Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Bokeh:
I was nervous about capturing a good bokeh. I know how to, but usually it's because of what I am focusing on. But I was so excited to capture this! The yellow bokeh is so great behind the yellow flower.

Process of elimination:
So, I was super excited to work with this one. I pushed myself to really eliminate excess from my focus.  I was at my neighborhood book shop and found these colorful Moleskins and it screamed picture! Below is what I started with and above is how I eliminated the excess! 

Remember:
I printed up all my summer pictures and was putting them into the albums this morning and had such a nice time remembering all the fun I had this summer!

Statues:
All the fun statues are downtown, and this being the first week of teaching I couldn't go track down Paul Revere. And then I thought of the awesome dance sculptures I have from IKEA! Add a little IKEA lighting, and voila!

Flying High:
I immediately thought of swinging! This little girl was loving the swings on a (finally) sunny afternoon at the playground!

Great interpretations this week. The printed pictures of your summer was a great idea and it made a fun photo. I love the moleskin notebooks and the flying high is so cute! Oh and I love the yellow bokeh too!

Great job on the process of elimination! I also love the statue. =)

You are so good at doing up your albums as soon as possible. I wish I were the same. :(

I* love* the statue photo. Such a beautifully backlit piece. There's a movement in the figure and the lighting suggests she/he is on stage. Great interpretation for remember. And lovely elimination image.
