Walking Alone

I'm in agreement with Adam that this was a rather difficult task this week.  You would think that it would be a very easy task, but to come up with that "right" photo, and be in the "right" situation and the "right" time.  I had a pretty cool idea, but I wasn't able to make it work.  So, tonight when I went to Lowell to bring my ring in to be sized there were people walking around.  So I saw these two cute little old ladies with an umbrella and a rain bonnet walking with their grocery bags down the road.  I ran in my heals to try and get a good photo, and I got a decent one, but it had 2 people in it, so really it wasn't a "person" photo.  So I hung out for a little bit, and this lady walked by and I thought, there is my "person" shot.  It's nothing exciting, and all she is doing is walking, but I like the composition of it and the blur you get in the background.  Until next week loyal fans :)

The whole You Me and 52 Weeks thing is a difficult thing to under take.  Every week the hat gives you a topic, every week.  When the topic comes out, my mind starts up; ideas start to pop in, I start to see photo ideas.  This week, not so much.  Nothing came.  I mean the topic was A PERSON, how hard could that be?  It was hard, I see people all the time, I could have easily taken a photo of anyone, doing anything, but nothing came, my mind didn't churn anything up.  So I ended up grabbing my gear and hitting the road on my bike.  I was gonna enjoy the beautiful night and find people.  I ended up at the ball field and found people.  This blog was to push us as photographer, and it did this week. Once at the ball field I wanted to take a photo that captured the essence of the pitcher and I think I did with this one.  It is a person and an athlete.

It was an Adam Topic

It was an Adam Topic that the hat gave us this week.  It should be a fun topic and should lend some interesting photos.  A PERSON.

I feel like crying

Going to the zoo when you were a kid was awesome! You get to see animals from all the world, you got to see real life versions of the characters from Lion King.  Then you grow up.   Going to the zoo now is sad.  I feel so sad for the animals, they look so sad, so captive.  I have to imagine this little monkey is thinking to himself-"great, it's Saturday, gonna be a lot of a-holes today, pointing and heckling."  It makes me sad to see these animals,  and I can see sadness in them as well.  The zoo is depressing, I hope the next topic is fun.

Sorrowful Joy

I had this idea when I put this topic in the hat, so when Adam told me what our topic was I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  And luckily mom is a willing model!  I love the dramaticness (is this a word?) of doing something that is supposed to be funny and happy and making it sad.  And I love the contrast and starkness of the white against the blue.  It gives it so much more drama.  This was a fun project :)

Capturing...

How do you capture SADNESS?  I am not sure yet, but by sundown on saturday we have to post our photos.  So come back and see how we do it.

A BOAT

When you live in Mt.P it is a little hard to find BOATS, but I had a brillant idea to go to Bay City.  I had never been there, and Erica was in town.  It was to be an adventure.  I figured Bay City had to be like Saugatuck or similar-Bay City, it had to have at least a Bay.   So we hopped in the car, and headed east.  I figured we would hit the lake eventually...Not so much, I was actually at one point wondering "it's a great lake, we should be able to find it."  We had to turn around and followed the map and we found water.  Bay City has a beautiful channel, but no boats on the day we need to find a boat.  We ate lunch and looked around, took some photos of eachother and then we saw a boat, a big BOAT.  So here is my photo of a BOAT.
