My birthday is in 10 days. Now, now, I’m not telling you so you’ll get me something, instead I’m telling you because on my birthday I’m going to start a big task. I am going to do a photo a day for the entire year. That's right.... 365 photographs. :-D I’m excited that I’m starting on my birthday because it’s like giving birth to a brand new project on the day that my parents celebrate the birth of the biggest “project” of their lives.
Each day I am challenging myself to take at least one photograph that is print worthy – so maybe at the end, it can be compiled for a calendar or something to that effect. Hey… they say if you’re gonna dream, then you should “dream big!”.
I’m always dreaming. In fact, I dream in color, or shall I say, colors. Aqua, yellow, orange, hot pink, sky blue, bright red, neon green (I could go on and on). Life and everything in it is so vibrant to me. I very rarely do black and white photos because I love the way the bright color prints jump out at you. When I want my photograph to be mystic or reveal that deeper darker part of emotion, that's when I go B&W. But even when I do that, I'm often tempted to let one color stay and POP! - and sometimes that's good and sometimes it defeats the emotion. The next couple of shots are full color feeling, and they POP!
This flower makes me want to stand out in a crowd...
This piece of sky mesmerizes me....
This ladybug reminds me of love....
This rose makes me wanna dance...
And this sunset takes my breath away.
I hope you will take the time to enjoy the moment and let something take your breath away. Life is vibrant!
