July 16: Finished!!!

Keith's newest stained glass commission: finished!!

Yes, it's done. Right now it's hanging in our front window until the clients come to pick it up. It will be installed on a stair landing in a Craftsman bungalow (dating around 1920) in Los Angeles. I think they'll love it!!!

The family stopped by a month ago to admire Keith's glass choices and progress, and they agreed upon a completion deadline of mid-August. But as Keith hasn't had much outside work lately, he was able to finish it a month early.

The window is simply lovely; these photos do not do it anything like justice....

June 5: The Ademas' Window

We celebrated Dr. Don's birthday in early June, and we took the opportunity to snap another photo of this 1500-piece window that Keith completed three years ago. This window is huge--4ft by 5 ft--and truly is Keith's masterpiece.

May 30: Window Is Complete!

The Memorial Window

Keith completed this window in honor of C., the daughter of dear friends. C. is at home with the Lord; the end of April marked the first anniversary of her journey. Even while she is "forever in our hearts, forever in His hands," she remains a sweet presence to all who know her.

About Project 365

Project 365 started in January of 2007 with about fifteen online friends from the United States and beyond who resolved to post "A Photo A Day." The goal was to learn about photography through daily practice and looking at and commenting upon each others' work.

Several devoted photographers kept going in January of 2008 while most of us resorted to less-rigorous schedules of posting our photographs. But in January of 2009, about ten (perhaps more!) of us were back in the saddle, ready to shoot, post, and learn. Most of their blog sites are listed further down the sidebar if you'd like to view their work.

I took another break for 2010 but am back for 365 for 2011 with a new Facebook group of friends, many of whom you'll find in the sidebar.

I am using a simple point-and-shoot camera, an Olympus Stylus 740. Many of my fellow photographers are using far better cameras, so the quality of my photographs will in no way equal theirs. However, I still hope to "learn to see" better this year as I jump back into Project 365.
