Project24- #6: Fruit or Floral

Monday, 16 April 2012 21:18 Written by Justine


Today’s post is going to be a bit abbreviated. I’m trying to frantically thoroughly get ready and packed for a trip with my fabulous husband! (Side note:  I won’t be reachable via phone while I’m gone but I’ll still be able to answer emails- as long as you promise to bear with me as I type them out on my iPhone!!)  Anywho, today’s Project24 is fruit or floral so I have just a little collection of the flowers that are blooming around my place.  How I really wished this assignment was several weeks out when my hydrangeas (my absolute favorite flowers) were blooming but, as my kids say, ‘you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit’!  I wasn’t the most creative with this assignment but I was having fun experimenting with some textures and such.  Hope you enjoy!  And happy spring!

 

 

 

 

I kinda had fun with this moody one.  Certainly not my typical clean, cheery take but something a little different every once in a while is fun.

 

Don’t forget to check out my friends’ take on this Project24 assignment: Erin Claassen’s beautiful photographic take, Andrea’s encouraging and challenging written interpretation, and Jensen’s double duty (photos and written) work!  I love taking these challenges on with these guys!

Project24- #5: Shades of White

Sunday, 01 April 2012 08:44 Written by Justine

I was first stumped by this next assignment of Project24. I would look around my house at any and all things white (plates, husband’s socks, my shower curtain, even toilet paper) and wonder what to photograph and how. But then it hit me mid-week last week when our school took a field trip to the Mt. Shasta Ski Park! There would be white stuff everywhere! While my girls and I played in the snow (Husby and my son were off boarding the slopes) I tried collecting different images of purely shades of white (in order to stay true to the assignment). But I was bored with the photographs I was making. And I once again rediscovered that I so love color! Black and whites can be stunning, dramatic photographs but I’m a girl who gravitates to color!  Give me the pop of an orange and blue complement or a soothing wash of yellow and green.  So, instead, I turned my lens to my playful kids and figured, while the images I collected may not be solely shades of white, it would be a prevailing backdrop. Hope you enjoy these- and can forgive my artistic interpretation slight deviation from the topic.

 

 

Oh, yes!  These neon red pants are my fabulous “retro” ski pants from the 1980′s.  There’s no losing me on the hill!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using Dad’s board as a sled- it works well in a pinch!

 

 

AND, just so it can’t be said that I didn’t follow the prompt: Shades of white!  (Yes, super corny I know!!)

 

 

And since spring has decided to show itself in the last few days around home, I thought I’d better capture some true shades of white.  I absolutely love our fruit trees- beautiful blossoms in the spring, delicious fruit later in the year!  These blooms happen to be our Asian Pear tree- cannot wait!!

 

 

 

 

Now that you’ve had a chance to check out my thoughts and captures, please go visit my wonderfully talented friend, Erin Claassen’s blog for her take on this week’s project!  Also, check out my good friend Andrea’s blog on a written interpretation of “Shades of White”- she’s going to be joining us in our Project24 adventure in written form.  It should be great to see another artistic interpretation of the various assignments through the year!!
