Day 21: Faceless Self Portrait

So this one could have gone in some interesting directions.  I tried a couple of ideas but the shot below is by far my favorite.  I love the rich colors!




Day 20: Bokeh

Bokeh:  The fuzzy background found in some pictures.  There mystery solved.  :)




Day 19: Something Orange

Here is our orange Oscar cat. 




Day 18: Your Shoes

These boots were made for walking and that's just what they'll do...




Day 17: Technology

I know, I know... I'm WAY behind.  So now I'm playing catch-up!

Here is my photo of automotive technology.
I'd like to take a moment to stop and thank the cave man!  Without his round wheel who knows what our modern day cars would look like.  ;)

Day 16: Long Exposure

So I had a couple of ideas for this theme but scheduling wise I wasn't able to get around to any of them.  I didn't want to wait around too long and get further and further behind on my days (I'm already working a day behind).  It was then that I thought of a conceptual photography artist, Brooke Shaden (whose work I've have really enjoyed lately).  I remember her talking about one of her photos in which she used a long exposure on a dark beach.  The photo was great so I thought I would give it a try ...minus the dark beach.  I could have lightened the photo a bit but I think that it would have taken away from the mood and I love the mood that the long exposure created.  And look I'm a ghost!  Hee hee this was fun!

Day 15: Silhouette

So if I had looked ahead I would have realized that my photo for Day 12 would have worked with today's theme.  But I didn't so I headed out the door to take some more photos.  I have two photos for this theme.  I couldn't decide which one I liked more so I posted them both.  Do you have a fav?



I love how the clouds help to create a line of brightness across the middle of this photo.






This is an old, rundown barn which was actually very beautiful.  I also thought it made an interesting silhouette (especially with the hole in the roof).
