Category: Practice Makes Perfect

Last week, when I came up with the idea to do this weekly photo challenge, I was much more relaxed. I’d successfully completed four full work days, after a long(ish) two-month break. This week was harder, but it was hard in a good way. I feel like a lot of good lessons were learned.

Here’s another lesson… don’t waste energy making excuses. If you didn’t do something you were supposed to do, for whatever reason, just own it.

By that, I mean if you really feel like you have to explain yourself, just tell the truth. If there’s anything worse than a lame excuse, it’s a lie.

I did not set time aside to focus on this week’s PMP challenge.

There, I said it. Because I did not set time aside, I don’t have very good examples to share.

I’m actually more excited to see what others did than sharing what I captured.

PMP #1: Eye Power

Sometimes, eye contact is good. Sometimes, it isn’t. It can change the entire mood of an image. How well did folks do demonstrating the power of eyes in an image?

In the first image, my husband appears to be reading, peacefully.

In the second image, I asked him to look at the camera.

UPDATE: The theme for PMP2 is… Ground, Texture. I’m going to work on this one. 😊

Participants should comment below and include a link to this week’s images. Please link back to this post. Don’t forget to let others know that you saw their shots and, kindly, let them know what you think.
