Self Portrait

This week's assignment in my 26 week group was "Just Me", aka self portraits. I often enjoy doing self portraits but I've not been "feeling it" this week. To combat my lack of concept, I decided to work on a technique, the Cinemagraph. Frankly, it needs some kinks worked out, but I'm getting faster and enjoying playing... To see how others in the group dealt with this challenge, please continue on with Aubry Wood Startin.

I don't want to forget...

My oldest is growing up so fast. Everyone says it over and over again when they are babies and you roll your eyes and say, "Oh, yes..." and then POOF, they are almost 10 and don't want to hold your hand in public and you wonder where all the time went... Well, at 9 and 3/4 as he likes to say, my boy loves origami. He's been making little animals for about two years now and aside from Legos, it is the only quiet activity he engages in. Often with the intent of selling his creations back to me. All the birds you see in this shot were given to me with a "suggested donation". He is trying to quickly amass cash before we go to Nebraska for the 4th of July. He has his eye on buying many, many fireworks...



Please continue on with the circle of amazing photographers, next up is Gina Weathersby....
