That's a sad lesson.Instead, for my first submission, I was able to capture a neat juxtaposition of sleeping elements:And my second submission was an attempt to capture what it feels like when I first crack my eyes open

This wasn't originally intended as a submission, I just came up with a fun way to present Rachel with her birthday present: I set up a room divider as a backdrop and suspended a fairly bright LED flashlight above it to serve as the spotlight. The LED light and the long exposure made the photos a bit grainy, a problem I tried to counteract by messing with the contrast and saturation a bit.

What will it be? Six more weeks of winter? Or is spring just around the corner? I wonder what our neighbor Punxsutawney Phil will say this year. To salute him, I say we all take a look out for our shadow.This week's challenge: ShadowSee you next Monday, February 2nd. Happy Groundhog's day!(PS. This is why I'm not a writer. I do apologize for all who call the English language their friend.)

They say that the reason cats look like they're staring just past your shoulder, is because they're actually looking at your doppelganger.

Happy New Year SnapSlutees!Time to bust out the bubbly and start breaking those resolutions. Along with the new year, comes a new SnapSluts challenge. And this one is christened "New Beginnings." I'll leave it very open-ended--best not to end those creative juices before they've begun. (??? I know, it's a stretch.) So, interpret that as you will.Nothing new about the deadline. Same as it ever was
