52Frames - Color

At the suggestion of a friend who already participates, I joined a photography website called 52Frames. The idea is to upload a photograph by Sunday evening taken during the given week that has been inspired by a topic that changes every Monday. Old photos are not allowed so it makes you have to ponder what best represents the subject matter in that given time period. Then, members can comment on or “like” what they see for an interactive experience. The first week was circles; the second was nature; and this week was color. My husband helps me figure out what might work and definitely helps with the final selection. The most common places I take photos is in the neighborhood park and in our old Capitol Hill stomping grounds. We try to take a ride in to DC every week for a morning walk and for a change of scenery - and now as an excuse to find some photo options. In the end the color “livid” was selected. The image was taken at the Eisenhower memorial with two GI’s with the Normandy tapestry and department of education building in the background. The selected color is supposed to be obvious at first glance. Luckily I’m not making a living doing this; rather, the idea is to stay connected every week and it is strongly encouraged to keep the momentum going. It’s a nice diversion. My only camera is an iPhone - I gave up my Sony a long time ago. So my camera is always with me to capture images for this daily blog. Now I have another reason to use it.
