The photo prompts for this week were portrait, nostalgic, time, full of light, and motion.
Here is what I found….
Portrait.
Hardest thing in the world to do is a self portrait, in my opinion.
Nostalgic.
I came home from my parent’s house with several old cameras.
This one happens to be The One I began with, my own Kodak Instamatic 100.
There were even unused flash bulbs in the box.
There were even unused flash bulbs in the box.
I have lots of great memories connected to this! I thought it was lost for good.
Time.
I thought of the time signature at the beginning of each piece of music.
What if we could move through December “slowly, with expression”?
Full of Light.
I love the windows on my neighbors house this season.
They are indeed full of light, warm and inviting.
Motion.
I went back to the week before to get this photo.
My mom knits all the time.
These are her hands in motion. This always fascinates me.
Probably because I can’t stand to knit.
(Although I do know how to do tatting..)
Have a beautiful Sunday!
Beautiful shots. I agree, self portraits are so hard, but you did a fantastic job. LOVE your interpretation for time and that Kodak instamatic is gorgeous. Fabulous set.
Love your photos. My favorites are motion and time something different.
Beautiful post Deb – I love the self portrait and your take on time.
WOW!!!! Totally lovin' your "motion" capture. Those are some quick moving knitting needles :). Love it!
Kathy
Love how you captured motion – very cool.
Love the thoughts on Legato!! and also especially love the photo of your mothers hands knitting. Hang on to that one!
WOW…how fun….your Time shot is genius!!! great motion shot too….
You found such beautiful images for the words. Yes, I agree about the portrait – I think it difficult as well. I love to take portraits of my daughter, though. BTW, I started out with a Kodak instamatic as well when I was ten. Your interpretation of time is wonderful and so appropriate for this season.
Ohhh – you brave girl – doing a selfie! A beautiful one, as well. I keep being drawn toward that but still haven't had the nerve to point the camera at myself.
Love the flying knitting hands. And the creative interpretation of time – I like that thought of appraching the holidays "slowly, with expression".
Deb, what a lovely self portrait! I love the lighting you used. I had an Instamatic just like that one, with the pop-up flash and insertable bulbs. The first time I used it was to try to take pictures at a Beatles concert. (You can imagine how well those turned out.) Thanks for stirring up the memories!
These are wonderful!! I love your self protrait, the music (brilliant idea there), and your Mom's hands!! You do so well at these scavenger hunts!
We have that same camera in our family…I can still remember the smell of the flash bulb.
great photo finds this week.
I love your self portrait and your time shots.
I remember my Dad having a camera like that with the little flash bulb.
your interpretations are wonderful – I love each one. I had an Instamatic 104 – it was my first camera and I kept if for many years until finally throwing it in a box for Goodwill. I think your self-portrait is beautiful and I agree, it isn't easy to do. I'm taking an on-class about just that – You Are Your Own Muse. check it out. it's great. my favorite is motion. it's an excellent shot. I love her hands. thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hello, I truly appreciate it. happy week to you Deborah.
Great idea for timing!
