photo challenge - outtakes

I am learning so much more from my photo challenge than I had ever anticipated

- the prompts, themselves, are meaningless

and yet, each one challenges me to focus on something specific
- while trying something new

- take a different approach
- look from another angle...

So this week, I'm sharing some outtakes

(aka camera dump - but I'll keep it to a minimum)

Clouds - still clicking away at the John Hancock tower,

I like the fluffy cloud reflections and bright blue sky

this was a close runner up - but leaves me dissatisfied somehow
although, I can say the same for my chosen photo...

The color red - technically not an outtake

I took this photo a few weeks before starting - and archives are against the rules... (gasp)

The red cups drew my eye - but the photo is about morning in a coffee shop

From a high angle - I was really just playing
- but laughed when I saw this one
penguins and tie-dye - Laura has always loved color - and LOTS of it
- and I do believe I caught her catching up on my blog :-)

Door(s) - this is one of my favorite Boston neighborhoods

I often walk through it on my way to work - stopping one morning,

hoping to capture the early sun and feel of a city morning

- hmmm, maybe if there was a family leaving for work or school

 - but then, I would have felt like a stalker...

From a low angle

There were so many ways to approach this prompt

This photo is a good reminder to me, 

 that while I'm feeling completely conspicuous,
kneeling on the sidewalk with my camera near the ground

- only one person even notices me

He looks kind of grumpy - but I don't think he really cares

Next week - back on track with Close-up
- which is actually ready to go - but it can wait...

Happy Sunday - enjoy your day!
