Negative Space, day 4

Negative Space, day 3

Negative Space, day 2

Negative Space, day 1

Last week's photo challenge was Curves (duh) and this week it is Negative Space. I think the second photo here is better use of negative space. Not that a highlighter is a hugely interesting focal point, but whatever.

Eggplant Parm

If you've been following my blog, you've noticed that I haven't posted in awhile (today is January 31). Don't fret, I haven't given up on the 365 Challenge yet! I promise you, I will fess up if I miss a day. I have been taking pictures, I just have not had the time and/or energy to post them. But to be fair to the pictures, I am dating the posts on the day the pics were taken.

Baked Eggplant Parmesan - mmmm!

Curves, day 5

These pictures were all taken using a pot lid.

Curves, day 4

Curves, day 3

Curves, day 2

I didn't like these pictures as taken because I really don't like straight up primary (well, I guess green is actually a secondary) colors, but when I reduced the saturation I liked them better.

Curves

The local moms' board I am on has a great group of moms who are really into photography. Some are professionals and some have just picked it up as a hobby, like myself. One of the moms has started posting weekly photo challenges. She posts a theme each week and encourages anyone to post their photos that relate to that theme. The theme this week is "Curves", which I like much better than last week's theme of "Sleep". I couldn't sneak up on either Isabella or the dogs while they were sleeping and I wasn't creative enough to interpret that theme differently. So here are my first two pictures of "Curves". We can post as many pics as we'd like each week, so I may be taking more. I already have a couple more ideas.


I like this first one because the curvy goblet is on the curvy table. I wanted to also pick up the curvy shadow but the sun was too low, casting a much longer shadow than would work for the shot. It's probably just as well, because that might have been too many curves.

I like this one because of the contrast between the curvy goblet and the blocky chair.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is Mom's birthday and this is what we got her. Isn't it beautiful? Check out the shop here: http://cynthiacallan.etsy.com/ . She has some really beautiful stuff and she is really nice.

I love Gerbera Daisies!

Brains vs Muscle

Guilford Day Homecoming 2009 - we had an Alumni vs Faculty and Parents game to kick off the night - although there were only 5 alumni playing and about 3 times that on the opposing side, the "Silver Knights" still fell. I guess muscle won out this time. This picture is of two of my colleagues.
