Playing Catch Up on Project 52!

Hi there! Winter took hold and I wasn't inspired to shoot the prompts for the past couple of weeks, but today, the sun it out. It's "warm" out for here in the winter. And I had an urge to get caught up!! I figured I'd do that all in one blog post. I'm behind the last two weeks, and then the current challenge concludes this blog post. Enjoy!! Be inspired by all things around you.

Week 7 | 52: Pastel (Colors)

Since I live in a house of testosterone, I don't have much by way of pastel. And Easter is next month, so I wasn't waiting. I had to find SOMETHING for this prompt. And my mom would say I always dress all in black and darks (well, she IS right; aren't they always?!) so no luck in my closet. I turned to my little plate of lemons. They're fragrant. Cheery. Yellow! Yellow is a pastel, right? So there I had it. My inspiration. When life hands you lemons...you shoot them of course!

Week 8 | 52: Perspective

I hate this thing, but it helps me hold myself accountable for my progress with watching what I'm eating and working out daily. Today, we had a good day together, but this is the perspective I take on this weight loss journey. One day at a time. One pound at a time. 

Week 9 | 52: Shapes

My youngest (5) is really into cutting, so I let him loose with construction paper, glue and crayons and scissors. These are some of the things he's made me. I have a knife, many hearts, his handprint with his name in the middle, a fortune cookie (the fortune read "Logan"), I think a leaf, and the other green item, I'm not sure what it is, but it's a picture of him on it with his name!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my latest images for these challenges.

Week 3 | 52 Photo Project

This week's prompt was something I thought would be super easy. Being a natural light photographer, I didn't think twice. Yet, here it was Saturday night, the day before the new prompt goes up, and I started getting worried about getting a shot. Sadly, it's been so gloomy here that it's been hard to pick up the camera to photograph much. So I waited. Waited for a sunny day. Then waited for something cool to strike me to photograph for this week. Nothing. 

Then tonite, while thinking quickly about it, I decided I've never taken photos in the dark/with a single light source. Which led me to this capture. It's not perfect, but it says what our nighttime routine was at this point in time. Lights on in our TMNT bed tent so I could turn on his lullabies for him to fall asleep to. I suggested grabbing the pop light that came with the tent to help mom get "some" amount of light into this to try to expose in the dark! It did help, and while it's not perfect, it's perfectly imperfect. Just the way life is right now.
