Today starts the new weekly theme, “Express Yourself.” I was not really sure how to photography this theme to start with, but I realized the every photograph I make is part of me expressing myself. Take the photo below I chose where to place the firefighter’s gear, whether to shoot landscape or portrait, and how close to stand to the fire engine. The photograph allow me to express myself. I know that may sound artsy cop-out, but it works for me. And  you never know I might get a little more creative as the week goes on.

I just had to stop and make a quick photo of the clouds with the sunbeams shining through them for my “The View From Here” theme.

I was driving down the interstate today and thought about this week’s theme, so I decided to pull out my camera to show you “The View From Here.”

Here is my desk, I know I need to clean it up, but it does fit nicely in this week’s theme “The View From Here.” This is a view I see at least once every day.

Today’s “The View From Here” photograph is from when I was waiting to pick up my daughter from school. It was a beautiful day and if you look closely, you can see her coming across the road toward me.

Today there could have been a lot of images for “The View From Here” theme. The family and I took a little road trip up to the Tennessee Aquarium. This photo is from the top deck of the River Gorge Explorer, a large catamaran that is power by four water jets much like a jet ski. It can reach speeds up to 50 mile per hour, that quick considering it holds 70 people.

Today I start a new theme for the week; “The View From Here” will either be interesting or show just how boring my life can be. I had to repair a power steering fluid leak on our Durango by replacing one of the hoses. So this was my view for a few hours this morning.

Today is the last day in the “Open your Heart” theme. I saw the watch while Jamie and I were out shopping and had to photograph it. Well now I’m off to brainstorm on how and what to photograph for next week’s theme, which starts tomorrow.

Still on the “Open you Heart” theme. This is a small bucket that we keep markers in, but by placing a flash inside and it becomes a nice little heart light.
