Project365: Week 4
It’s hard to believe I’ve nearly completed a whole month of Project365 on Flickr. I’ve enjoyed the process more than I ever imagined. The magnitude of it hit me today when I was driving up the Mount Rose Highway and noticed the most amazing cloud formations hovering over the mountains. I instinctually pulled off the road just past a set of power lines when I realized I didn’t have my camera with me. I can’t repeat what I said, but I’m sure you can fill in the blank. I plan to go back tomorrow afternoon, but you know it won’t be the nearly as magnificent.
My assignment for Week 4 was “Gratitude”. It was my birthday and I’ve been overwhelmed by the many joys in my life. Of course I’m thankful for my family and my health, but it’s the little things that make my life so great. From the sweetest little brown dog to the chocolate cherry cake my mom makes, it was fun to look at my world through a grateful lens.
For week 5, I plan to work with my new speed light, a birthday gift from my husband. I have no idea how to use it, so it will be an adventure. I’ve already veered off course with this image of my son at the fire station, but sometimes that’s how it goes.
Below are a few images from the week:
Wow, that cake continues to look amazing. Can’t wait to see the fabulous photos to come!
Yep your photos totally rock! It sounds like you have succeeded at incorporated photography into your everyday life (albeit because you realized you DIDN’T have your camera). As I write this I realize that I mostly consider photography to be work, something I do to forward my little business in some way – and of course, if I started viewing it as it’s own artistic venue I may progress faster in my learning! (Either that or have a nervous breakdown from adding yet another thing to do to my plate!)
So, yay you! Your pictures are rockin!
I actually do have a piece of advice for meeting with a boutique owner. If you are too nervous or scared, hire someone! Do you have a friend who does PR, sales or marketing, perhaps someone looking for work currently? It’s just a thought, but it might be what you need.
