When I started this blog my goal was to take a new photo everyday.  For a while I did, then the posts grew more seldom, which so often happens with blogs.  Then I picked it back up again, started sharing not only photos from my everyday existence, but some from those portraits and weddings I have the privilege to be a part of.  Still, there aren't blog posts everyday, but often enough, I hope.
One reason that I wanted to take a photo everyday was to be able to have some creativity each day.  Also the reason Jeff and I started 'photo day' (which we haven't done in a while).

I stumbled upon the MCP blog (not really, it's a photo blog I regularly visit).  The challenge/project is to take a photo every week.  Each Saturday a few of the week's entries are featured, and the theme for the next week is given.  It's a way to get inspired, be creative, and have a little fun too.  So why not....I signed up.  Here's some fun news...you don't have to be a photographer to do this project.  All you have to do is on the MCP blog (linked above).


So I missed the first two weeks, and decided to make those up here on the blog.  These were done quite quickly without a ton of thought (which is straying from the purpose a bit, but sometimes it's good to be able to think quick as a photographer).

The first week's theme was 'around the house.'  I took a photo of something that is an invaluable object these days.  It provides a quick cup of caffeinated joe in the morning as a little wake me up, and many othere delicious hot beverages throughout the day.  During last week's days of being snowed in, it worked it's tail off.  I give you the Keurig:
