Project 52 

three favourite portraits so far 

J 

 6/52 intense younger you are 

15/52  playing with snails 

20/52 asking me questions whilst a plane flew overhead

M

2/52  the joker always making me laugh

19/52 such a sweet gaze 

20/52 yes, that is what we do with figs 

It was harder than I imagined selecting my favourite three.  Of course any parent would love each image of their own children.  I tried to select images I'm also happy with from a photographic perspective as well.  Images that I can appreciate the light, moment, composition and colour.  

Half way!  A wonderful project thanks to a wonderful host.  Thanks Jodi

25/52 - a portrait of my children once a week every week for a year 

It feels so strange, writing that post heading...the reflected numbers staring back at me in disbelief...are we really so close to the half way mark of this wonderful challenge?  Challenge it is not either...I have found it such a enjoyed moment in my week to take, select and share special images of my children.  I already have ideas of collating the images in a digital book marking the end of the year...perfect gift for grandparents too.

J -  taking a moment to yourself, waiting for your sister to get outside so you can play in the winter sunshine 

M - always looking for a way to make me laugh
