On Fridays I'll be featuring the daily photos I take throughout the week. To see the photos I've taken throughout the year, you can check out my Flickr feed. I've also added camera and lens info below each photo.

If you're interested in even more eye candy, I (mostly regularly) take part in a blog with other phenomenal photographers, far more talented than I, who are shooting with the Fuji X system. We call ourselves the Fuji X Crew. Those posts are published on Fridays and can be found here.

All my photos this week were taken with my Fuji X-E2 and my 35mm lens. It's funny for me to note how very green many of this week's photos were, given yesterday's post. It would be nice to think I was already on my way to being more intentional, but I'm not convinced. I think they're all happy accidents.

I'm all caught up on comments again. And I finally updated my Flickr feed. Cal starts his exams tomorrow (since he has six classes instead of five, one exam happens on Saturday), and that means we're in the home stretch to the holidays. Here's to a weekend of more happy accidents. That sounds nice, doesn't it?

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was trying to pay more attention to color in my photography. What I'm learning is that I'm not as intentional about color as I want to be. (I see a New Year's Resolution coming. And perhaps a photography project or two.) What I did already know is that I love green.

Cal, when he was little, used to ask me to pick my favorite color, all the time. Isn't that something kids do? Name their favorite color and try to corner the adults around them about theirs? Hmmm. I never caved. I don't have a favorite color. Which is perhaps what makes this whole color story business so compelling to me. I don't have a favorite color, but I am drawn to greens. I knew that. My mom loves bright chartreuse-y greens, and I like those too, but really, I'll take them any way. From misty, sagey, gray-greens to vibrant, glowing, vivid greens. I love them all.

My friend Marianne, who is one of the owners of Simply Selmas, makes jewelry from time to time. Several years ago, she had to put a moratorium on green-jewelry purchases. No longer allowed.

I can take all the pictures of greens that I want, and as I scrolled through my photo catalog, I see, like with the warm whites, I could stand to do some more. Perhaps I should revisit these colors in the coming months, just to see how I get on.
