A Photo a Week Challenge: Shy

Shy girl

Most photographers have had to deal with at least one subject that just didn’t want to be photographed. This young lady actually has a lot of photographs taken of her (her mom is a professional portrait photographer; you can see her great work at Melina Moore Memories), but last night she was just not in the mood for me to take her picture.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO OF RELUCTANT SUBJECTS, HUMAN OR OTHER.

What do you consider your most challenging photo get? What subject was the hardest for you to convince to finally sit for a photo or not? How many of us have pictures of the back of a head or a hand in front of a face? Now is the time to post them.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.

2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.

3. Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Joy

Kanvas loves Uncle RussellOur niece loves my husband. At most family gatherings, you’ll find her following him around, asking him to pick her up, and trying to do whatever he is doing. On Christmas Day, she was so happy to have some Uncle Russell time. Her love brings us joy, and we hope that we give her some, too.

Photo bomb

I took my new camera to the piano recital last week so I could play around with it a bit and hopefully get some fun and great pictures. This is one of my favorites. The cutie in the back (and in focus) is the owner of the hands in my Steinway post. Just as I snapped this picture, her younger sister (also one of my students) decided she wanted in on the action. It’s one of the best photo bombs I’ve had the privilege to take.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Infitine

Taylorsville 9th Ward YouthThis weekend, I had the opportunity to work with some of the youth from our church at a service project to do some gardening at Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City. I don’t know if they realize it, but to me they represent infinite possibilities. If they are a sample of what today’s youth are capable of, the world will be in amazingly wonderful hands with the next generation. Well done, my young peeps.
