Post day for week 12 has finally arrived for the Bloom Forum’s Project 52! This week our theme is “Hands” One thing I LOVE about this project is that sometimes I *think* I have in mind what I want to shoot and then something happens or I find myself at a moment in time that I know I want to capture. This is what happened to me this week.
Saturday mornings, if no one has to work, are usually lazy mornings. As the kids wake up, they usually make their way to our bed and things often turn into a game of “The Claw” You may remember the movie “Liar Liar” where the dad plays this game with his son He pretends his hand is a demon claw and tries to grab at his face… well we have our own version of this game and after laughing at the kids for a few minutes I went and grabbed my camera. Of course… you know what happens then… it seems like part of the moment is lost, but I still managed to get some typical giggles. Cameron even managed to let me get a picture of his new snaggle-tooth look! He lost his first tooth last night! I can’t believe how fast he is growing up!
I also got to use my new Moirai Compositor this week! I WON it as a contest prize as part of The BLOOM Beginnings and Create Workshop that I just started last week. It has been SO much fun ( the class and the Compositor) and I cannot believe how easy it is to use. I haven’t even bothered to read the directions yet, but I will as I know it can be customized so much more. DEFINITELY at super prize! I had my eye on it for months, but because it was a little costly I had put it off. If your a photog.. take a look at it! Its worth the price!
Don’t forget to check out the rest of our circle! Robyn Oakenfold, of Little Bug Photography is sure to have a great entry!
