MCP 54 Stumper - Help!!!

So I've been pretty bad about following the themes for the challenge. I submit photos, but I've had a really hard time going with the abstract inspiration.

This week's theme is "What people think about you". I was excited at first.

But then I was befuddled.

Bemused.

Discouraged.

What DO people think about me? I get some of the same things over and over. But what IS my 'persona'?

Help a girl out?

(you can leave an anonymous comment if you need to. )


Update (4/14): Thanks so much for your amazing suggestions. I had this grand idea of having my kiddos write words that describe how they see me (which, certainly, would be even more complementary than those you left! :) )on our mini white boards and hold them up in class. They are totally used to me doing random stuff at school and they ask where my camera is if they haven't seen it in a few days... so I knew they'd be game. Was there time this week? No. Not a single spare 5 minutes to be found. Eh. So it won't get done this week... but maybe next week? (haha!)

Project 52: Week 11

I've been slacking on the Project 52 project... but the weekly themes lately have been TOUGH! Not just stretching my creativity but completely squashing it. Like give a second grader an advanced calculus problem squashed.

This week's theme was "Darks and Lights" and I knew, after MJS's wedding last weekend (pictures to come soon...) that I had the perfect shot.

I just LOVE it. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I can't wait to see what the other photographers submitted!

Pretty Please?

This week's MCP Project 52 inspirations was "words". I like that . I thought about love letters, things my kiddos write to me (and about me... thats another story!), the dry erase marker messages FMG leaves me in the bathroom. We see so many words everyday.


The other night I was sitting on the kitchen counter supervising the dinner clean up and my cookbooks caught my eye. I have my four favorite Ina Garten cookbooks, my PW Cooks, and a wine book on a little shelf in my kitchen. (The rest are in the office bookshelves.) Not only do I love the colors of the jackets and the go-to recipes but I really heart the words on the spines.

The one word that stood out was "home". Where the heart is. In our house, the kitchen is the heart of the home. So does that make my kitchen the heart of my heart?

I love these pictures and I think they are a good, if not a little predictable, interpretation of this weeks theme.
Problem is... I can't decide which one to submit.

Help?
Pretty please?

MCP Projet 4: Week 4

This week's theme?

Muse.

Now I know the whole point of this exercise is to stretch yourself and get out of your comfort zone, but REALLY people?

Dictionary.com defines muse as:

–verb (used without object)

1. to think or meditate in silence, as on some subject.

2. Archaic . to gaze meditatively or wonderingly.

–verb (used with object)

3. to meditate on.

4. to comment thoughtfully or ruminate upon.

 

 

Ok, then.

 

Muse.

 

I'll muse on the photograph and get back to you.

 

Here is Brie "musing":

 

 

MCP Project 52 - Week 4 Photo

Thanks for the thoughts and ideas -- I loved all of them! I took several (dozen) pictures this week, including some last night after I posted and some this afternoon after seeing your ideas.

KJC - I totally almost talked FMG into going to Max's to take pictures of their wine. Should've.

EJH - Wash, rinse, repeat! I just wish I'd had someone who let me take pictures of their sudsy hair because I totally thought about that, too. I think it's the most soothing when someone else is doing the washing!

Here's what I ended up going with:



{I was pleasantly suprised by some positive feedback on my Flickr page! What a fun treat!}

Making tea is soothing. And I'm really pleased with the end result.

Challenge met!

MCP Project 52 - Week 4

This week's theme is "Soothing Repetition"... a little abstract for my taste.

My first thought was my sweet kitty Sachi... then the example picture was of a cat.

Figures.

I can think of lots of things that are soothing and repitious. But how do I capture a picture of it? I guess thats the challenge, isn't it?

Any inspiration out there in blog land? I'm stuck.

(You can leave an anynomous note if you want...)
