three sixty five. the many shades of pink.
So last week I wasn’t really happy with my pictures. This week I can say that I’m a bit happier with them. I’m not in love with the first or last shot of the week, but the rest make me smile and that’s what counts.
I was asked if I was going to continue my pink theme past Valentine’s Day and I gave a noncommittal answer but truth be told, I’m kind of having fun with it. And it’s making me realize how many different shades of pink there are! Check it out:
day forty three – “There’s nothing like unrequited love to take all the flavor out of a peanut butter sandwich.” Valentine’s class party at work today, and I got quite a few carnations from students (and teachers). I like the effect the plastic wrapping gives.
day forty four – this heart hopes for spring. While driving around over the weekend, I kept noticing how bare all the trees looked… I’m ready for spring to get here. I had fun playing with this little heart on a stick, although while shooting I remembered how hard it is to shoot against a bright window (the main subject usually gets blown out). Playing with photoshop helped so that I could keep the colors of the background AND the heart (yay for shooting in RAW).
day forty five – i’ll hold on to your heart. I got this idea in my head for a picture and I like how simple it came out. I actually taped this yarn to the wall in the hallway just for this shot (better lighting there) and then when I decided I wanted a permanent one for my room, I went shopping for the screws, etc.
day forty six - happy bench monday, new shoes edition. Over the weekend I went shopping, mainly because it’s my only way to get out of the house these days. I absolutely fell in love with these ballet flats, I figured they would be perfect for spring. Unfortunately I learned the hard way (by walking around the mall the next day with a friend for an hour) that they HURT. Ow. My poor feet are still sore.
day forty seven – “To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.” (Quote by David Viscott) My co-worker got some flowers for Valentine’s Day and since she didn’t want them (came from an unwelcome someone), she let me have them to photograph. This shot makes me smile because in real life the flower is more of a light purple and the wall is lime green. A lot of playing in photoshop made the petals pink (so I could stick with my pink theme). This picture made front page explore, which tickled me.
day forty eight – as it should be. Yup, same flower as the day before. This time randomly playing in photoshop brought out this effect which I LOVE. Wouldn’t it be awesome if flowers like this really existed?!
day forty nine – just breathe. Last shot with the same flower. I kind of don’t like how the note turned out, and in hindsight I think maybe the flower could have been by itself (but that seems too much like the other two shots)… and the colors remind me of day 47. I don’t know. I just liked the flower and it’s starting to wilt so I had to take a picture of it while I still could!
So that’s it. The first 7 weeks, 49 days of the project done. Right now I’m trying to focus on getting through February, I’m hoping to stick with the pink theme til the end. 10 more days of pink… I’m open to pic suggestions!
