Boy, I don't know what it is, but I have struggled with the photo challenge prompts these last few days. I'm participating in Fat Mum Slim's Photo-a-Day Challenge and until this week I've felt like I was able to creatively interpret the prompts.
I guess I have photographer's block? Take Sunday's prompt, for instance: breakfast. My usual breakfast is a bowl of oatmeal with a little bit of milk in it. I'm not sure how to put an interesting or creative spin on oatmeal. I suggested to my husband that we go to Sunday brunch somewhere, envisioning beautifully presented buffet tables and a ton of photo ops for the prompt "breakfast". But really that didn't seem fair. :) Besides, part of the appeal of this challenge for me is that it helps me capture everyday life. And everyday life for me, for breakfast, is oatmeal.

Monday's prompt was "key." Again I was not feelin' the creativity here. So I just set down my keys, zoomed in, and clicked. Done.

When I'm getting my hair done at the salon, I always indulge in the guilty pleasure of reading the entertainment and gossip magazines. I love to look at them, but I don't read them regularly. Only at the salon, the dentist, or if I'm flying on an airplane. Yesterday, I had a hair appointment. And I was on the lookout for a fitting way to capture the photo challenge prompt "your name."
March 27: Your Name
I think "Duchess" looks very good in front of my name, don't you? ;)

And speaking of the entertainment and gossip magazines, today's photo prompt is "trash." This was another tough one. Feeling uninspired, I grabbed my iPhone and snapped a picture of the trash in my car.

You know, they say that you can learn a lot about someone by their trash. (No, I'm not talking about the "Caution: I'm Hot.") I'm talking about the coffee and chocolate. Now that's everyday life.

Haha cute post! The "everyday" spin was very interesting anyway! Lol. Your trash SOOO looks like mine except "hot" would be "cold"
ReplyDeleteI like that name thing very much. Your photographs are always brilliantly done.
