MARCH 5, 2004 – THEME: PERSPECTIVE

20040305perspective

It is amazing how great an impact perspective has! One can view something or someone with a wrong perspective and come to drastically incorrect conclusions.

What is this photo? An aerial view of a river delta? The recently photographed surface of Mars? Icing on a chocolate cupcake?

Any guesses?

(I dug into the archives for this photo. It was taken on November, 23, 2002, while doing this. And that will give it away.)

Runners Away

The theme for yesterday’s Theme Thursday was “desperation.” For my entry, I had a tough time deciding which photo to choose as the best one. I had to get my good Friend D to take a look at the pics and give me her expert opinion as to which one was the best.

My kids and a few of their friends helped me to make this photo. We had a blast making it. I guess blasts are bound to happen when you use a gun as a prop. Yes, it was a real gun. No need for worry though. It’s a Daisy Red Ryder bb gun. (That’s right. Just like Ralphie wanted in “A Christmas Story.”) It was my father’s when he was a boy. It couldn’t even break the skin of a fly anymore. When it shoots, the bb curves. You have to aim 45 degrees to the left of anything you hope to hit!

Well, here are the runners up. (Or should they be called the “runners away?”)

A Day in the Life – Leap Day, Feb. 29, 2004 (Photos)

“A Day in the Life” is a project that I found at sh1ft.org, the same place that the 26 Things Photo Scavenger Hunt originated. The basic idea is to document a day in your life using photos. So here they are. No explanations. You put the puzzle together and figure out what I did through the day.
