There's always a place you can call "Home." You guessed it, the theme for this week was "home." It was difficult to conceptualize an idea that wouldn't be too obvious for this theme. For example, just cooked food on a table, a family in the midst of playing a board game, a cozy living room, and so forth. I even thought of incorporating my cats against a wall plaque that read, "Cats are like potato chips, you can't just have one." However, since I need both cats to essentially "pose," I knew that idea was essentially a no go. 

       I looked around the house to see what I could take a photo home to symbolize the theme. I took a few shots of some books on my bookshelf, and even some just washed coffee cups. After uploading them to my computer, I knew that I had not gotten "that shot." Thereafter, I watered my plants and it dawned on me. I had the perfect collection of items to showcase the theme by interpreting it to be, "there's always a place you can call home." That is, this little fellow was wondering around a patch of land when he stumbled upon these great big leaves and singing birds. He smiled and thought to himself, "this is a great place to call home."

      There was no set-up for this actually. Turns out that this little man ornament was in the midst of four plant pots on table that was against a window in the living room. Moreover, the sunlight was just right when I snapped this shot. Hence, very little was done post-processing. I merely cropped the photo to focus on the central figure and played around with the Tone Curve in Lightroom.
