Theme Thursday

It was warmish again in the afternoon yesterday so the girls wanted to play outside.  I let them paint the sidewalk, which ultimately turns into paint the body.  I love when they laugh together and share so well, but does it have to be so messy?
Today's theme at Stacy's is "contrast".  So I converted this one to bw and increased the contrast a little.  The paint on her hands now looks a little grittier.  Go, visit.

Very nice! I love the composition, and the paint on her hands is very cool looking.

Love the processing and the composition. Very nice! I envy your warm weather, too. It's snowing here right now...

ooo, i love this. i love that her hands are making a heart too. did you intend to do that?

January 10, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterStacy

intriguing photo. i'm not sure i would have known what she was doing if you hadn't explained. also, love the double watches -- adding symmetry to the composition, eh?

Beautiful shot. I love the compo and the contrast. I also love the two watches. :)

Love this photo! I like how the stripes of her shirt fill the heart she is making with her hands. I think it's just a fabulous photo in all respects!

The finger shaped heart is lovely.

Oh fun! I think I'll get out the paints today! Two watches? Is one a different time zone ; ) ? Cute photo.

How fun! I want to paint like that!!! Love how it appears to be glitter!

What a great shot! I love it in black and white, and how the paint stands out...although I also agree - does it HAVE to be so messy?

LOVE this! Your conversion and processing rock, and the glittery painted hands are so fun!

That's a neat photo - I like the perspective. And the two watches are cute...very funky. :)

The picture says that little girl has TIME for LOVE! Great shot!

Interesting composition and nice DOF. Is painting the sidewalk allowed there? Does it wash off in the rain? We don't have that much rain so it may not be looked upon favourably here :-). And come to think of it....we don't HAVE sidewalks at our place. It's grass right down to the kerb.
Nice take on contrast.

I stumbled across you blog via my sister's blog, (keep pace) I absolutely love your pictures. I just got a new camera for x-mas & have been inspired by your creative photos-thanks!

Ugh! How did I miss you on Thursday!? Where was I? Why did I keep getting pulled away? does it matter? NOT ONE BIT! Except I love the picture- great contrast; and Harrison, sitting on my lap, loves the "finger heart, Mommy!" Nice double-fisted watches, too. Set one to our time zone!

BTW, You are liked! Squarespace really likes you!
Take care!
