Day 11
Light from my window.
Day 12
This was a complete accident.
I was walking to get in the shot and the camera focused and caught this.
Evening window light.
Day 13
I took this one in the evening with the light fading.
I faced the direction the sun was setting so there would be light in my eyes though.
I thought for one second that maybe I should fix my red cheeks.
Then I remembered how boring perfection is.
I love imperfection.
It makes you beautiful in your unique way.
I will sometimes touch up a blemish if it bothering me.
I am usually too lazy to use makeup to fix it.
But I love the textures in peoples skin.
I really do not like softening it.
Be you.
You are pretty great.
How I got the shot.
I thought it would be fun to share a similar shot I took during my 365 project in 2010.
Has it really been two years since I took a daily picture of myself?!!
Shot with my D300s, 50mm, F/2, Shutter 1/1600, ISO 320.
I said that I was hoping this newest photo project would help me to explore new areas of my yard and this is a spot I do not use often.
This is what I saw when I came out my door and decided it would work.
I decided to put the sun behind me as it was 4:18pm and still a little bright to be on my face.
I loved that after I sat under that tree I realized what an amazing place it was to just listen and breathe.
Birds were singing, the sun was shinning, I was content to sit and forget about the camera.
Have you set a goal recently to push yourself to grow?
It might be inconvenient but the effort is always worth it for me in the end.
