Lifestyle Photography: Week 2

Part 1: Point of View

Why did I choose to photograph flowers? I have no idea. It is not a strong subject for me, but I thought it would provide a lot of options for this assignment. Let's just say, it was challenging. And I learned a lot. Such as, get bigger blooms.

Telling the Story, Part 1

Taking the plunge, flying by the seat of my pants, keeping mild panic at bay - this is what it felt like in my first week as a participant in Brooke Snow's Lifestyle photography class.

The adventure in learning began during a particularly full week, leaving me with barely 24 hours to complete the assignment. I am not sure I have ever felt so squeezed for time, facing I project I had been eagerly anticipating.

So Fathers' Day became crunch day. We spent the evening poolside with our granddaughter, Piper. I hope the images help you see the fun, and the special relationship between her and her grandfather.
