Week 10 - 1950s - hsmithphotography & The Melody Censor

hes - I was thrilled to get this theme and be paired with Susan. As fate would have it, I got my hands on a vintage hairdryer last week. I called on my friend to model and everything came together quickly and just as I had envisioned (which doesn't always happen). I was thrilled to see Susan's image and how well they both worked together

Week 7 - Faeries - MaryElise and hsmithphotography

hs: Technically we are rolling into week 8, but here is our week 7. I had no clue what to do for this one. I remembered having a irish fairy book that I bought shortly after traveling to Ireland. I was fascinated by all the fairy stories, it seemed like everyone there had one! I was excited to see that Mary had also used a jar in her image. I mean, isn't that how you catch them?

Week 6 - Scent - ligeia and heather evans smith (hsmithphotography

hes - Eva and I shot our images separately and I love how well they work together. This diptych makes me feel happy and so glad spring is here!

Week 5 - Patterns - Pia and Heather Evans Smith (hsmithphotography

hes - I was happy to get the theme of patterns this week. For one, I had a really loud shower curtain and hat that I had been dying to use of a photo. When I saw Pia's pic, another flower pattern and in the same format, I was thrilled. :)

Week 4 - Fresh - sadandbeautiful (sarah) and Heather Evans Smith (hsmithphotography)

hes- This was a hard theme for me. How to convey fresh? I went with a fresh face / body type of theme and was delighted to see Sarah's citrus shots. The droplets tied both the photos in nicely, only a tweak of the colors was done to make the images work well together.

Week 3 - Dress - hsmithphotography and Bee Brady

hes - This week's theme came easy for me this week. I asked Brady should we be literal as in a picture of a dress or use it as a verb, like "to dress". We decided we could choose either. I decided to do both, getting dressed in a dress. It just so happened that our dresses are the same color scheme. A happy accident.

BB - I found this week so difficult and I am not even sure why. Just a mental block on 'dress' for some reason. I knew I wanted to do a still life, but I kept changing my mind constantly about how..... I was finally satisfied when I saw how well mine goes with Heather's beautiful self portrait.

Week 2 - Blue - hsmithphotography and MMaeb

I was concerned on getting my image done in time due to the fact that I was moving to a new house this past week. I took a few photos and they all seemed to say "blue-green" instead of blue. Michelle pretty much spearheaded this, taking a wonderful selection of photos (both still life and self-portraits) and working with our combinations to pick the best match. One of her still lifes was a little more blue-green as well so they worked together. It might not have been exactly the "blue" theme, we can make our own rules and decided to just go for it.

Week 1 - Floral - rowandevoe and hsmithphotography

Merle and I didn't set any rules except for a square format. We both adore vintage styles. Merle went for a 1920s-30s feel and I channeled the 1960s. Both of us used flowers in our hair and neither one of us was surprised to see that the other had done the same, seemed like a no-brainer based on our interests. Merle has become quite a confidant of mine lately and I was excited to pair up with her on this project.
