Christmas Day 2010 - one hour at a time (Hourly photo results!)

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Challenge me, challenge you| Photography

… as referred to in yesterday’s post. :)

This page will be updated in fits and spurts as the day goes on and all updates will be posted below (most recent at the bottom), although the Flickr set will always be updated first. You can click to enlarge too.

Wake:

7:00 a.m. - First official shot of the day!

7:00 a.m. - Coffee first!

8:00 a.m. - Survey says

That’s it! I got my twelve photos, every hour, on the hour. After that last shot we settled down to watch a movie, and frankly, that doesn’t make for great photos. Otherwise I would have kept going. :)

I’m going to spend the next while looking at your contributions to this challenge. They were great. I was following along on Twitter when/if I was able. It was a lovely peek inside your lives. Thank you so much for sharing!

Finally got around to posting my version (ok, so not all photos were taken exactly on the dot…)

Loved doing it though. Forced me to have more even coverage throughout the day and I ended up with some favourite shots that I would have otherwise missed.

The Obligatory Blurb

Thank you for visiting! My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (14) and Sarah (12). I've been blogging since 1999, which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran of the Canadian blog scene, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I am the Managing Editor of Capital Parent Newspaper but also make my living doing a bunch of other fun things. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
