Could you have guessed this week's theme before you saw the heading? If you did, then I guess I did my job :) The theme this week was "Joy." I had no idea what to do until last night, and of course... I took my photo only ninety minutes ago! (I seriously must put an end to this last minute shenanigan). I had my sister replicate some finger people drawings we came across online and we headed into the backyard to shoot. After trying two concepts, here's what we decided to submit.

While we were shooting, I accidentally smeared Ms. Right's left eye as I was positioning my sister's fingers. Hence, I quickly decided that her story would be something along the lines of tears of joy.  So... the story is, these three friends are out for the day and here are their reactions:

      Mr. Left: "Guys, this is beautiful and all, but I think I'm melting."

      Mr. Middle: "This wind is simply amazing!"

      Ms. Right: "This is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen!" 

      This was shot with an EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens. The photo was quickly edited to add some saturation and contrast. It's not as sharp as I wanted it to be, but it still works I think? Our first shot was pretty fun too, but we thought it suggested "love" more than "joy." Here's what it looked like:

       The theme for next week is pain. No idea what to do for that, but suggestions are welcome:)

       Special thanks to my sister for her artistic drawings!

       Stay tuned for a blog of photos from the NYC group of Fifty-two Frames across the Brooklyn Bridge!
