#Project52 – Negative Space

This week’s #EverydayProject52 photography challenge was negative space.  For that, I went with my go-to photography subjects- flowers.  I love being able to take photos of flowers, they’re beautiful without any effort from me, and I can usually get some great negative space in closeups. Do you love taking photos of your kids? Landscapes? Flowers?…

#Project52 – Selfie

This week’s #EverydayProject52 challenge was the selfie.  It’s something I could certainly use more practice with, as I always seem to take 20 bad ones for each good selfie.

Project 52 – Not a Morning Person

This week’s Project 52 theme is morning. And let me tell you how much I hate mornings- especially weekday mornings.  Mornings are the time of day that you have to get out of a nice warm bed and get ready to go to work. My biggest problem with the morning is probably that it doesn’t…
