SPF: Wave of Modulation

Kristine was inspired by this week by Wave of Modulation and, as such, our assignments are all about that.

SPF Assignment:
1. Something Discarded
2. Lay down on the ground and find something ugly and make it beautiful.
3. Take a picture in the style of the person that inspires you. #3 is wide open - meaning if you took a picture that you wouldn’t have normally taken, but you thought, ‘hey so-in-so would love this’. Share with us your inspirations!!

So, here we go with the first one.

Something discarded consists of the papers in the recycling bin. The newspaper is also a symbol of a discarded media outlet these days; a dinosaur of the past. No longer does everyone get the daily paper. In fact, I know few people under the age of 50 who do. It is a sad state for newspapers and makes me nostalgic for my early reporter days at the Bonham Daily Favorite (my first job after college.)

Getting down to make something ugly into something pretty.

These are some nasty weeds in my backyard that I haven't taken the time to pull or even mow down. But, they look sort of pretty from this angle and not near as offensive from down low.

And, a shot of motivation.

This picture is in honor of my mother. She ALWAYS takes pictures crooked. Every picture. Every time. It is her trademark. I giggle because I think it is a sign of her being just a little off in the head that everything seems at an angle for her. But, I took this shot because I liked the way the boys looked chilling out at halftime of the game last week. But, this one is for my mom. Those who have seen her photo albums can appreciate it.
