uh oh, cheerios!

This week's Superhero assignment:

Assignment #4: Photograph a face that mysteriously appears

I'm still waiting for the Virgin Mary to appear on my Pop-Tarts, but this will do for now!

This week's Superhero Journal photo challenge:

Assignment #3: Photograph a heart that appears on your path

I went out into my yard, thinking I might find a heart-shaped flower petal.

No such luck. I did, however, find what I was looking for in a patch of weeds!

Oddly enough, on my way upstairs to the computer to post this, another one jumped out at me. It's a little stretch ... but it's there!

Hello, I'm back!

And I definitely plan to post lots of pictures and beach stories ... but, I feel like I'm late on my homework assignment from this week.

Assignment #2: Photograph something so close, it's hard to decipher what it is

(From Superhero Journal, of course!)

My first attempt was done at the beach, but, even if I crop the full-resolution version, it's still obvious what it is. But, I like it anyway!

(Click on photos to see larger versions. Flickr's 'medium' size is too wide and I can't stand my columns running together!)

I made a couple attempts tonight, but it wasn't working well with my limitations (point and shoot camera*). But then my cat Joey practically insisted to be included in this week's project. (Uh, yeah, you can still tell it's a cat. Oh well!)

Of course, we couldn't leave out Jeter cat as well. (Posey, however, was hiding since she hates Joey).

Update: Posey decided to model for me. I couldn't leave out my little girl!

*I do have a real camera, but it pre-dates digital by several decades and currently, the shutter is jammed. One time we tried to get it fixed, and the people at the shop laughed because nobody there would know what to do with such an antique. It's a Konica, probably from the 1970s.

Today over at Superhero Journal, Andrea (maker of the fabulous Superhero necklaces) posted a photo assignment along with the announcement she was thinking about posting a new creative photo assignment each Monday.

Sounds like fun!

Assignment #1: Photograph someone in a glass of water

My first subject was my cat Joey, but it's hard to keep a cat's nose paws out of a glass of water. I ended up having to hold the glass.

Next attempt: self portrait. I like how I'm also reflected in the stem of the glass!
