It's that time again...it's the 2nd post of Project Twenty-Six! Here's the first weeks post. The theme this time is 'let's get close'. That could mean sooooo many things, so my mind was reeling with thoughts and ideas this week. It could mean 'close' as in relationships? It could mean 'close' as in macro shot close? It could mean 'close' as in proximity close? I couldn't decide what route to take so I kind of did a little bit of everything. The first photo above, I focused on unique lighting but if you look closely you can still see the theme 'let's get close'. Did you find it? Keep looking. Yep, it's Brielle looking closely at a ribbon she was trying to un-knot to put on August our pup. But this image was taken later in the day than the pictures below. It was after dusk and her room was dark except for the night sky where the moon was shining in. I set my camera at ISO 6400 (hence the grain) and I put my shutter-speed at 1/20th of a second. This picture was a bit haunting when I saw it on my computer screen. Brielle is afraid of her room. She doesn't like that she can see herself in the mirror from her bed, she thinks that ghosts will get her and she's afraid of the tissue pom-poms we had hung up but have since taken down. I've tried to soothe her fears but it's not working to well...slowly we'll get there. But in looking at this picture I did find it a bit haunting. Her room is bright and cheery during the day...at night it takes on a different look.
My other takes on this theme - {below} macro of Brielle's eyelashes.
Brielle looking 'closely' in her toy box for the perfect accessory for August, our boy dog, to wear. ;o)
{below} August, not too sure about being in her babydoll's high chair - Brielle getting close, trying to talk him into liking it. ;o)
{below} love between Brielle and Auggy. He's such a good little dog putting up with her dressing him up.
{below} I saw Ty & B together on Tuesday afternoon reading and grabbed my camera since they were perfect for this 'let's get close' theme. Brielle reading to Ty one of her favorite books since she was a baby. This was also Ty's favorite book. When he was 15 months old he wouldn't sleep in his crib without this book with him. We always handed it to him turned to his favorite page. That page is very worn now. We'll never get rid of it - it's so special to both kids.
