In honor and celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, week 11’s theme in the Nicolesy 52 photo challenge is “green”. These are a few of the photos I took this week.
Last week’s challenge in the Nicolesy 52 photo challenge was “patterns” and this week, for week 10 its “symmetry”. They share some similar elements. For example, if I had known that symmetry was going to be the next topic, I would have saved the photo I took of the brick […]
As you can probably tell by the image above, I have quite a few books by Dean Koontz. He’s one of my favorite authors and I’ve recently been collecting his books by going to Savers. Savers is a great place to buy used books! The 52 photo challenge by Nicolesy […]
Here is Nicolesy‘s introduction to week 8’s topic of “Negative Space”: “It’s always great to fill the frame with your subject, but sometimes giving your subject room to breathe can make a HUGE impact in the photo. Negative space (also known as ‘copy space’ in the commercial-photography industry) is an […]
“Leading Lines” was the topic for the Nicolesy 52 photo challenge for week 7. “Leading Lights” was taken inside the Joanne Fabric and Craft store in Murray, Utah “The Canyon” is a large artwork that is hanging in the Salt Lake City International Airport “Toothpicks”. Still trying to get my […]
The Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge topic for week 6 is “Framing”. Either a natural frame around the subject captured in camera, or a frame added to the photo in post-processing. The blue bottle was a new photo that I took specifically for this challenge, even though it’s not a new […]
I bought this flag and flagpole from Colonial Flag, in Sandy, Utah. I really like it because the top half of the pole where the flag is attached rotates so that the flag doesn’t get tangled up when the wind blows. The flagpole I had before didn’t have that cool […]
“Textures” was the week 5 theme for Nicolesy’s 52 Photo Challenge. There were some very interesting photos submitted by the other photographers. I wasn’t as ambitious. The puzzle texture is from “The Beatles” puzzle that I put together a few years ago and then had glued and framed. The other […]
The week 4 Nicolesy 52 photo challenge is “Motion Blur”. Here are a few examples of photos that I have taken applying this concept. Ellie’s artwork and the “shut the box” game photos are those I took this week and submitted for the challenge. The other photos weren’t taken for […]
My son, Cory, was having an online conversation, probably on Facebook, about Capitalism. Here is an excerpt from that conversation by someone who goes by the handle “AM”: “Self-made is a fallacy, I’m a firm believer in the concept of “Ubuntu.” That I am because we are. This notion of […]
For week 2 of Nicolesy’s Mighty Networks photography community, the 52 Photo Challenge theme is “Silhouette”. I was driving to pick up my granddaughter and saw these trees silhouetted against the sky; so I just had to stop and take a picture, or two, or three. The first photo in […]
I didn’t have any intention of taking photos today of things that are blue. As I walked into my office this morning to get on my computer, i looked back at the three cobalt blue bottles that I had previously placed on the window sill to sit in the sun. […]
I joined an online photography group last year on the Mighty Networks social platform. The group is sponsored by Nicole S. Young, also known as “Nicolesy” and this year on Mighty Networks, Nicolesy is sponsoring a photo challenge that she’s calling, the “52 Photo Challenge”, or “52 PC”. Basically, each […]
