REDREAMING PHOTOGRAPHY- Wendy Bandurski-Miller

Saturday, January 8

So i thought since i pretty much already take a photo a day i would start actually uploading and documenting the year 2011.....
Why do it?

Taking a photo a day is a big undertaking with big payoffs. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider doing it:

Imagine being able to look back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned… (Often we find it hard to remember what we did just yesterday or even last night, let alone a whole year ago!)

Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast.

Taking a photo a day will make you a better photographer. Using your camera every day will help you learn its limits. You will get better at composing your shots, you’ll start to care about lighting, and you’ll become more creative with your photography when you’re forced to come up with something new every single day.

so January 1st 2011....

Herbs and Horeshoes

One of the things useful about our herb garden is it's proximity to the kitchen and being so close means you tend to be more aware of any plant needs or changes in conditions....it allows a 'heads up' for the whole garden in fact.

This year we have cut and grow lettuce, sage, coriander, chives, mint, asparagus, garlic, some onions, Silverbeet, broccoli, Thai basil, sweet basil, Cumin, nasturtium, wild mustard, and dill and probably more i have forgotten all growing in what used to be a rubble pile.

More will be added as time goes on. I use a lot of herbs in my cooking and dehydrate them for winter time.
