My 365 | Week 10
9.1.13 – 9.7.13
Grandma E reading to the kids. 
Jimmy got his sorghum picture just in time. We chopped silage all week and this field is now clear.
Flag football began Tuesday night. LOVE IT! Let me count the ways: 1) It wears Jimmy out. 2) He loves it. 3) It’s a GREAT motivational tool. 4) The volunteer coaches do a fantastic job teaching the kids the fundamentals of the game. 5) It wears Jimmy out!
Our redneck version of a foam pit – the silage pile! The big kids can’t wait to get home from school and get a few jumps in (completely safe and supervised). Jake hasn’t worked his courage up to jump out of the loader yet.

Tried out a lighting exercise* I’ve had on the “to do” list. My kids were busy playing with friends and I’ve been wanting to challenge myself in terms of different lighting. As much as I loathe pictures of myself and feel ridiculous taking them of myself, I was the only one willing to take direction.
(*If you’re so inclined, here’s more about the garage light exercise, except I was in our barn.)
I heard the boys long before I went to check on them Saturday morning. Why didn’t I check? Because they were getting along. Like, for a LONG time! Their conversations were fantastic and I hated to break the moment by peeking in. This is what I was left with.

Jaimi! Loved seeing these glimpses into your life this week. Great work on your garage light series. I really love the lighting in the bottom center one – you nailed the rembrandt triangle! And the one of your son in front of the crops is just beautiful.
I love these and your barn light selfies – WOW!!! Oh and the backlight in the field – swoon! Gorgeous!
Love your week Jaimi!! The self portraits are awesome!
The one of your son in the field, wow! Beautiful work!
OMGosh the football one are so great! The jumping thing looks so fun! Brave kid!
You had a fantastic week. Your sorghum photo blows me away…the light, leading lines, composition. I’m a huge fan of the blend of landscape/lifestyle and you nailed it!
Jaimi these are gorgeous! I love your lighting experiment, the jumping photo is awesome! I wouldnt be able to jump from that high though! awesome!
jaimi, i’m right there with you when it comes to selfies. I feel so transparent in front of the camera and afraid to stare into the lens. Taking a photo with other people is another thing. Again, love the images of your life on the farm, especially the sorghum image. I would love to see you lying on the silage pile shooting up or at the top shooting down as they do their jumps! So fun!
