I really have to decide what to keep and what to just leave be!!
I will start with my daily assignments for my photography.
We are going to pretend that Saturday and Sunday just didn't happen at all.
No, really I mean it.
I am not gonna try to catch up, I simply can't and not get farther behind.
I just have to acknowledge that days will come along when I just cannot get everything done and I am gonna have to be okay with that.
Now, I am not gonna go getting lazy on you though, I am talking about extremes! Okay!?!
Day 21: Hands
Would you believe that my husband doesn't like having his picture taken?
Okay...to be totally fair. My husband doesn't like to have his picture taken after a long day of work when he just wants to relax and not have to "do" something else....or be "on".
I really don't blame him.
He especially doesn't want his picture taken when he is sitting in a hot room, at 10:30 at night, working on taxes!!
I snuck one in anyway! hee hee...pretty impressive hands right??!
Whoa...I can't even see my veins, let alone make 'em bulge like that!
This has always intrigued me about my husband!!!
Today, Day 22: Portrait
Ohhhhh, don't you know Shelby was so excited to see the camera today!!!
I woke at 3:48 am and this assignment hit my mind. Just how in the world was I gonna accomplish a portrait with my self set restrictions? I started thinking about who might owe me a favor and could pose for this for me. I decided my Sweet Tea friend who got me into this in the first place, was gonna be my target!!!
Then after getting my kids off to school and realizing that it was going to have to be another stay at home sick day....well, who was left but the Shelbster!!??
I wanted classic Portraiture and set out to accomplish that...Doggie Style!!
Here is the gently look over your shoulder shot, while looking dewy eyed!
And then there is the edgy, out of the box shot, a little angled, a little over exposed, a little drama!
Huh, it is amazing what having a treat in your hand with do for focus!!
Dog focus that is!
Well, a portrait session just wouldn't be complete without a "looking off into the distance longingly shot" right??
And finally, an evenly composed straight forward portrait for those more conservative types.
Shelby hasn't placed her print order yet, but I think she will like the first shot best. It captures that little roll of fat around her neck which garners so much attention around here from the children.
I will take payments in constant adoration and give her a discount for not having a say in the matter!!!
Not everybody gets such a cheap photo session!
Ahhhh, it is good to be back!
I think I need a nap.
LOVE it! I would order the next to last pic of Shelby, if I were her owner that is :) You'll have to tell her I say, "Thank you!" for filling in for me!
ReplyDeleteI do love that one too Rach!!
ReplyDeleteOh and Shelby says "Woof"
