Look around you this week................that's my "challenge"..............
take that camera, and anytime you see "life" I want you to take a picture of that..........
now, let's limit one picture for each day if you happen to see more than one thing..........but ultimately, choose THE one that speaks to you the most......
but here's the catch..............you are going to think outside the box...........
it's not what you see that is life...........material items are not life..........so that beautiful convertible jaguar that is black with gray leather interior and wooden steering wheel, and "what's her face" has her head scarf blowing in the wind on Hollywood boulevard isn't "life"...........(can you guess what i want some day)..........
food isn't life
clothes aren't life
Life is mysterious...................but only comes from the inside..............
this is a personal challenge..........that I will be doing as well..........but we are not going to show anyone, because this is personal...........not for others to critique or criticize...........but just for you..........
we are going to come to a condition within your human soul that has real soul
are you with me?
1) create a photo file entitled "life"
2) put unaltered photos in file
3) go through them within the week, and on Friday, pick the one that 'speaks' to you the most, that says "life" to you
Most Sincerely,

I love this!! I'm already looking around and my mind is racing and slowing down to really drink in this challenge. AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!!
Happy March!!!!
Love this! Can't wait to get my camera out and start looking for signs of life!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Val
That is a great challenge--but just getting a photo that isn't fuzzy or blurred is a challenge for this camera-spaz!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great challenge..... :)
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie I do believe this is a challenge that I would love to do. I see life all around me, everywhere and in everything. Thank you for the inspiration.

Love this idea... photos that I took before blogging ~ were mostly of people.
ReplyDeleteLately, I still take family photos (don't include many in my blog for privacy purposes)
...but for blogging purposes, they are of nature or sweet things here and there...
To me, your photo today says:
"On a scale of 1-30 ... How much is comfort worth to you?"
or
It could mean... "Only 4 lbs. of cozy comfort kept her warm all through the night."
Ann Marie! This is a stunning challenge and so wonderful! You know, I have my camera sitting here, but I can't take a picture here in the house because other than myself at the moment, there is no "life" here yet! But outside, yes.....you have made me think about something I never considered. Thank you for coming to visit with me today! And thank you for the compliment about me looking like Audrey! Others have told me that, and that is a high compliment! I do love black and I am thin....a Mexican-American Audrey; now that is interesting!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week! Anita
this is an amazing challenge anne marie. right up my alley. i love your new blog banner!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge. I'll take my camera on my walk tomorrow afternoon and see what happens. Love the idea of collecting them in a file and then taking a peek at the end of the week. Pics. always look different after they "rest" awhile without being viewed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, and YES if you find the link that you are thinking of I would really appreciate it!
Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful challenge! Have done that with words and poems before but not images. Hmm - that will boost my week immensely.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your challenge too...
What an interesting idea! I take photos of everything (in fact, I've sometimes wondered, Am I crazy? Would anyone else take a photo of this? But because I find beauty in it, I snap away!) but I never thought to put the weeks photos in a file and then pick one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration.
I love your blog.
xo country girl
beautiful;)
ReplyDeletelife for me these days is in the small amount of sunlight I see streaming through my windows every once in awhile in these gray days of winter. sun for me = life:)
I will take a picture soon! thanks for the challenge!
