In Pictures: My Favorites

Found this little broken down doll leg on the side of the road while walking with the kids. Some would think it was set up, but it really wasn't! Something about it being slightly morbid intrigues me.

There are a few self portraits I actually like enough to repost. This is one. I like how much emotion is flowing through my eye, even though you can barely see me.

And another self portraits where most of my face is hidden, with only one eye showing, and yet so much emotion shows through. I really like self portraits that aren't necessarily "beautiful" or conventional.

Lollipop Pete makes me happy. I know, I know. He is scary and freaky and a little bit over the top, but I had so much fun finding ways to pose him and shoot him to change up his look.

You've seen this one a few times and it's no surprise it's one of my favorites. Funny thing is, this picture was one taken early on in my photography journey. Yet it is a favorite of mine.

My first picture with my new 50mm lens showing off the depth of field it provides. I don't know. I just really like it.

This one takes me back to a time and place. I look at it and remember what I was doing that evening. It was in the summer, I had just taken a long walk with my dog and the sky was just lit up like it was on fire. I was in total awe through the walk. Soaking it all in. I wish I could relive that night. It was that amazing.

I never thought I'd like a close up of my face. I've never been a huge fan of close up pictures with my face. I have a, lets just say it, large nose and face and that's usually all I see. But this time I see beautiful, happy, joyful eyes and lovely lips. And that feels good to see that.

{these are my misc. favorites. i already posted the best pictures of my children in previous posts. i didn't want anyone to think i didn't think my children were my best shots of the year if they only read this post.}
