’m not joking. I could sell lemonade on the corner for 5 years.
Next week is green. Maybe I’ll shoot all the money I make at my lemonade stand.
