Beauty - The Sea

Day 6 of Brooke Shaden's 15 day challenge

Beauty - The Sea

What I feel is beautiful is nature particular the sea.  I live by the ocean but I am not englamoured with a beautiful sunny beach day. I love wet stormy days by the sea.  The smell of salt air and the cool dampness seeping into my skin.  Beauty to me is a stormy, foggy day.  

Broken City - Shattered Dreams

Day 5 of Brooke Shaden's 15 day challenge

Broken City - Shattered Dreams

This was not what I initially thought I would do - my first thought was a broken heart but this is where I ended up. I am playing catch up today. Created in Photoshop.

Spellbound - The Moon

Day 4 of Brooke Shaden's 15 day challenge
Spellbound - The Moon

I find the moon fascinating and mesmerizing and I could look at it for hours spellbound. I am a moon child! Created on my iPad. I am trying to just make quick images for this challenge - not quite as finished as I usually do.

Endings

Day 3 of Brooke Shaden's 15 day challenge

Endings - Door

My third challenge and this one was to portray endings using a door. My idea is that we are all prisoners of time so it is best to step through the door of possibilities while we still have time. Model Colby Files.

Sadness

Day 2 of Brooke Shaden's 15 day challenge

Emotion - Sadness

My second challenge and this one was to show emotion and not show faces.  Well I do have a bit of a face in this one.  I have been doing a lot of images partially cut off and figured this would work well for this challenge.  Created on my iPad.

Rebirth

My first image of the Brooke Shaden 15 day challenge.  The theme was rebirth. To me nothing says rebirth like the cycles of nature especially the growth and reseeding of flowers and weeds.  I guess I will consider the close up and spacing of the pod on my canvas as my enclosed space.

My intent for myself for the 15 day challenge is to use my iPad for the images.  I tend to do a lot of “people” images so this was a nice change for me.  We will see if I actually do an image a day but I do know I will complete all 15 challenges!
