Big Projects

2012-02-09T08:31:00.006-05:00

My photo posts have been a bit less frequent because I have been working on two projects recently that have been keeping me super busy!
The first was creating a costume for my local high school's musical production of Fiddler on the Roof. Many people have been working hard to pull this production together! Cast (my daughter is in the ensemble), crew, directors, volunteers... all pull together to run this show for two weekends. Last weekend's opening was a big success! Want to check out the Fruma Sarah costume I helped create and see this wonderful show? Hurry order your tickets at: www:myticketportal.com. There is one weekend left!

More about my other big project soon! Also my photo posts should become more consistent again!

Willard Beach 365 : Day 90

2011-12-11T09:02:00.007-05:00

It is has been 90 days of photos today.

I asked these questions back in August.....What would it be like to photograph the same place everyday? Would it be interesting? Would this place change a lot over that time or not at all?

The answers so far are simple. I love going to the beach each day and taking photographs. While familiar if you look closely each day at Willard Beach is unique and beautiful.

One of the reasons I started taking photos for Willard Beach 365 was my coastal community was threatened by a hurricane. What changes to the beach might be coming? The storm actually tracked west. Many northeastern communities were severely changed by this storm. I am grateful that my little corner of the world was spared the devastation.

Today's photos take a look back at the past 3 months.

275 days to go.
