About Us
- Lizzy F. and Katie K.
- About us, and our project:
My name is Elizabeth, and I have a slightly younger sister named Katie. I live in Georgia, and she lives in Wyoming. Both of us love to take pictures. We both even own the same cameras. Canons of course. We each have a DSLR, and a purse sized Powershot. We created this photo blog just for fun. I was inspired to start this project by photojojo .com . We will be taking one of their example photobloggers (dontwiggle .com) idea of using the Dictionary.com word of the day, then take a picture that describes that word. There will be no coordinating to see if the pictures go well together. Its all spontaneous, and is our individual interpretation of the word. We will most likely post every Thursday night. So check back often to see our progress. Leave a comment and let us know what you think about it.
p.s. Whats up with the name of our blog? One of our favorite movies is "White Christmas". Yeah, good movie huh? Well the song they play over and over, that's where it comes from. We sing that part of the song quite a bit, so I thought it was fitting to name this blog - Sisters... sisters.....
