And I work with a kick-booty dentist. Who, lucky me, loves photography too. So, when we have the chance, we gab about photography - ideas, struggles and our favorite shots. Recently, after Kelly visited the KC Plaza Art fest (and I sniffled about not being able to go) we had the idea of photo projects. We didn't want to get in the rut of always photographing the same thing (her = 4-month old, me = portraits & weddings) so we created a list of things to shoot.
First on the list was 'red'. Anything red goes, but the overall goal was to compose a photograph that someone might want to hang in their living room, or office, or maybe even the garage. Whatever. Just something cool that people could relate to and/or find interest in. I thought this project would be super awesome. I thought red things would accost me from every angle begging to be photographed. Turns out I was wrong. I think I went over three weeks without taking a single red themed photograph. I just couldn't find inspiration. And then finally, FINALLY, this weekend the wheels started turning. So, here's my 'red' project. I'd say it's incomplete... I'm looking for three to five additional photographs to accompany the set, but here's what's going on so far.
Leaf. I wish you could see photo up close... dew drops on the leaf, taken this morning.
