Just Look What a New Paint Job Can Do

Our Friend's Newly Painted Barn

Same picture taken vertically and then horizontally.

This was taken from a different angle altogether but with the same iPhone. I shot one right after the other and look....different coloration and NO blue sky and clouds.  Do any of you have a suggestion for remedying this on an iPhone.

This "Beyond Beyond 2" assignment 6 was to shoot from straight overhead and then once again to let light set off the picture. Buddy is an organic gardener, and these are some of his little bean babies he saved from last year. The rosemary is some we wintered over just by chance in this little vase.

In the Picture ~ {a piece of me} ~ 52 in 52 ~ #1

WEEK 1 
of 
{in the picture}

This iPhone shot represents an important piece of my daily life...me sitting in my car for the 30 mile drive to and from work each day. So what better a way to start this year’s self-portrait challenge than a picture of Genie plopped in the front seat on New Year’s Day. We were going over to my best friend’s house to eat lamb, brussel sprouts,sweet potato pie, black eyed peas and rice (Hoppin’ John), collards, and watch our poor old Redskins lose once again. When this picture appeared on my computer screen, I was shocked at all of my wrinkles. For some reason they do not show up like this in the mirror over my basin. Ah....getting old is such glorious fun.One happy note...the strand of beads I am wearing were given to me by my principal this Christmas. They had belonged to his grandmother, but now they are a true treasure of mine. I’m still awed by his generosity and kindness. They are absolutely beautiful.

Here are the words of our “{in the picture}" leader:

"For this month's theme I thought I'd start us out gently. How about "a piece of me"? When you think of a self-portrait, it doesn't always mean you have to show your whole face. Some of the most interesting portraits can be of an eye, lips, a hand, or shot from an angle that doesn't show your face or your whole body. Remember, themes are optional (and only monthly) so if you have another idea or you are shooting weekly or daily selfies, feel free to think outside the box and go your own 

"way. This project is all about your self-expression.
