This is the most I've got around here to take pictures of when I am outside. I envy the red berries people come up with at this time of the year. Everything is cold and bare here. Today was close to 40 degrees though, and I didnt wear a coat. I could almost smell the scent of Spring being right around the corner. Could've been wishful thinking......

This weeks theme was SELF PORTRAIT.
Yup. EEEK was my first thought. But....I decided that I could find a way to get creative. Last week when it was mentioned that we would all be doing the same theme of self portraits, there was no mention of "face only" (I just read your post Megan) :0) So seeing that I am 6 months pregnant, I figured the best way to show what I am all about right now would be to get in the BELLY! Plus, Christina has been asking for a belly shot. So this one's for you C! I had a plan in my mind and I think I executed it ok. It's not as clean and crisp as I would have liked it, but it was the best I was going to get.
I love how Christina made hers so casual and told a little about what she loved. Who wouldn't love these new kickin' boots she just bought?! The processing of muted colors with the black and denim is so great to me. I also like the texture and angled lines of the fence she is sitting on.
Also, it seems every week that unintentionally each person has matched so well with their partner on their theme's. I am expecting that will be different this week for self portraits. I just couldn't get Christina to do a belly shot no matter how hard I tried! :0) In any case, I would normally put her photo ahead of mine, but I liked how when I positioned them with mine first that we are facing each other.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's shots for this week!

Oh, how I have been thirsty for some macro lately.
I love the delicateness of the details when you get up close. How fragile and crisp everything looks from such a short distance. How the 'big picture' isn't always the best way to look at a situation. Sometimes if you just peer in a little closer than normal, you find something spectacular...Something different....Something unexpected....Something beautiful.

It's week 4 of Team Up Thursday. This weeks theme for Christina and I was VARIETY. I loved how Christina caught VARIETY at her Central Market. I never even thought of the different things you come across at a market. A bulk food bin was genius! The first thing that came to mind for me was colors....Hence the colored pencils. I guess I cant wait for Spring to get here because I am dying to get outside and shoot some color too.
Looking forward to seeing every one's post this week!

Since we had picked the theme WORDS last week, it was only natural that Christina would pick the theme NUMBERS for this week. Right off the bat, I felt stumped, and I think Christina did too. But the funny thing is, we both had our shots taken by Monday of this week.
Shall we play the game "Who took which shot?" since neither one of our beauties are in them this week? Take a guess!

It's week 2 of "Team Up Thursday" and the wonderful Christina and I chose the theme "Words". I am enjoying this challenge so much because it is so fun to not only see what Christina and I come up with, but what everyone else comes up with. I think its great how we all chose our own theme's because you get something different at every blog you go to. Plus, new blogs are coming to my attention that I didn't know of before. That's always fun in itself.
This week, you can probably figure out who took which shot. :0) But for anyone new to my blog, Christina's is on the left and mine is on the right.
