30 Day Photography Challenge: Day 5 & 6 – High & Low
1I’m a little behind, so I’m putting Day 5 and 6 of White Peach Photography‘s 30 Day Photo Challenge into the same post. Both photos were inspired by my children’s music practice this morning, so I guess that they kind of work together anyway.

30 Day Photography Challenge: Day 4 Green

Green Tea
Trying to think outside the square to compensate for my lack of technical know-how with the photos I am taking. For today’s 30 Day Photography Challenge, I have photographed my cup of green tea - Japanese Cherry tea from The Tea Centre with green tea, cherry pieces and rose petals to be precise.
I quite liked this photo as well, although the focus needed to be a little bit sharper for it to be a good shot.

30 Day Photography Challenge: Day 3 Clouds
1
I’m going to cheat a little for my Day 3 entry for White Peach Photography’s 30 Day Photography Challenge. These photos were actually taken a couple fo weeks ago rather than today. We had taken the kids to ride their bikes along the bike path near Lake Macquarie. Fortunately I had my camera with me to take a shot of the clouds which seemed to be focusing in on a point on the other side of the Lake.

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day 2 Worn Today

Green Eggs and Ham anyone?
Today I am feeling a little Seussical – that’s a lot like whimsical, but funnier and with better illustrations.
This is my Day 2 photo for the 30 Day Photo Challenge hosted by White Peach Photography.

30 Day Photography Challenge: Day 1 Self-Portrait
1
Day 1: Self-Portrait. No make-up, tired, vaguely stressed, Mad Woman of Chaillot hairstyle - yep, that's me.
I haven’t been very good at prioritising things over the past few years. Photography has been one of many interests unceremoniously put aside as I fell victim to chronic disorganisation and low energy levels.
As part of my efforts to get my life back on track (which I will be writing about at my new blog Living Upside Down), I am hoping to rekindle my love of photography. I need to dust off my SLR and start looking at the world with a photographer’s eye once again, rather than simply taking happy snaps and being pleasantly surprised when I get a really good shot.
My discovery of White Peach Photography’s 30 Day Photography Challenge this morning (via posts by Megan at Writing Out Loud, Chantelle at Fat Mum Slim, Nikki at Styling You, and Zoey at Good Googs) was serendipitous.
I’m looking forward to taking part and taking at least one photo with purpose each day. I’ll post the photo here each day with a brief description/explanation if needed. I’m much more likely to complete the challenge if I keep it as simple as possible.

March 2011 Challenge Goals
1
Short and sweet this month (and a week late. I know! I know!)
There are a few big challenges on the horizon this month which involve goals across a few different areas.
In March I am going to challenge myself by:
- Attending the Aussie Bloggers Conference. A weekend in Sydney meeting with 100 other bloggers, learning about how to make a blog work and networking my little heart out. Can’t wait.
- Finally getting all the paper work organised so that I can start my wardrobe and style makeover with Alison Triffet of Style Counsel.
- Consulting with Adele Blair of Blair Lifestyle Management (and Green Apple Organising) to put a plan into place to help me clear the clutter. Adele says it is possible and I’m looking forward to working with her to bring some order to the chaos.
- Starting up a new blog called ‘Organised Chaos’, where I will be blogging my experiences as I work through the clutter and chaos.
Right. That should be enough to keep me busy and off the streets for the next month.
Do you have any goals for March? What areas in your life are you planning to work on over the coming month?
