ten on ten | may edition

Short on words this month, but not on a day of long needed family time.

Our ten on a Saturday with no early morning wake up, no sports, no recruiting, no birthday parties, no running up and down the freeway.

Just us.

Hangin’.

I can’t believe we are coming up on one year of tens!

project 52 | laughter

I’m baaaaaaaaaack.

After first trimester morning sickness hell.

Only it lasted longer than the first trimester.

And I would just like to meet the person who coined it “morning” sickness.

I know the end product makes it totally worth it, but…

I’ve been humming Gloria Estefan’s song “Coming Out of the Dark” all this week.

It seemed fitting.

But this post is not about me.

It’s back to Project 52.

The theme this week…laughter.

This dude makes me laugh.

(OK, he makes himself laugh.)

 

The idea is simple.

52 weeks.

15 photographers.

1 theme each week.

Project 52.

Now head on over to central maryland photographer jessica nelson for her take on this week’s theme.

characters | stephen

i was first inspired to start doing more street type photography at the FIND workshop.

honestly, walking up to strangers on the street to ask to take their photo is a wee bit intimidating.

but then i saw zach arias talking about finding “characters” to photograph and was inspired all over again.

so, here is my first attempt at photographing a character.

he is not really a stranger.

he bags and takes out my groceries every week.

always with a smile and a funny story.

he is a jack of all trades kind of guy…

tuskeegee airman turned pastor turned motivational speaker in addition to his moonlighting gig at the grocery store.

when i ask him how his day is going, he responds…

it’s a good one. my wife kissed me today.

meet stephen.

he just turned ninety.

Mille’s godparents came in town.

Whenever he sees them, Chad always sacrifices his hair to Bryce and Kennedy’s House of Mohawks and Bumper Curls.

They are now taking appointments.

And to see more silliness, head on over to Stockton, CA photographer Karyn Johnson to begin the blog circle this week.
