Scott Bulger has a photography challenge on his blog to photograph something "dead" and turn it into art. Well, with the kids all being home today (keep in mind I'm posting this on Tues for it to run on Wed, love the blogger magic post) I told my 2 older kids about it and sent them both on their way with cameras in hand in search of something to photograph. Part of my reasoning was to get Ashlyn and Christian to do something together and like it and get along. Well, they ended up fighting about 5 minutes into it so I didn't get much from Christian but the above photo is something Ashlyn did. I think she did pretty well :)
Now meet the photographer:
My beautiful daughter Ashlyn. I can't believe my baby girl is 14 and a freshman in high school already....how time flies...
When you read this in the morning, we should have a brand new president!
It's very beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteVery great post Tanya !
ReplyDeleteCongratulate Ashlyn for her artistic photo. She has a nice smile. - Dave
ReplyDeleteP.S. Congratulations to President Obama and those who voted for him. Thanks from the rest of the world! - Dave
ReplyDeleteWell done Ashlyn. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYou've made a wonderful thing asking your kids to take the challenge and I think your daughter did it pretty well!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new president!!!
Ashlyn is very creative, and beautiful. She has a lovely smile, and reminds me of Carrie Fisher in "Star Wars" I can't remember her name in that movie, someone help me out!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes they do grow up to fast.
Also Ashlyn reminds me of "Webradio" ;)
ReplyDeleteThe black and white is perfect. Great photo Ashlyn!
ReplyDeleteCool post Tanya!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely smile,Hello Ashlyn.
ReplyDeleteA good use of B&W,your Mom has good reason to be proud!
Yes, she really did do a good job & the Black & White just pushes the extra mile! COOL SHOT Ashlyn!!!
ReplyDeleteTell Ashlyn she did a great job!
ReplyDeleteExcellent challenge, and a superb example of the idea. From a photographer, you have a budding photographer on your hands. She really has the magic eye.
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation of the theme.
ReplyDeleteI do like her photo, especially the artsy angle.
ReplyDeleteNow, there's a dead mole on my back steps that one of the cats brought up, but I don't think I can make it artsy! Better go get the shovel instead of the camera.
The photo, and the photographer's smile are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis maybe dead but I know what's alive - Democracy!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo Ashlyn :)
that kid goes for the wild angles, Love it!
ReplyDeleteKids are amazing. They see things we could spend all day looking for. Fresh eyes I suppose.I like both photos. How does your daughter feel about her pic?
ReplyDeleteShe did great! (Looks like she gets her talent from Mom). & she's such a pretty, sweet 14 yr-old. My son will turn 14 in Dec. I can't believe it myself.
ReplyDeletecompliments for your kids... :-)
