smooth {168/365}

posted by on · 10 Comments

The prompt for Day 12 of Creativity Boot Camp is "smooth".

O.M.G.

I struggled with this all day.

ALL. DAY.

ugh.

I'm not even going to start listing how many things I tried or how many shots I took.  They were all crapola in the end.

And honestly?  I think it's just me.  I think I've been my own worst enemy today.  And holy hell, I'm cranky.  I don't think cranky and creativity mix well.  And being cranky is not a natural state for me.  I like to be happy girl.  Being cranky makes me ... well, cranky.  heh.

My shot for today ...

smooth 168/365

And how was YOUR day?

heavy metal {160/365}

Day 4 of Boot Camp and the prompt for today is "Heavy Metal".

This one totally stumped me.  A million ideas, but nothing that was sticking and omg some of my ideas were downright NOT do-able.

Who knew my Husband would protest to barb wire wrapped around his forearm?

What?

Pansy.

I had other ideas ...

  • some kind of take on the iPod silhouette, maybe daughter with headphones?  maybe, but she's uncooperative. hmmmmm ... next!
  • slap the iPod on the table and maybe put some headphones beside it? nah
  • Hey! take a pic of my ac/dc cover!  ... omg snorefest Janice ...
  • metal, metal, metal ... hmmmm ...
  • storm drain? no, it's raining
  • tow truck lift thingy?  NO! it's raining.
  • I could go down to the train station, maybe shoot the train wheels and stuff ...
  • or hey!  what about the car lot? there's a nice corvette there!
  • Airport!  Airplanes!
  • Hello?  It's r.a.i.n.i.n.g. (and the airport is far, dork)
  • heavy metal chains ... hmmm...
  • ooooh wrap a chain around the husband!!!  yeah, we don't have any heavy chains ...
  • it would be cool if I could wrap one around his arm, be all lift-y like ... y'know ... heavy?
  • why don't I just wrap the iPod cord around his arm?

hmmmmmm ....

Heavy Metal ... get it?  huh?  music?  heavy?

How 'bout this?

alternate - Heavy Metal, 160/365

No?

c'mon!

Scattered, I tell ya.  My thought processes make me giggle sometimes.

I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying Boot Camp.  I may need to stalk Maegan when we're done and bother her for daily word prompts.  How am I supposed to go back to wondering around aimlessly, camera in hand?  How?

Much thanks to my Husband for indulging my "c'mere, I need some muscle" demands even though he felt like a doofus standing outside like that, flexing and wearing my shirt.

No, that's not my shirt.  Don't be silly.

got snow? {58/365}

posted by on · 5 Comments

Somehow, it seems I'm to blame when there's snow in my driveway and Husband has to shovel.  Like I put in a request to Mama Nature to shower the white stuff down upon my drive and force my man into winter slavery.

But I've discovered that the grumbling eases up a bit when I whip out the camera!  ha!  (I's the smartness)

"this is all your fault woman!"

But then look what else might just happen ...

I said I had to quit you, but I didn't say when :)

See?  This is why I heart that lens.

canon 100mm - f/2.8  ISO 100  1/250

And here's where I embarrass my Husband and tell you that I made HIM pose for this.

With my girl-y mittens.

Oh yes I did.

I probably should've found some mitts that matched though :p

little surprises {41/365}

"Pick a hand,"  he says.  He holds two fists outstretched before him, the third time he's done this in as many weeks.

"What are you doing?" I ask him, "It's not my birthday yet!"

"It's a Valentine," he says.

"It's not Valentine's Day yet either!" I laugh.

"Pre-Valentine's then!  Pick a hand!"

And I laugh again because this is also the third time we've had this same conversation in as many weeks.

Obligingly, I pick a hand.
