I have entered a few of I Heart Faces Weekly Photo Challenges recently. It’s a great way to see some great photography and show off my random amateur photography also. I attempt to be a decent photographer, but I just don’t always have the time to practice my craft.
I haven’t had much time lately to bring out the camera, but I always have my iPhone handy. It has a snazzy thing called a “camera” on it. So alas, I totally took a self-portrait today. I’m a blogger. It’s ok to be a little narcissistic sometimes, right?
I was showing off my snazzy new headband and my new shades. Aren’t they great? I was rockin’ my Lisa Leonard necklace too, but you can only see the chain in the photo.
So for the photo type stuff, I used my iPhone to take the photo and Picnik to edit it. I used the cross-process effect for the color.
To see more photos, which I’m sure are much better than me. Please check out I Heart Faces. Seriously, there are always hundreds of awesome photos posted each week.
I took this photo on a random trip to Disneyland with my mom and Angry Kid. He was being good that afternoon, so he was rewarded with a scrumptious churro. If you look close enough, you can see the sugar all over his mouth. This is a common pose for Angry Kid. As soon as I bring out my camera, he always gets “right up in it”. I should know better, as his favorite song is “Paparazzi” by Lady Ga Ga.
I am entering this photograph in the “i heart faces weekly challenge”. The theme this week is: focusing on angles. I always try and get a great angle and/or original perspective when I take my photos. Plus, Angry Kid is really fast and somewhat hard to catch.
I can’t wait to check out all the other fabulous photos that have been entered!
This is my first time entering an “I Heart Photos” Photo Challenge. I take pictures all the time, perhaps every day. I’m that person with my SLR always hidden in my purse. I can’t help it. I feel in love with Amy and Angie at Blissdom. Really, what’s not to love, they are awesome gals. So I figured that I would start entering some of their weekly contests. I have so many photos in my archives that I’ve never shown anyone or posted. I went through all of my photos and hunted for one of my “better” outtakes photos.
This particular photo was taken at the end of the summer. I went to dinner with some of the gals for their pre-race dinner as they were running the Disneyland Half-Marathon the next day. Of course, we took the kiddos along. After eating dinner, the kids discovered this fountain. It was summertime and it was hot. What do you expect with kids? Well the security guard kept trolling this fountain and giving us the evil eye. We were watching the kids, and it’s not like they were bathing in the fountain.
I can’t wait to participate in more of their challenges coming up!!!
