Red Shoes

Well, I did not make it to the camera club field trip, like Robin and Judy did, due to my son's soccer game.  I instead, tried to cause bodily harm to myself.  Seriously!  There is a website (www.dpchallenge.com) that I enter photographs into and they currently have a challenge called Leap Day: In the Syte Of: Natsumi Hayashi.  I went to her website at http://yowayowacamera.com/ to check out her style.  It is very impressive and you need to take a look at this young woman's style.  Anyway, I thought I would give it go.  Nearly killed myself.  Well, it's more likely that I nearly caused myself some bodily harm.  It's not so easy trying to do a photograph in her style.  This is just one of many.  After I fell and scraped up my hands, I figured this was not my forte.  My son felt sorry for me and did the jumping in the air for me, which I love.  He jumps much higher than me.  Since I went through all this pain myself, I figured it had to go on this week's no wimpy girls blog.  Played with some Topaz Adjust filters to make the shoes stand out.  Enjoy!

Self Portrait - July 14, 2011

This photo was taking for my personal Project 50, where I take a self portrait on the 14th day of each month until I turn 50. This is my 3rd self portrait. I have always loved photography. I love looking at photos and I love taking photos. I love messing with photos in Photoshop. I enjoy turning our vacation photos into photo books. I am all about memories and catching the moment. My first SLR was a Nikon. I have had other brands over the years, but finally went back to my old love and bought my Nikon DSLR last year. I love it.

TRAPPED

I bought this large crystal ball a few years ago for the sole purpose of being one of my photographic props. Saw it sitting there on my shelf and I figured it was about time it was used. I have always liked what I see when looking through a crystal ball or even a clear marble. I figured I could have fun with this and also do a self portrait. So, here I am acting like I am trapped in this crystal ball. Took me three days to come up with one that I kind of liked. I had a lot of fun doing this. Getting the lighting and the shocked/scared look was a bit humorous.
