I surpassed 3000 views on RedBubble today! It seems not too long ago that I had reached 2500, hopefully the increased views are a good sign. Watch out art world, Danielle Kay is movin' on up.

While taking my "photo a day" for today, I discovered that the overhead lighting in my kitchen is actually pretty great for what seems to be a crappy fluorescent light. I am definitely planning on taking more photos next to the stove! And sadly, I exceeded my upload limit for the month on Flickr, so I won't be able to put up any photos for the next few days, but here is the photo for today:

Here's something random I created today. It's a bit journalistic, which isn't quite my style of photography, but I liked it anyway.

New lighting!

The studio lighting that I bought on eBay finally arrived! So far...I am in love with it. It is so different shooting with "real" lighting, as opposed to whatever spare lamps I could find around the house. I have experimented with it for the past couple days, and I'm getting better at lighting but I still have a long way to go! Here are the first three shots I did using the new lighting.

Turns out the cropped version looks better than the original.

Earlier today I started a new series I've been planning called The Clone Series. The first one may represent an internal struggle...or it's just amusing. Look forward to more clones!

Day two of Photo a Day! I took pictures on our frozen pond where we play ice hockey. This is the photo that made it to Flickr. There was another of the same subject that I liked as well, but the fact that I love lens flare made the above photo the winner. The one below was the runner-up.

My Photo a Day project has officially begun! I plan to take at least one photo every day for an entire year. I'll upload each photo to Flickr and title it with the date on which it was taken. This should be quite a journey....wish me luck!
