Day OneHundred-SeventyEight


It started as a picnic in the park.

Of course I brought my camera for 365, and even brought along my tripod (still hoping to get out of my lull).  The idea was to capture Mom and Cakes mid-swing, feet in the air focused full front.  Could I have wanted anything more difficult?  Timer-mode is hard enough, let alone hoping the focal point stays in tact once the shutter is pressed..... Cakes was a great sport, quite intrigued by the whole process, and just happy to be alongside Mom at the park.  And that's what I felt this image captured.  That spontaneous fun.  Did I get my planned shot?  Well, no.  But the final products were so much more than I anticipated.

What started as a picnic, ended up as a spontaneous MiniSessionWithCakes.....and it just reiterated why I am so in LOVE with what I do.  It may not have been a "lull-breaker" for 365, but it was a reminder that I love to capture those moments in life.... love to capture the art of life.... just love life.

365

About Me

My photo
Grad Student. Wife. Mom. An artist, yogi, photographer, graphic designer, former teacher and expat...photography has been part of my life since I can remember. I love the sound of a shutter clicking, travel, lotus flowers, inversions, backyards, an ice cold G&T, a great pair of shoes, and an inspiring read....just to name a few. I truly believe Ewan MacGregor could be my best friend and I was a dancer in my past life....or at least should have been. (And no, I can't dance.) LIFE IS GOOD.
