Project 64, {Week 1} Yellow Green

Project 64 is a 64 week challenge to take a picture of something in the selected color {out of the box of 64 crayola crayons} for the week.  I am jumping in a good 4 weeks late, but will play catch up with the blog posts.

Week 01 - Yellow Green

The Joy Of {Love}, Day 03

03 then and now

How long have you known your loved one?  What has changed since you first met him or her?  Try to capture this change in photos. it would be even cooler if you can show a photo from the time you first met him and put it side by side with a now photo. Or have your loved one hold the “Then” photo and snap the camera! 

My loved one, is my dad.  This was a happy assignment for me and that is why I chose the quick page that I did (I will include this in my project life album), these colors scream happy to me.  I also came to a very sad conclusion.  There are very very few pictures of my dad from his life.  I  got a bit weepy over it all.  It just confirmed for me that it is so important to document our lives this way, or any way, just document them.  The next generations will be so thankful for the time spent now for their enjoyment later.

The first picture of my dad is in 1974, see him wearing that hat and sporting that mustache?  Well I have never seen him without a mustache, and the ONLY time he doesn't wear a hat is if he is all dressed up to go somewhere, which doesn't happen often {dad works ALL THE TIME...he is his own boss and very dedicated to what he does}, or lounging at home...yah, that lounging thing is pretty foreign to him.  Fast forward to 2010.  I took this picture of him in July 2010.  See that dirty hat, that defines his hard work for me, see that mustache, yes some things never change.  He is just a little...thicker (lol) shall I say.  Oh how I love my dad!  I have a few wishes for my dad and one of those is that he lives as long as I do.  I just can't imagine life without him here.

Ooopppps...I see that I misspelled mustache on my digital page...will have to fix that before I get it printed.

The Joy Of {Love}, Day 01

I have come across a FREE 28 day class The Joy Of Love.

Sounds like fun!
This is what Willette says you can expect from this JOY class:

• a daily email during the month of february
• the email will contain a photo idea and occasional tips
• a public flickr gallery to share photos
• an album template download at the end for all of your photos you take during the class
• a journey to help you document your loved one(s) – whether it is a spouse, partner, child, pet, parent or friend

Today’s prompt was: what they DO

He loves to watch and wait at the window until daddy drives in from work.
