#16 Photography challenge

Today I'm sitting here...tired, listening to the thunderstorm outside, and completely out of ideas. I flipped through the pages of my idea book and yet I come up with nothing that jumps out at me today. So for this week, I challenge you to take your camera and tilt it ever so slightly so see the world from a different angle. Whether you are photographing a flower in your garden, your family member, or something like your favorite chair...try this approach to tell the story in a new light. It just might make it more interesting. Become a photographer. Seeing your canvas through the eye of your camera. I have a friend who is mastered this and her photos come out so unique, they almost look like a professional did them. Give it a go!


Ready, Set, Snap!

-daily grooming
-kids sleeping
-doing chores
-goofing off
-riding bikes
-doing laundry
-playing a sport
-mowing the lawn
-shopping for groceries
-reading a book or newspaper
-playing instrument
-playing a game
-eating together
-praying together
-washing the car
-dancing together
-exterior of the house
-interior of the house
-view from your window
