It is going to happen.

Here is a link to the Worth thread where everyone will post their daily photo.

My theme will be: BOOKS!

(And thank you JohnnyTitan for helping me find it!)

Each year, the photographers of Worth share their “12 Hours of Christmas”. Each of them chooses one of the Christmas days and posts an assembly of pictures: One for each hour, 12 hours altogether.

This year, we had my little meerkitten brother over from Stockholm for the holidays. So that made, together with my husband and me, three Worthians! Of course, we had to do the challenge.

Here is the thumbnail. To view all pictures, click “more”:

12 Pictures of Christmas

(more…)

I know I didn’t post much. What with an almost full-time job a new (old) house begging for renovations, and a lovely family demanding care and entertainment, I feel thetime for zeh internetz is limited. And what I have, I usually spend on Worth (as well you know).

But! A time will come where you will hopefully see a post each day. Right, EACH day!

I committed to the 30 Days Photo Frenzy of Worth, where a photo will be taken each day according to a self-chosen topic. I already have my topic, and it will be fun!

We also decided to do a 12 Hours of Christmas photo series, so you will see some Christmas pix for sure. So stay tuned, photos are bound to come.

The Worth1000 photo challenge will happen this January. Unfortunately, I cannot participate this time, because I do not have the time to do so at the moment.

But no one keeps YOU from checking out all the amazing “One Photo A Day” Blogs.

Go Green Poster

I made this (shot and concept) for a Go Green Posters contest at Worth1000. I thought it would be an appropriate way to wrap up the Flora and Fauna September, which has been enjoyable for me – and I hope, also for you.

Stay tuned for the next project.

So I am back online (as you see), and although I am going through very personal hells of my very own, I decided that I’d rather drop dead than drop out of a challenge I dedicated myself to.

The bottom line of that being that I’m still in the 30 Days of Text, and catching up.

I wrote all five missed days, the last four of them in a row, and while I was doing so, I also decided what my personal challenge of this will be.

I know the rules of this whole game, as it is the first “30 Days of…” text challenge at Worth, are very free, which is perfect. But I decided to add a personal challenge for myself. I want to write 30 days of poetry, and use a different poetic form each day. As you can see in the previously linked Wiki article, there are enough poetic forms to fill a year, let alone a month. I am sure I find enough to suit me.

I really hope I can live up to that, given my current form and situation, but I promise I will try.

Tomorrow’s word: Comfort.

So the 30 days of text will begin tomorrow.

You will be able to find all links to all entries by all participants at the

Worth1000 August Blog a Day Project at Multiply.

I hope everyone has fun, and I am looking forward to read what all of you come up with.

So yes. Vacations. Which were brilliant. I might share pictures. Later.

Then life. Issues. Some of them nice. Most not. But now I am back, for now.

Also, I decided to enter a Worth challenge of

30 DAYS OF TEXT

There will be a different word or topic given each day, and I and the other participants will write about it.

What does that mean for you, oh well-disposed reader of my blog? It means that there will be an entry every day. At least I hope so.

Starting August 1st. Topic: Multifaceted.

Ain’t it weird? I like to make new photos old, and make old photos new.

By colorizing them. Colorization of old photographs is diligence work, tons of layers and trying. I love it. Almost meditative.

Here are two works of mine. I have to thank the Worthian danger_mouse for all I know about colorization, she taught me.

I did it again. Photo aging! Remember I did it once already?

This time, I chose to go for a self portrait. It was the hardes thing I ever set up so far, and I owe tons of thanks to my great photo mentor Clive. He made me re-shoot it four times, so thanks for that, too. (No, seriously, I learned a lot doing this).

So, here I am as a pinup girl.
