Project 52: Reflections

You’ll have to forgive me my post is going to be short today as I woke up with a nasty head cold on Sunday so am not feeling tip top. I have been trying to catch good shots in reflections all week and it’s been hard. I knew it was going to be challenging but I don’t think I realized how much.

Drum roll please …

I know not very creative, but to me it says a lot. One of the things that I photograph the most is my boys and something about this photo of my catching this act is nice.

Join in on Project 52: Self Portraits

Lynda (from Daily Window) and I are putting up a new linky every Monday and inviting you to participate in this project with us. This week it is here at Pepper Scraps next week you will find it at Daily Window. Each week has a new theme (though this is just a suggestion not a requirement). This is the schedule for February:

1/31: Silly Faces
2/7: Reflections (this week)
2/14: Love
2/21: Favorite Feature

You have a full week to link up with us. There are only two rules:

You should share a recently taken self-portrait
The link should be the absolute URL of your photo or entry, not a link to your homepage. Links to Flickr pages are fine!

If you want to use the Project 52 badge feel free and grab it and use it on your post. You don’t have to do every week with us you can post just once even and you don’t have to follow the weekly theme either. We just hope that you will join us for some fun.

P52: Silly Faces

I’m soo excited! As I have mentioned I have decided to do Project 52: Self Portraits with Lynda from DailyWindow.

What’s interesting is that we both are a little hesitant about taking pictures of ourselves. Ironically, and even Lynda doesn’t know this, but we both are hoping to lose weight this year and are hoping this project to watch the changes!

If you want to join in but your own pictures are not your favorite and you are afraid to share them don’t let that stop you! Let’s get past this fear together!

This is the beginning of what I think may be a really fun project and I can’t wait to see the outcome.

Join in the Fun!

Every Monday Lynda or I will be hosting a link up on our site. I hope you will join in the fun and really challenge yourselves. To help you along the way we will be having weekly themes to help you in your creativity!

Here’s what’s coming up for February:

1/31: Silly Faces
2/7: Reflections
2/14: Love
2/21: Favorite Feature

You’ll have a full week to link up with us. There are only two rules:

You should share a recently taken self-portrait
The link should be the absolute URL of your photo or entry, not a link to your homepage.

I have made up a cute little graphic you can use to link up if you wish. You don’t have to do every week but if you have a great photo you want to share we hope you will jump in and link up.

Silly Faces

This week’s challenge is Silly Faces. I had so much fun with my boys taking photos I couldn’t just choose one so I did a collage. What is fun about these photos is seeing Zane stick his tongue out because he used to not be able to. And to watch Zarek stick his tongue out as this is something new and fun to him. If you want to see all the photos click the image and you can see them on flickr.

Now don’t forget to visit Lynda and link up your own pictures!

Project 52 – self portraits

I was browsing DigitalWoe.com and was reading about lynda doing Project 52. I was ready to jump in, so I contact lovely Lynda and we are going to challenge each other to take 52 self portraits this year. Are you up to the challenge? I am.

This week I took some of my first photos of myself in months. I played with some editing in Photoshop (for the first time) and I’m pretty happy with the outcome!

Now you may be hesitating thinking that you hate photos of yourself but stop right there and read my post about Looking Beyond the Photo. I have more than enough excuses why to not do this (one being gaining 50 lbs this year) but I have one (okay two) reason to do it, my boys.

Lynda will be putting up the linky later today with this weeks challenge!
