I am so done with food. I’ve been editing food photos for most of the last several weeks (in my photo editing time, anyway). So today is not Friday Food. It’s Friday Challenge instead.

This week’s challenge was to recreate a photo we love from another photographer. The photographer I chose is Chitra Aiyer (her work is amazing!), and the shot I wanted to recreate is this one. I didn’t have access to the same sort of flower, but I am reasonably happy with what I got.

I loved this challenge – really, really! And I spent a fair amount of time working on it today.

I’m posting a bit late tonight. It was a fairly busy day…I spent a couple hours editing Burger Shack photos today, but I think I was gone for the rest of the day. I had several opportunities for Friday Food photos today, but my favorite was this spinach and strawberry salad we had at our Ladies’ Fellowship meeting.

The Fun Friday photo challenge was to take a portrait of someone without the person being in the photo. I thought this was an interesting challenge. I didn’t accomplish what I really wanted to with this, but here’s my portrait of my teenage daughter.

Day 50! Whoohoo! This is going so fast! Today’s Fun Friday challenge - “Sweet” - fit right into my Friday theme – Food. I made a “sweet” treat for my “sweetie.” This is dark chocolate fudge. I’m not all that thrilled with it, but apparently I’m the only one. Everyone else thinks it’s wonderful!

It took me a long time to get around to my Friday Food today. I’ve been very tired all day…didn’t feel like cooking, so we had Freschetta pizza for dinner. Ken and some of the kids love the spinach and mushroom one with a cream sauce. Weirdos.

I lit this by bouncing a flash of a window and filling with a white poster board.

The Fun Friday Foto challenge was The Color of Love.

To me, the color of love is the olive-toned skin of a man from Nazareth. It’s the sun-bronzed, calloused hands of a carpenter. It’s the black hair of the Heavenly who constrained Himself to a human body. The color of Love is the gray-brown color of a wooden cross. It’s the white of celestial robes. It’s the glistening Light of Heaven. The Color of Love is so much more than pigment – it is the glory of Jesus.

Friday Food! I was so hungry when we got our food at Perkins that I didn’t even think to take a picture. Oops. But Austin gave up his Perkins cookie long enough for me to snap a shot of it.
 

By the way, I think Perkins’ raspberry mammoth muffins are my new favorite food.

In our Facebook Project 365 group we’ve been having a Fun Friday challenge. This week’s challenge is to do a color collage. We choose a color and take photos of that color – I think most of us are putting them into a collage. Here’s mine…

The middle one is another attempt at “poor man’s macro” – it’s not as clear as I’d like, but there is one tiny bit of that butterfly in focus! lol. It was a tiny butterfly bracelet – those butterflies are probably about a half inch tall.

I did two photos for today! (Well, okay – I took more than 2.) My daily theme for Friday is food, so here is my Friday Food photo…

The other photo(s) are for a secondary challenge in my Project 365 group. It was a Fun Friday Foto challenge to take a photo of a character or toy from our childhood. I couldn’t get to the Winnie the Pooh collection I have, so I raided my Mom’s toy box to get some photos of this great little train. I used to play with it every Christmas, and every time I see it it brings back memories of building cities with leftover boxes. I love this little train!

I added the Serendipity books for this one – I loved these as a kid, and now my kids love them too.

(Oh – for those who might wonder about the mats – it’s a Photoshop action I downloaded from here. This one is Sharon’s Mattes, all the way at the end.)
