....and we're back on track. HP went down to bed, Syx is at school so I decided to break out the sparklers and glow sticks and try light painting, which I have never tried on my own. It took a bit of trial and error with materials and exposure time- I found the glow sticks didn't give off enough light in this setting, but I suspect they would be great in a darker setting. This was using a sparkler and I'm at ISO 100, f9, with a 6 second exposure, no edits

It looks magical in my living room tonight!

Big fails.

I've been having a hard time keeping up with the 365 project between working, participating (trying to) in a writing class and planning an up and coming toddler art class at the Mt. Pleasant Community center. So here's to pressing forward and not obsessing over the missed days, like I would normally do. So here's what I do have, there are gaps in days and I'm not sure that they're all in order - expect to see me back tomorrow with day 130.
