P52: Week 5 {Shadows}

I knew exactly the shot I wanted for this week's challenge, and I went about making it happen.  We had sunny days this week, and warm weather.  I wish I could have included the husband, but he works until after dark, and leaves before Micah is awake in the morning.  

Next week's theme is Drink Up!  That ought to be fun.

P52: Week 4 {Self-Portrait}

This picture was actually difficult for me to take.  I couldn't really get anything to go right.  It's not what I wanted, but it reflects the way I was feeling at the time it was taken.

Next week's theme is Shadows.

I am also going to attempt to get in the picture more often, so I'm linking up to Urban Muser, as well.  I'll only be joining once a month.

P52: Week 3 {I Dreamed A Dream}

I had grand plans for this weeks photo.  Things did not work out as planned.  So I'll carry on, and try to do better next week.  {Which, in case you hadn't noticed, starts in two days.}  Funny fact: I rarely remember that I dream, let alone what I dream, but this morning I had a doozy of a dream.

P52: Week 2 {Made With Love}

SOOC; Nikon D5000; f/ 5.0; 1/30; focal length 34mm

This is my son, Micah, with his quilt.  It is the very first quilt I made.  I made it especially for him.  The quilt is full of imperfections and mistakes.  There are no straight lines and the binding is horrible, to say the least.  But him... That little boy is my greatest work, to date.  Both he and the quilt were made with love.

Next week's theme is I Dreamed A Dream.

P52: Week 1 {Resolution}

I am not, nor do I claim to be, a great photographer.  I like taking pictures, both in front of and behind the camera.  I would like to be a better photographer.  That's why I want to take a course in photography.  While I'm waiting on that to happen, I'm going to participate in a photography challenge.  I may not enter an image each week, but I'm guessing that this challenge will help me to figure out some things.  Also last year, around this time, I said I was going to participate in a free online photography course that I had found.  That didn't work out.  I think it was a combination of free {not losing any money} and online {not personally accountable to anyone} that made me not stick it out.  I think I am going to try again.

Now about the challenge.  

Darcy is hosting Project 52 Photography Challenge at Life With My 3 Boybarians.  This week's theme is Resolution.  Since my resolution, inspiration, was actually a theme, I was having some difficulty figuring out what to photograph.

SOOC; Nikon D5000; f/ 3.5; 1/640; focal length 18mm

I chose a photo of a sunrise.  My resolution is to find inspiration in each new day and each new opportunity.
