This week’s theme for LensProtoGo’s 52 Week Project was “Friendship”. I always try to think a little outside the box and what might be “expected” for the theme. So I chose to go the route of timeless pairings of things…like peanut butter & jelly, or oreos and milk in this case. A perfect pairing, a friendship until the end. I … Read More
Week 30 – Water
This week’s theme for LensProtoGo’s 52 Week Project was “water”. Instead of just shooting the beautiful ocean or rivers, I wanted to get my water in some different action. I made our kitchen table soaking wet having my husband help throw ice cubes into the water glass. I wanted to put it in B&W to add to the simplicity of … Read More
Week 29 – Summer
This week’s LensProtoGo’s 52 Week Project theme was “Summer”. I had this idea of light writing with sparklers and spelling “summer”. I wasn’t a hundred percent sure it would be possible, and after several tries of spelling summer backwards I nailed it, and I am really proud of the results. I set up my camera on a tripod, put it … Read More
Week 28 – Texture
This week’s LensProtoGo 52 Week Project theme was “texture”. I didn’t have a clear plan for this one, but my husband and I we were walking around downtown Charleston during the Second Sunday (a day where they close King St. to traffic and let people walk in the road and the restaurants become outdoor cafes, definitely check it out if … Read More
Week 27 – Reflections
This week’s theme from LensProtoGo’s 52 Week Project was “Reflections”. I knew immediately that I wanted to shoot the Cooper River Bridge here in Charleston. I went for a more subtle reflection this week. I really like the softness of the reflection because the water was really moving and there was a lot of wind, and it made for a … Read More
Week 26 – Yellow
This week’s LensProtoGo 52 Week Project theme was “yellow”. My original idea was to shoot this old yellow Chevy truck that one of my neighbors has parked in his driveway…but I don’t know him. So I decided that I would do something cool with lemons. At first I was shooting the lemons, and then I cut a lemon slice and … Read More
Week 25 – Looking Down
This week’s LensProtoGo 52 Week Project theme was “Looking Down”. Once again, I wanted to avoid cliches or the expected shot of staircases, or eyes looking down. I actually didn’t have a clear plan in my mind for this one, and I decided it would just sort of come to me so I went about my day. I decided I … Read More
Week 23 – Blue
This week’s LensProtoGo 52 Week Project’s theme was “Blue”. Which, fun fact, also happens to be my favorite color! I wanted to stay away from all the blue “cliches” like water and sky. I went out shopping for something blue and that would make a cool abstract shot. I went into Pier1 and found this organic wave shaped blue and … Read More
Week 22 – Memorial Day
This week’s LensProtoGo 52 Week Project theme was “Memorial Day”. Being new to the Charleston area, I searched for veteran memorials/statues. I ended up finding this pretty large dedicated war memorial spot in Mt. Pleasant’s Waterfront Park. They have a beautiful statue that is very striking, and the folded flag is unfortunately too familiar of theme of military families, and it … Read More
Week 21 – Fridge
This week’s theme for LensProtoGo’s 52 Week Project was “Fridge”. Which I won’t lie to you. I actually straightened up my fridge before taking the pic. That’s the right thing to do, right? I ended up setting up my tripod and just going for the creepy night look with an unsaturated blue. I could probably use some more veggies in … Read More
