day 21: how I feel today

returns the light - monica lacey 2014

This time of year I love getting to see everyone's Christmas lights, but also I love the fact that the wheel of the year turns and the days will start getting longer, bringing the sun back to us.

day 20: self-portrait

day 19: angles

shelves or drawers - monica lacey 2014

Today's photo is of an antique letterpress drawer I have - I wanted one for years and then finally scored one and I just don't know what to do with it now.  I love looking at it, maybe that's enough.

day 18: lead/follow

 Today's theme made me think of dancing - so I did some fast spinning and let the camera follow.  This is the result:

day 17: transparent

In the spirit of today's theme, I thought I'd share how I've been feeling - this month is the 6th time I've done a month-long photo-a-day challenge, and I realized yesterday I haven't been putting my full efforts into it.  Partly I think that this time of year is challenging in terms of motivation no matter what you're trying to do, but partly it's just laziness.  So today I shot a little extra & had some fun with the editing.  I found some thin slabs of ice that had frozen to the top of a bucket and placed them around my yard.  All photos monica lacey 2014.

day 16: portrait

devon playing piano - monica lacey 2014

The perks (perils?) of being married to an artist - you wind up with a plethora of drawings, photos, sculptures, etc. made in your likeness because you are usually the model who is available!  Today's photo - my very gracious husband, Devon Ross, as he was playing a gorgeous melody he'd just made up on the piano in my studio.

day 15: reflection

let it play - monica lacey 2014

Today's photo is taken in the reflection on the lid of my record player - the album on there is Rubber Soul :-)
