Project 52: Week 6 {Words}

So I think I jinxed myself last week when I said that the themes have been easier than I thought.  Because this week when I saw the theme I figured it would be so easy!  Well, turns out it's the one that gave me the most grief so far!  lol

I had a couple ideas but ultimately went with the words on my vintage camera.  I also thought it would be a great opportunity to finally start my 100 possibilities project that I decided to do.

Basically, you pick one object and photograph it in 100 different ways.  When I received this camera for Christmas from hubby I finally knew this was the object to use!  

Here is a photo of me he took Christmas Day 2010 with the camera.

  

Project 52: Week 5 {Muse}

This weeks theme was "muse".  I always seem to panic when I see the theme thinking "what am I gonna do for that?".  But so far so good, I've been able to come up with something each week.  Hopefully I can keep it up.  Only 47 more to go!

There are a few different definitions of the word muse.  These are the two that go with what I was thinking with this photo.

verb:  to become absorbed in thought; especially : to turn something over in the mind meditatively and often inconclusively

She had gone outside to help daddy shovel and when I looked out to check on her she was staring at the icicles hanging from the roof.  Trying to figure out a way to reach them! 

noun: : a source of inspiration; especially : a guiding genius

She (along with her sister) has always been a source of inspiration.

Scavenger Hunt 101 {#6 Winter}

Took this right outside my front door.  It was warm and sunny enough over the weekend for a bit of snow to melt and drip off the house and form these icicles on our bush.  

This second icicle was one hanging from the roof.  Yes we still have our Christmas light up.  It's Wisconsin, they won't come down until June.  That is if it warms up by then!

I was shocked that I actually captured the droplets falling from it!

Project 52: Week 4 {Soothing Repetition}

I had trouble with an idea for this weeks theme.  The patterns the lights made outside the movie theater caught my eye so I went with it!  I only had my little point and shoot with me though, but it works in a pinch.

Scavenger Hunt 101 {#9 A junk car}

We took the kids to Monster Jam 2011 last week.  These are a few of the junk cars they used during the show.

Project 52: Week 3 {Shades of Grey}

Alphabet Photography {Letter C}

Project 52: Week 2 {Illustrate a Song}

"Catch A Wave" by The Beach Boys

When I first saw the weekly theme I had no idea what to do.  I tried asking my family what their favorite songs were and they were just being goofy.  I got a little frustrated.

Then while driving near Milwaukee's lakefront we came across 4 guys doing a little surfing and it came to me!  Though I never expected to be illustrating this particular song with a photo taken in Wisconsin in the middle of January!!  The temperature that day was 22 degrees with a wind chill of 7 degrees.  I have no idea what the water temperature was but I'm sure it was way too cold for me!

Scavenger Hunt 101 {#22 Your Bed}

For some reason this was harder than I expected.  Took me awhile to get something I liked.
