One Object Everyday Shoot

There is a flickr One Object 365 Days Group and they have achieved some cute results. One of my contacts there has started his own project and is doing very well with it. Love his subject and storyline. I thought I would give it a try but maybe just for 30 Days. If it works out, perhaps it will become a 365 days project.

Anyone else care to join in? Just label your photo 1/30, 2/30, etc. Start anytime. Good luck to us!

Smith Stargazing 1/30

Meet Smith. When I first encountered him, I caught him stargazing. You got to love a dreamer. Smith seems like an interesting fellow, his face is sometimes hard to read but his body language is expressive. I am sure we will have fun together!

I will be putting most of the images in here:

Smith Mashed Potato 2/30


He was watching a James Brown video on Youtube and dancing "The Mashed Potato" when I got up today. Got to say he had some cool moves and so does James Brown!
Now to teach him to make a latte in the morning.

Wow. That would take a lot of imagination to take a picture of an object that many different ways.

very cool Jas. Can I use D'Arcy??? LOL

I agree, asnow!

You can use whatever you want Bambi!

Neat idea! Your doing a great job :) and Smith is a cool model .

This could be a lot of fun and quite challenging . I'll have to give it some thought and see if I can come up with character . :)

Cool and good luck with that! I'm all Single in September'd out ;) I will enjoy seeing what you come up with though. You are off to a great start.

I'm going to do this too! Just searching today for my object..! Thanks for the idea

Well, Smith decided that he would try and cook today. Things did not go particularly smoothly. First there was the egg shell in the frying pan incident , then flour everywhere. When he turned on the tea kettle, I moved him out of there before things could heat up - literally. Guess who got stuck washing up?

Later on, I found him watching YouTube again:

I'm enjoying this thread JAS, very creative. I especially like the smith lightly dusted with flour. Right going to check out your album now. :D

I want to see Smith doing the Time Warp!!!

Thanks, Richard and Bambi! Who knows what he will get up to next!

4/30 A New Face

Well today Smith thought it would be cute to get a photo of him feeding Sadie but Sadie would have none of it. We tried to get her to go near Smith using clicker training and her favourite treats but it was a no go. Smith was feeling a little sad about it so we decided I would draw a face on him so he would not look so strange.

Love the new face! :)

Lol, thanks, Donna!

Since Sadie did not want to play with him, Smith found another friend:
