Overheard at Bridge Club

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!

Diptych #9 – Shapes

catheroo — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:11:32 +0000

I almost wrote a regular non-diptych blog post this weekend. But I changed my mind. I think my blogging mojo has flown south for the winter, or transferred to my photo mojo. Someday soon I will write a blog post though, but right now my life is consumed by house-training a puppy, and do you really want to hear those details? Yeah. Didn’t think so.

Anyway, I digress. This week, Saj chose the word shapes for us. Here’s what she came up with, with a little help from my nephew Caden:

And here’s mine. Guess who these belong to?

Come back next week to see what word I choose for us. Who knows? Before next week’s installment, I might have a regular old post here. But don’t hold your breath.

Diptych #8 – Adorable

catheroo — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 06:08:46 +0000

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!

Diptych #7 – Violet

catheroo — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 05:52:02 +0000

Saj and I are in the last week of the ROYGBIV assignment for our diptych project. Violet is an elusive color, but Saj managed to find it on a familiar friend:

And, oh look! Penny (our new puppy! – Matte said YES) has a violet-ish collar. How convenient!

We’ll be back next week with who knows what. If you have suggestions for a diptych project, let me know in the comments.

Help me convince my husband

…that this sweet little girl needs to come live with us. I think she’s a shih-tzu/maltese mix, but I’m not sure. She’s around 4 months old, I think? All I know is she is so freaking cute and I’m a person who loves BIG dogs. But this one has won me over completely. I’m therefore wh0ring for comments to help me state my case. GAH she’s so cute I cannot stand it! And aren’t you all sick of cat pictures?

Diptych #6 – Indigo

catheroo — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:30:05 +0000

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!
