dear pink roses : in any shape or form : i love
Hi Everyone -
The lovely Julia has a really neat Self-Portrait project on her gorgeous Red Otter blog. Basically, you photograph objects that reveal something about yourself - interests, hobbies, etc. I really enjoyed this project as it gave me a reason to include more than a mere teacup in a photo and to try my hand at photostyling, which is really hard. It must have taken almost two hours to just set up the shot. I know I will look back on it as a cornerstone in my photography hobby though and that's pretty big. I'm glad it was for the nicest person.
Please visit Julia to learn more about the project (try it yourself) and take a look at my photo (it's not this one), which is all about pink roses. Thank you Jewels!
xo, Cindy

ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful Cindy. Congrats to being first out - it will be hard for the rest of us to follow. I can't wait to see what jewels and the rest of our friends come up with. Thanks for the nice veteran's day contribute. So true and beautifully said.

ReplyDeleteBtw...I got my new camera yesterday. I used it a little today, and am in disbelief as to how I ever made it with my other. Thanks for your help with all that!
As soon as I can find the time, I'm going to give it a go. It's a great idea. And sounds like fun. Nice pic, by the way!
ReplyDeletethanks jen, candi and risamay! good luck with the new camera candi.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous composition Cindy and what special items you pulled to illustrate your self portrait...just love it!
ReplyDeletethanks to you both - high praise indeed!
ReplyDeletewhat I love about this is that I could have looked at it without knowing who's it was and guessed it was yours...that's a beautiful thing...not to mention it is just simply a beautiful photograph...xo t
ReplyDeleteoh, that's a good thing traci. thank you!
ReplyDeletei, too, love pink roses. this and your contribution to the self-portrait project is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. I love this project. I just may have to try one myself! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI agree with Traci..I would have known it was you without seeing your name! your signatures are everywhere, from the ladylike china to the little floral patterns to lovely way the light hits in your rose photographs! Perfect.
ReplyDeletethank you - your lovely comments mean so much. xo
