52 Photos Project

ASSIGNMENT: Shoot a roll of film

So I did.

I bought one of those tiny one-time-use 35 mm cameras

No zoom. No display. No timer. No delete.

I shot the entire roll in one afternoon 

 I kinda love the fuzzy, muted vintage look

It felt like I was using a child's toy, 

but now that I love these photos, 

I just might play like a kid once again

and buy another disposable camera.

Thanks Bella for this challenge!

Good Morning!

Hello Monday!

Show me what ya got...I am ready for ya!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

~Against the light~

I was playing with the afternoon sun for self portrait silhouettes

from my back porch, thru the kitchen door. 

It was a surprise to find the reflection from the front door on my backside!

Being surrounded by different light sources can be a delicious surprise!

~frame within a frame~

I was shooting this photo for 52 Photos Project "Out my Window"

and another surprise when I discovered myself in the rear-view window!

~best part of my day~

just about dawn, I arise alone, put on the water for coffee to press, 

light Nag Champa and prayer candles

and move quietly and softly into my day...reading email, blogs and posting my own

~buttons~

my favorite article of clothing on a man or woman is faded 501's

nothing is sexier in my opinion than the worn, soft, baggy bulge 

surrounding those famous silver buttons

~ink~

Trisha and Colby

Her ink is amazing, and everywhere!

A walking piece of living art

Delicious discovery

My friend Denise called and said, 

"Hurry come over, I found some more watermelons in the garden and the basil needs cutting" 

So I was there lickety split.

 Got home with two ginormous melons and an armful of basil...

I Googled Watermelon Basil Cocktail 

because I was so thirsty...

 

and this is how the rest of my afternoon turned out....
