Putting My Face On Paper

It's "Paper" week at I Heart Faces. Some of my favorite pieces of paper are those with pictures printed on them. I've always liked this behind-the-scenes picture, especially the contrast in expressions---and people wonder why I take as many pictures before the performance as I do of the performance!...Head on over to I Heart Faces and show us some of your favorite paper shots....

"Orange " You Proud?

Sorry about the title for the post, but I just couldn't resist. This is "Orange" week at I Heart Faces. I thought about using something from the Harvest Festival, but I figure there will be a ton of adorable fall or Halloween pictures. I wanted something just a little different. Then I remembered this picture. Our ladies' group at church just had a meeting where we all wore special aprons and shared our apron stories. This woman had just created this apron with her grandson that morning, especially for the meeting, and she was truly a proud grandma! And I must confess that I was so intent on getting a good shot of the apron, that I didn't even notice that her left arm is in a truly odd position. Sometimes I just don't see what's right in front of me! Anyway, you can head on over to I Heart Faces and see lots more orange---maybe even toss an orange picture of your own into the mix....

Singing In The Pink

The Children of the World International Children's Choir came to our church yesterday. They were energetic, inspirational and adorable. The children didn't wear ANY pink at all during their performance, but I always like to arrive at such events early to take some practice shots during the warm-ups. Lucky for me, the girls all had matching shirts that included pink during that early practice time! The theme at I Heart Faces this week is "Pink" in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Head over there to check out the rest of the world through "pink lenses" and maybe share your own pink picture...

HOP, SKIP AND A JUMP

The theme at I Heart Faces this week is "Chalk". At first, I didn't think that I had any pictures that would qualify, but then I remembered this Bible School recreation from a few years ago. You already know I love action pictures, so I'm pleased to share this one. For more adventures in chalk, head on over and check out the other entries---join the fun and add your own!...

APOLOGIES TO MR HITCHCOCK

I loved taking this picture! Yes, it's staged, but it was their idea and I thought they did a good job with it. The title, of course, is because the picture reminded me of a scene from a well-known Hitchcock movie. For more vehicular antics, head on over to I Heart Faces and maybe add in a little fun of your own!...

SAFE!!!

I love taking pictures that tell a story--- maybe I'd like to be a photojournalist when I grow up. Thanks to the photojournalism challenge at I Heart Faces this week, I get to dabble in my dream a little bit and indulge my passion for all those pictures that lead up to "The Moment". These pictures are from our church softball league championship game---and yes, we did win!

Santa Incognito

It isn't always the summer sun that makes those sunglasses necessary---sometimes the stage lights are just soooo bright! This is "Got to Wear Shades" week over at I Heart Faces. Stop by and see who else might be appearing incognito there. Maybe it's someone you know. Maybe you could add a picture into the mix, too....
