Weekly Photo Challenge: Threes

This week’s WordPress photo challenge (link)  is Threes:

In a nutshell, a three-picture story is a way to help you think about storytelling with images. To create a three-picture story, gather:

  1. An establishing shot: a broad photo of your subject.
  2. A relationship: two elements interacting with one another.
  3. A detail: a close-up of one part of your subject.

SuperSat Photo Challenge: Red & Blue

I was remiss in doing this photo challenge (link), so this is LATE. However, my trip to southern California yielded one photograph that lent itself perfectly to this challenge. At first I was going to try to keep it completely in color, but when saturating the blues and reds, the photo went to pot. So selective color was the answer.

This is a photo of my dad’s two bikes; one regular and one recumbent. They’ve been under the tarp for a while and I noticed they had been moved since my last visit. Dad was so proud of the recumbent, especially.

Daily Prompt: It’s Friday, I’m in Love

Daily Prompt for Friday, February 14th (link)

Remember your first crush? Think about that very first object of your affection. Oh, the sweaty palms. The swoony feeling in your stomach. Tell us the story of your first crush. What was it about this person that made your heart pound? Was the love requited? Change the names to protect the guilty or innocent if you must! No judgement here. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Photographers, artists, poets: show us SMITTEN.

Andrea and Andrew’s story is one of second chances…Sweethearts back in their youth, they both moved on and married others. Both subsequently divorced and then reconnected. On their first date after finding each other again, they sat on the top of this lion at the playground in Idlewild Park and talked for hours and hours.
