Rambles about stuff
Last night was class. I walked away with a large homework list. I have to bring in one photo that demonstrates ONE of each of these photographic Elements:
*Emotion
*Straight Line
*Curved line
*Texture
*Perspective
*Color
*Motion
and then create an image made of two of these elements.
That is 8 photos to bring. I need to start taking walks again! I see things I like and take pictures of them, I never ask myself WHY I like it. But that is what this exercise is about, seeing the elements that appeal to me. Some of those will be challenging, I am not really drawn to motion, or photos of motion, and emotion is hard to get because I am here by myself a lot, I am hoping for some emotion on Thanksgiving, family drama always erupts on the holidays. I can at least count on niece to cry over a toy being taken away or a nasty fall. I will trip her if I have to (I won't really)
I have a giant pile of laundry once again, I had it almost totally done, then I got lazy. I need tofind create a schedule for myself.
Tuesdays things:
ew...
*hairballs on the couch
*Paula Deens voice Ya'll (she puts velveta in fudge people! Should be outlawed!)
*the economy
*the focus on christmas shopping rather than charity and Thankfulness
*stinky litter boxes
*piles of laundry
*the silty coffee grounds at the bottom of the coffee
Yeah!
*wood stove kicking out some coziness
*pajamas
*having homework (may move to the other list on Sunday if I can't find dome of this stuff)
*hot coffee
*hot apple cider with whole cloves swimming on the bottom of my mug
*candy canes
*dry november weather
*husbands big squeezy hugs before he goes to work each morning
*luna slept next to me all night last night, curled up next to my ribcage
*sleeping well lately
*two batches of soap made, ran out of coconut oil, will get some today I hope
*autumn colors
*long yoga pants
*clean dishes in the dishwasher
Also I have not given myself a compliment in a while.
Lavender, you are capable. You can accomplish what you set out to do today.
okay, maybe not as much a compliment but a pep talk. Thanks me, I can do it!

"she puts velveta in fudge people! "
??? BLEH!!!!!!!!!! Count me out for that fudge! I have heard of a lot of weird food/dessert combos (you should see our Top Ramen cook book) but that is one of the weirdest!
I love your boots! :))
You could try picture that will evoke an emotion a broken egg on the floor, a lonely walker in the distance something singular in heavy black in white! Black & white often gets a sad emotion; bright colours often get the happier emotion you can play on this red can be romantic or danger just depends on how you use it.
Then for motion try rolling a ball (this may make a cat chase it) but follow the ball with the camera & take a photo you should have the ball (& if lucky cat) in focus & the back ground blurred (you will have to play with aperture extra)
The rest I think you should have no problem with! Just a few ideas Seeya Hugya *G*
I am so relaxed about my images, when I find something neat, I take pictures of it. This assignment is the complete opposite. To have a list of things to find is kind of restricting and closes my eyes to other stuff.
I guess I will go about this in a relaxed manner, have my list and look for anything that may fit somehow.
And Thanks! I wore them last night helping Mr. L unload the wood from the truck. ;-)
Paula is ALWAYS on!!!! Haha! I swear the "food network" should be called the "food network Ya'll!" Thanks for the offer, and no thanks. Ha!
BTW great post and pic , Lavender! :)
Anyway, have fun taking those pics! I'm glad you've been sleeping better as well. That's one thing in life that should be guaranteed, ya know?
