Count
The Call: Feed Tickets Here — Jessica
My kindergartener went to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese this morning and, lucky me, I got to take him. I really don’t think CEC is all that bad — it’s noisy and crowded but the kids have fun and run around with their friends leaving me a few moments to chat with the other parents or play with my camera apps.
I also thought it would be the perfect place to get a shot of “count” since at the end of the party you have to count up your tickets to go claim the small plastic prizes at the exit.
I used Vignette to create the double exposure and then played around with various filters until I decided on the Holga plastic camera filter. The redscale filter also worked nicely. Here’s another example on my instagram feed that I think turned out a little bit better.
Response: Christmas Cactus — Cheryl
I can’t count how many times I’ve photographed my Christmas cacti (inherited from Mom), but I imagine they’ll star in even more upcoming shots.
Both shots are really cool, Jessica. Those crazy reflections add a lot of depth.
The simplicity of this shot is beautiful! And the colors are just fabulous. Your Mom’s plant is in good hands — may it continue to bloom because I love the pictures. : )
