I'm sticking to my promise and shooting all of my photos in full manual, which is what this course is supposed to help me learn. I can't learn if I don't try, so I'm trying, and it's starting to click - literally. So, I've photographed baby dolls outside in the grass, a teddy bear in my living room, a pepper on the floor, my baby at the park, a faux martini poolside...
The creativity challenge of the week was "A Snapshot of Your Life." Hum...hard. I really had to think about it. Yeah, my life is my kids, and the Hubs, and working, and playing, and how do I communicate that in a photo. This is what I came up with.
And if you look deeply at what these 3 objects symbolize, then you pretty much get my life.
I'm finding that this course is really helping me think about setting up my shots. Sure that is hard to do when you mostly photograph kids, but I need to look at what's in the background, and think about the lighting before I start snapping, otherwise I'm going to end up with sub-par pictures no matter how many I take. I'm sure my hard-drive will Thank Faith (the teacher) for this!
Happy Monday!

Love the photo, love the idea of the symbols of marriage and family with the Bible! How creative, love it! You definitely have a gift and talent in photography!
Such a pretty picture! I'm so glad to hear that you are enjoying your class.
What a great reflection of your life - I'm not sure what to do for mine...a picture of my desk, me sitting editing. Hmmm.
Love!!! My picture would probably be similar :)
perfect... and those mam binks (and the scripture) are both lifesavers :)
I love this picture. It is artistic and explains who you are. perfect!
Oh, that is really sweet. I love that. I love it! I think it is a great picture with even better content. On another note, your comment about emptying bedpans made me laugh out loud! Hahaha!!! Yes, I totally should've added that. I will make sure it is in the book I (won't ever) publish.
Your photo is too precious for words. You did an excellent job of pinpointing a few items that so accurately represent your life: the binky with the heart just sums up love of family and your girls. This very post is just one more reason you're so deserving of the sweet blog award I have for you. Stop by and pick it up when you have a chance. And, thank you again for the positive vibes this morning.

Just as all the other commenters have said, this is a beautiful photo. The depiction of what your life represents is so clearly stated. I think you were a great photographer before, but after this class you will be a pro!!

That is a really cool picture! You're so creative and talented. I love the way you express yourself through words and pictures.
