No wonder why Manech is holding this cool vintage Pop Corn cup in the last 52 Project photo. We spent part of the day Sunday playing around with it, making up a fun photo-shoot with a pineapple and a red pepper involved in the picture (you gotta go with what's there for you to grab!). It had us cracking up a lot. Manech loved stealing the pop corn cup right when I was about to take the shot. And I would start chasing him around the house which made him laugh so hard he had to stop running. He also loves seating behind the camera and watch the photo appear on the screen. A good reminder that the time we spend with our kiddos is also a good time to get creative, they love it! The challenge for me was to remain still while shooting even though I had a little monkey either pulling on my feet or jumping on my head playing with what was left of a pony tail. But at the end of the day and after importing all the pics in my computer, I happened to really like some of the shots. I mean yes it's personal tastes here but living a fear-free life is also about exposing yourself to the critics whether you are an amazing painter or an amateur photographer. Practice Practice Practice has been one of my mantra lately. I am exploring new medias and new doors are slowly un-locking. I just printed this on regular copy paper today and I still like it. I would like to try and print it on some wooden surface. The best part about it is that there are some great memories of a fun happy time attached to the photo too. I don't see just a pineapple and a pop corn cup, I can hear Manech's laughter too. And so I will be sharing a few more photos of this essay.
