I just finished an online photography class for beginners and it was still above my head. That makes me sad, huh? But alas I am committed to learn more and grow in my ability to document my beautiful family’s journey and the amazing part of the world in which we live. So, I try even in my complete imbecile-dom and apparent mind block in learning all photography terms (can’t I just say it looks “pretty”:) It will take me months to really learn everything in the 4 week course and I have yet again upped my weird Mzungu stock (is that even possible anymore?) by toting around my notes from class and searching through them as I try to take pictures. My last assignment was fun as I had to document and photograph the words “red” and “happy.” It was also great to have a theme…try it and report back! Here are my favorite shots…..
Red.
red meat, doors, and kanga (by the end of the day the meat is more grayish to be fair)
tungulay.
Happy. them and me.
and then just some ones from yesterday. A crew of screaming and excited watoto could not wait to show off the crab they found in our backyard. It was BIG people.
here is to more happy shooting…..
Lovely Rox! Way to dive in. I love the tomatoes and the meat! The kids were a shoo-in. Keep looking – all of a sudden everything will look like coffee table book photo ops and you'll be right on it.
The photograph of the little girl on her elbow just snatched my heart right from my chest. What a precious child! (THey are all good- this one is just my fav;)
I like the one one the previous blog where his face is covered in sand. That could be a cover of a book about the island. Great pic. Glad I can't smell the meat one.
looking good!!!
