Week 18: Inside the Artist's Studio


For quite some time, Jonah just wasn't interested in coloring or drawing. We tried; they certainly did several projects at school. However, Jonah's always came back with a few marks that were his and plenty of areas that looked like his teacher was helping and encouraging him along. Recently, though, he has really seemed to take an interest in it and, in fact, today, requested we do a "project." It was very hot outside today, but he was begging us to go outside. So, we took some pages for him to color out onto our patio and taped them to the fence. The idea was to use colored bubbles and blow bubbles at the pages - didn't work so well, but Jonah had a great time with the markers! It was pretty short lived as, even this morning, it got hot pretty quickly.

I had to get a photo in early this week as I have some work travel coming up and time is going to be tight. So, I decided to try to capture something this morning. This was an experiment with a different angle and I kind of like it. Something new for me. Different post processing, too, just to try something new.

Photo - this is my 24mm at f/1.4 and straight sunlight.

This was the finished "project", by the way:

and may more photos of the process here, if you are interested.
