Project 52 Week 21 “Flowers”

Monica — Thu, 17 May 2012 21:52:47 +0000

I am finding that the more I like the theme for the week, the harder it is to decide on an image. I take a ton of shots, then have to force myself to quit shooting and just pick an image already!! So, this is my choice for “Flowers”. I thought it was light, airy [...]

Project 52 Week 20 “Contrasting Colors”

Monica — Thu, 17 May 2012 21:45:46 +0000

I did post this on the project page, just not on my website, so I am not late, but I was not particularly inspired for this week’s theme, so here you have yellow and blue, my choice for contrast of colors. Next week–or this week, depending on how you look at it, is “Flowers”

Project 52 week 19 “Sky and Clouds”

Monica — Sun, 06 May 2012 16:10:04 +0000

How fortunate for me that this week’s theme, Sky and Clouds” just happened to coincide with the spectacular showing of the Supermoon! So, of course, I had to get my own version of the moon, but I didn’t like just having the orb in the sky all lonesome, so I layered a couple trees that [...]

Project 52 Week 18 “Symmetry”

Monica — Thu, 03 May 2012 18:52:35 +0000

Symmetry is something I usually try to avoid when taking photos, as generally speaking an image is more visually interesting if there are angles and the point of interest is not dead center in the frame. So, I thought I would shake things up a bit with Rebekah’s mugshot…:) The two halves of her face [...]

Project 52 Week 17 “The Kitchen”

Monica — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 02:49:34 +0000

*WHEW* Screaming in under the wire for this week’s theme, “The Kitchen”. This image represents one of those comforting routines that get my day off to an aromatic start… I hope you can sense the warmth…and imagine the scent of freshly pulled esspresso…;) Next Week, “Symmetry”…

Project 52 Week 16 “Technology”

Monica — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:39:44 +0000

What a tough theme! Technology is virtually everything! Every job, hobby or interest has it’s own language, tools, education and development. So, after racking my brain, I finally came up with my idea for technology. I titled it, “The Evolution of Home Defense”…..;) Next week’s theme is “In the Kitchen” I think I can have [...]

Project 52 Week 15

Monica — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 01:01:15 +0000

This week’s theme was “Easter/Fire”. I know this is kind of a cliche image, but it speaks to me of incredible love. Jesus Christ enduring not only the anguish of the cross, but even worse–the unimaginable horror of the full wrath of God on behalf of my great rebellion. Thank you is not enough. I [...]

Project 52 Week 14

Monica — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 22:30:36 +0000

“Night” was the theme this week…. I titled this one, “Insomnia” These are a.m. times I really don’t like to see–even if they do have interesting blurs and squiggles as I peer at them through bleary eyes…;) Next week’s theme is, “Easter/Fire”

Project 52 Week 13 “Playing with Light”

Monica — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 21:47:41 +0000

Now, to a photographer, “Playing with light” could simply be interpreted as, “Take a Picture”, since the word photography literally means, “painting with light”. SO technically, every time a photographer happily goes out to make an image they are ‘playing with light’. However, my interpretation of this week’s theme was to incorporate a lighted object [...]

Project 52 Week 12 “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”

Monica — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 23:41:36 +0000

Definitely was NOT looking forward to this theme–ew…I much prefer shooting–well, pretty stuff! Anyway, I went out to one of our local airports to try to scout out a plane, but no luck, except for on a sign, which I grabbed a quick shot of. Next, I detoured down a few side roads to see [...]
