I Heart Faces: Photojournalism

by photosuwant on August 30, 2010

For my I Heart Faces submission this week, I decided to go back through the pictures I’ve took this summer and create a collage.  Each shot was from a different month, May through August (because summer does start down here in Texas in May even though it’s not officially summer until June.) It’s his many faces of the summer and happily, they are all sweet smiles from a sweet little boy.

Here are my favorite “Shots of the Summer.”

Fix It Friday!

by photosuwant on August 27, 2010

Today is Fix It Friday! I love this day on I Heart Faces. I didn’t have a ton of time today for my fixes, but I did get to try out Kristen Caldwell’s cloud trick. My first try isn’t quite as fabulous as her’s turn out, but it really brightened this photo.

Here’s the SOOC this week:

Here’s my fix with the clouds, a little cropping and rotation and PW’s Boost action:

Then a vintage one with a cool action I found:

I Heart Faces: Beach Fun

by photosuwant on August 23, 2010

We spent some time in San Diego this year and went over to Coronado Beach. The water was way too cold to swim, but we did play in the sand. I got a ton of cute photos on this trip, but this is the family favorite of them all:

The Sunday Creative: Ethereal

August 15, 2010

I don’t know that my post this weekend is really “ethereal” but my mouse keeps wandering back to this photo. We went to the Texas Rangers baseball game Friday night and they have an exceptional fireworks show after the game. I was playing with my 70-300mm lens and even though they are extremely close up [...]

I Heart Faces: Got To Wear Shades

August 15, 2010

This week’s photo challenge was “Got to Wear Shades”. When TJ was about a year old we found these cute little sunglasses at Wal-Mart. The thing is, he only keeps them on for like two seconds tops. However, when he’s in the backseat of the convertible he will wear then because it’s so windy. Here’s [...]

Sweet Shot Tuesday (On Wednesday)

I totally forgot that yesterday was Tuesday and forgot to post my picture for Sweet Shot Tuesday! Whoops! So, here it is a day late. My friend Brooke from back in elementary and middle school days took some awesome cherry shots and she’s inspired me to take pictures of fruit. I’m on a fruit picture [...]

I Heart Faces: Surprise!

August 8, 2010

TJ has a sandbox that’s underneath his playset fort thingy. We kind of converted that part into a sandbox actually. I think it’s really supposed to be a playhouse. I caught him in there playing the other day through the window and it sort of surprised him. When he looked up and saw the camera [...]

Fix-It-Friday Fun

August 6, 2010

For this Fix-It-Friday, I Heart Faces has provided this picture of this cute little boy. I did a couple of different fixes on this one.  For the first one, I cropped it a bit to get rid of the background and focus in on that pouty little face: Photo #1 “In Love” action – not [...]

You Capture: Summer

August 3, 2010

So I’m a little late on the You Capture this week. The theme this week was summer. We live in the panhandle of Texas, so when it’s not 2 million hundred degrees (see that’s what this heat does to you), we’re trying to spend time in our lovely backyard. Our summer evenings are usually nice [...]
