Photography Challenges

Mr. B

I could have done with a better smile, or none at all, but my little man is a handsome one.

Warning, this will be a long post. Several posts ago, I journaled about my camerless photowalk. Even though today was gloomy, with heavy clouds lingering still from last night’s rain, it was the only day of my son’s 4 days off that he didn’t have something he had to go to. So he grabbed aContinueContinue reading “Downtown”

Natural Beauty

Though the gate and fence (and light) are man made, the starkness of the red bush against the stained green gate really stands out to me. Plus the gate is made of of natural things (ha ha). I also decided to use this same picture for a texture experiment. I cropped the pictureContinueContinue reading “Natural Beauty”

Love of Beauty

Yesterday, while walking around the block, I noticed a yucca plant that had some flowers left over. I love the way these flowers grow downward. I snapped this closeup, put it through some Kim Klassen textures and an action that none of which I remembered to write down. I really need to get better atContinueContinue reading “Love of Beauty”

Orange Hues of Autumn

This is a set of pumpkins I made last year. They are sitting on the front porch. I put in a Kim Klassen texture to soften up the edges. A neighbor up the street has orange mums in her mailbox flower boxes. They were a lot more orange when she planted them but stillContinueContinue reading “Orange Hues of Autumn”

An Autumnal Day Out

I mentioned the other day that my dad rode in The Day of the Tread. I think I also mentioned that we went up towards the mountains to cheer him by. It was a little farther along than half way, but we were still there. Where we were was right outside of one of theContinueContinue reading “An Autumnal Day Out”

Tickle Me Pink or LOL

Being as I have a boy, I don’t have many pictures with faces and pink in them. Luckily, I had this picture from the pumpkin patch. The kids are supposed to be racing. I am pretty sure Mr. B is racing himself and the little girl is an innocent (cute) bystander. His expressions tickles meContinueContinue reading “Tickle Me Pink or LOL”

The Yellow Hues of Autumn

It’s one of those things. I went out to take pictures and it was so busy where I went that my creativeness got shy. If anyone in the Albuquerque area ever wants to go on a photowalk with me to the Nob Hill/UNM/Downtown area, please let me know. So I am driving along Tramway. ActuallyContinueContinue reading “The Yellow Hues of Autumn”

Mr. B

I don’t normally share pictures of Mr. B just to share. Usually just when they happen to fall under other categories, like monochromatic colors or something. But I saw where Amber’s Articles was doing a Top 5 of your kids and thought I would play along this time. Mr. B starts 2nd grade. Not sureContinueContinue reading “Mr. B”
