This week’s theme is “Stormy Weather.” I’ll cheat a little this week and use a photograph I took in January. This was shot on January 22nd at 7:30pm. It was dark outside and if I remember correctly, we were under a tornado watch. The storm clouds seemed very ominous. I set the camera up on a tripod in our driveway and took a 30 second exposure. After leaving a comment below go over to Cheryl Weaver’s picture for this week.
This week’s theme is “Lion.” I understand the idea behind the theme since this is the beginning of March, but it was a little difficult to come up with an idea. I was tossing ideas around in my head, but none turned out to be practical at the moment. I decided to take a walk outside around my office and find someone interesting to photograph. I watched an interview earlier this week with Zack Arias. He’s a very successful editorial and commercial portrait photographer based in Atlanta. I’ve followed his work for several years now and he has always been an inspiration not only with his photography work, but also with his artistic philosophy. He emphasized the point to photograph what is available to you locally. When he mentioned portraits, he recommended that photographers need to find “characters” to photograph. That’s exactly what I did today. I walked around until I found a “character” to photograph. After a couple portraits, I told him about my 52 week photography project and this week’s theme. I asked him to act like a lion and I snapped the picture below.
This was very fun for me and something I need to start doing more often. I have a very difficult time approaching people and asking to take their portrait. Hopefully it will get easier with time. Let me know what you think about my picture by commenting below, then head over to Patti Crump’s blog to see her version of this week’s theme.
This week’s theme is “Alone.”
I must say that I’ve been very blessed and have not felt alone in a very long time. Yesterday was my birthday and it was nice to be reminded of how much I’m loved.
I’m kind of stretching on the theme with this photo. It was a shoot I did yesterday for a Searcy jeweler. I photographed several of their engagement rings. I guess people that buy these rings are ready to make a lifetime commitment and plan to never be alone again. Yeah, see… kind of a stretch. Enjoy! Don’t forget to leave a comment below, then head over to see Cheryl’s blog post.
I’m cracking up at my picture right now. This week’s theme was “together.” I had a whole different idea planned for this weeks image. I even shot my idea, but the image below only came to fruition after I sat down at the computer to edit. I love taking the theme and trying to put a different spin to it. This is a composite of me and my wife. I think we’ll order a large print and hang it up in our living room xD
After you’re finished laughing at us, be sure to check out Laura’s picture on her blog.
Eh… It’s been a busy week and I had to forgo the picture I originally wanted it take for this weeks theme. This week’s theme is “Love.” I don’t have anything fancy today. Sorry 
This is just a quick cell phone picture of me and the two loves of my life. I know it’s cheesy, but come on… how is this not cute?! Don’t forget to head over to Erin’s blog for her picture.
