Posted on October 23, 2011 by weyakin

Hi Everyone! I admit it, my blog has been slow moving. It’s hard to keep up with everything and still have time in the day to sit down and write something. But, there is a new series of blog posts I’m excited about putting together. A weekly illustration project that I want your help with. Each week, I will write a small piece and create … Continue reading →

Summer Is Here…

Posted on May 31, 2011 by weyakin

Summer is here (almost). Socially anyway, summer has arrived, despite the fact that the summer solstice has not yet occurred. Once the spring and summer get into full swing, things really get busy! I’ve been working with some great people on all kinds of projects. I have worked on many websites, done some craft events and worked on art. I’ve also been involved in other … Continue reading →

Woodland Still Life

Posted on March 8, 2011 by weyakin

This past Friday was my birthday. I decided to take the day to do whatever I felt like. This is a rare occurrence that I actually do whatever I feel like without having obligations. It’s nice to give yourself that sort of break from time to time though. After having a nice lunch with my husband, which I brought to his work, I went down … Continue reading →

52 Weeks of Photography: Week 8

Posted on March 3, 2011 by weyakin

On to week 8 of the 52 Weeks of Photography project (which was last week)! The theme last week was Windows and Doors. I took the opportunity to use this theme to do some experimentation with motion and and open shutter. I love experimental photography! It’s so neat to see what you can come up with by doing something a little different with your camera. … Continue reading →

Isochronic Sounds and Art?

Posted on February 28, 2011 by weyakin

This weekend, I pulled up a website that a colleague of mine had sent me a while ago called iso-tones.com. I’ve heard of isochronic tones for a while, which are sounds (usually in droning noises) that when played through headphones, supposedly can alter brainwave activity. This website has many free sounds to try out, including headache relief sounds, sounds to help with depression or boost … Continue reading →

And of course, my clients come first, over my fun photo project. Sorry photos. But, I took the opportunity to take photos for both weeks 6 and 7 while I was in Shelburne Falls, MA … Continue reading →

The turn-out was pretty good and we all had a great time together! It’s always nice when you can spend the day … Continue reading →

Okay, I’m a few days late with this one. But, here I am with week number three for the 52 Weeks of Photography project! Last week’s theme was “Snack”. This was actually an easy one for me as it is not unusual for me to take photos of my food. I’ve been known to regularly post about my food on my personal Facebook page, often … Continue reading →

52 Weeks of Photography: Week 2

Posted on January 14, 2011 by weyakin

I continue with the 52 Weeks of Photography project, which I started last week. This was week 2 of the year-long project, this time given the theme “White”. Given that we had a massive snow storm here in New England this week, this theme wasn’t all that hard to accomplish. In fact, I also learned today that 49 out of the 50 states in the … Continue reading →
