more color, more challenges

 Day 22 of 30 Day Challenge - Hands

Ever really thought about how expressive hands can be? 

 Day 21 of 30 Day Challenge - Faceless Self Portrait

 Picture color - Corrugated Color

Texture and color and how shadows can play such a part in the interestingness of color.

This is a detail on our fireplace - a fluted travertine edging.

Picture Color - Inspired By

This was hard for me.  There are so many photographers that inspire me.  This was taken with Justine Gordon in mind.  She takes such beautiful simple shots that always have the most incredible lighting.  Lately I have been really inspired by the beautiful photography of Sigi Kolbe.  I have a long way to go. I have many wonderful teachers I have found on Flickr.  If in the end I become a mere fraction of the photographer that some of these people are - I will be happy.

Well really, I am happy and amazed at how far I have come in a year's time.

A little catching up to do

Some catching up to do.  First, 30 Day Challenge 17-20

bokeh, something orange, shoes and technology.

Bokeh

I have a "Bling Fling" to attend tomorrow.  So, I have been gathering Bling.  Now I just need to decide if the tiera is too over the top. 

Something Orange

 Orange is good.  One of my favorite colors.  I always tell people that there really isn't a happier color than orange.  Once again, I can't really wear it - but I love it anyway.

Shoes

Its officially summer tomorrow.  I've worn my sandals a couple of times but ended up with popcicle toes.  Hasn't really been warm enough - but I am ready.

Technology

iPod, iPhone - love it... Technology.  Think of all the technology that has come about in our lifetime - now think of it in terms of your parents or grandparents.  It is really pretty amazing when you put it into perspective.

Picture Color - 17-19
Haven't done today's yet.  Still working on it

Seeking Sun

Looking for sunflares and how the sun changes colors when photos are taken right into the sun.  It was a amazing sunrise Friday. 

 Picture Calm

Blue is calm - candles are calm.  Its a nice way to wind down at the end of the day.

 Personal Color

Berry Sorbet was my color last year.  I haven't really found the signature color for this year yet.
