Seventh Week - Focus 52

This week I submitted four picture - and none of them are really the theme, even though I tried. The theme was close up.

The first picture is this one:



I love taking pictures at the grocery store, focusing in on one item - in this case, the rows of apples. I thought of the theme in that regard - the close up of apples, one simple, simple item in a very busy and at times overwhelming store.

Picture number two:



This is a lot like one last week, just now it's part of a bigger work. In the comments you can see some close ups of others as well as the bigger work (edited to not show the school name). I LOVE this project, love what the students are doing and I really think that if they it's a good way for everyone to get close up and personal - loving and taking care of themselves.



This is me getting up close with origami. I love doing origami and got a chance to do it with the son. I decided to take some pictures of our work, up close and as personal as you can get with folded paper. These little birds were so cute.

And this is my picture of the week, the one I think best fits the theme.



Close up of the novel I bought and read the other night. It's a close up of the cover design - she always uses visuals to illustrate the theme. We got a little up close with a few characters and it was good.

Every one elses work here: Week Seven

First Week - Focus 52

This week was the first week for Focus 52. I picked three very different pictures from this week to add to the pool because I couldn't commit, so I'll discuss each of them here.



This one is one that was taken out of desperation - later in the day and trying to get one for my 365. However, when I looked at it on the computer, I liked it. I like how bereft the tree looked and how cold the presentation was. This was picture 168 from my 365.



We went to a restaurant and asked for the jell-o cup to go. Apparently you need to get everything in the take out containers - it was in jell-o cup shape in the container until the son attacked it. I like how jell-o looks in pictures - I guess it would be much worse if it had to be in shape.



This one was taken because I liked the arrangement - they had room scents that were themed on different authors. They then had some of the books by those authors. In between the two were animals - owls, turtles and so on. The display was really pretty - the colours were really great and the proportion and layout was perfectly done. Well done chapters peoples.

I think my favourite is the owls. I like the jell-o and the tree is nice but the owls had that little something about them. The pop of red, the greys and greens. I like it.

Week one roundup of the project here. Check it out - these people are good!
