Get pushed #8
My Push from Broken Glass Mosiacs was to take a self-portrait or to take a photo of something in motion with the background blurred or the subject blurred. I think I have now taken a zillion pictures of myself. Glad it's not on film. Usually I am just glad to be behind the camera so I don't have to analyze every wrinkle when I finally see the photo. This time I used the time-honored technique of holding the camera off to the side and clicking. I always look too serious, but the arm out-to-the-side method is awkward. Even forgot to comb my hair this morning. No one noticed. Do I look like a librarian?
If I were to take a photo of something moving - well, I can't take photos of my students without their permission unless they are unrecognizable. Let's just leave it as - the opportunity to take pictures of runners, joggers, and speeding motorcycles is not likely to happen on my road. I did capture a speeding car, but not much of it. The birds were all gone before the camera, or photographer, was ready. This was a hard push since I don't usually think about taking my own picture. Thanks Sheri. §;¬)
