When I decided to take on a weekly theme for my 365 Project, I had always intended on doing a week of silhouettes. And this past week, I got to do just that. I think that you can have so much fun with silhouettes, and get some really creative shots. The thing is though, I think that it was probably one of my hardest week themes so far. I tried to stick to the idea of having silhouettes as much as possible, though I took a bit of creative license and ended up more with something that was a combo of silhouettes and shadows. That being said, I I'm pretty pleased with the end result; especially since it really forced me to get outside of my comfort zone. What do you think?

Sunday's photo features my daughter in front of our kitchen window. She is dressed in a white dress that I bought her at Gap Kids, and my wedding veil. I'm pretty sure that, despite the fact that both of her parents are extreme computer geeks, she will likely end up on Broadway. If she does, she'd better get me front-row seats!

Monday's photo is of a floral arrangement put together by my daughter. She attends a Montessori school. Traditional Montessori schools feature a life skills module, and one of the modules in her school is floral arrangement. Last week, she asked my hubby to buy her some flowers at the supermarket, so that she could arrange them for us. This is the end result. I just love that she takes enough interest in her school work to want to practice it at home.

Tuesday's photo is so me. I LOOOOOOOVE popcorn. I'll take popcorn over sweet stuff any day. Except pie, that is. I make exceptions for pie. My hubby makes me a bowl of popcorn almost every night. He makes awesome popcorn. I think we were sitting down to watch the latest episode of "The Walking Dead" that night..

Wednesday's photo is a bit of a cheat. It was a "Crap! I didn't take my picture yet. Stand by the window and look pensive!" Doesn't he look deep in thought?

Thursday's picture shows my daughter's playfulness before bed. I swear that most days she gets an energy injection just before she's supposed to go to sleep. At the bottom of the picture, you'll find her Hello Kitty light. She was trying to use it to hide her face. Actually, it was to hide one eye, so that she'd be Hello Kitty Pirate. That didn't work out quite as she'd planned, and I ended up capturing this instead.

Friday's photo was technically taken on Saturday morning, but I figure that since I hadn't gone to bed yet when I took this picture, it's still fair game. It truly captures the stillness of the night in my kitchen.

Saturday's picture was taken during Earth Hour. My daughter didn't quite get why we had the lights off. She was quite disturbed by the fact that she was eating and drinking in the dark (bad mommy moment: dinner at 8:30pm, and eating in the living room). She actually remarked that it was unsafe, since she might knock her glass down, since she couldn't see very well. This girl cracks me up! The light that you see in this shot is from the outside lights. Clearly the City of Toronto wasn't in an Earth Hour Mood. Neither were our neighbors across the street. I actually think that they make a point of turning all of their lights on during Earth Hour each year, just to spite the movement. Bleh on them.

For once, I'm actually ahead of the curve and have decided to blog before the start of the photo week. It feels weird. I wonder if the poles will reverse because of this. I'm not entirely sure what my theme will be for Week 11. I'm toying with the idea of doing shots of the sky, working with shadows, or taking pictures of inanimate objects. I'll have to think this one through. I'm leaning towards either the first or the last theme. I guess you'll just have to keep checking my Facebook feed to find out! And in the meantime, if you haven't already checked the previous 365 posts, you can check them all here!
