Documenting life in pictures
Yes, I really did meet and photograph David Michael Kennedy. It was kind of like meeting Oprah. not that I’ve met her but if I ever do, I’ll be prepared for that surreal type of experience. I’m out the door for now so I’ll save the story for another time!
Today I’m writing on Today’s Mama with some info a great local deals you won’t want to miss.
This is day 2 of project 365. This is part of a portfolio I’m working on entitled, “Domestication in Suburbia”. It’s about my life in the Burbs. Yup, life with two kids, a house I’m quite dispassionate about cleaning, a fifteen year old blind mutt and an umeployed hubby who drives me crazy, despite the fact I adore him. If you’re wondering, “Is she serious?’, I will tell you that’s not relevant. I found this sweet little Polly Pockets with a piece of star cereal to her head and I thought, “Put in her a in blue raku bowl and that would be awesome!”
The problem with being a part of project 365 (where you document each day with a photo) is that I felt everyday I had to go this amazing shots. No more, I’m going for mediocrity and I’m going to photography the absolute mundane things of everyday. Just watch, a few years down the word some one will call it “fine art” and the you and I will both have good laugh.
There is a project entitled Project 365 and Photographers all over the world commit to taking one image a day for 365 days. You can follow doznes if not hundreds of photographers with the hashtag #365 or #project365 along on Twitter using the app Tweetdeck. It’s amazing, inspiring, and makes you want to push yourself as a photographer. So I started it before and and just got side tracked, so here I am ready to give Project 365 one more shot. This time I’m opening myself up to doing different kinds of work such as mixed media, etc. Here’s my Hero Athena.
Remember in the movie “Hook” when the adult Peter Pan can’t fly until Tinkerbell tells him to think a happy thought and then he really does fly. Well, this shot is for my brother Michael. I’m hoping it will be his happy thought for the day and help him fly, even if just for a little.
