AEzine Challenge: Photo Point of View
Tags:From the latest issue of AEzine:
This week your challenge is to create a layout that tells the story of your relationship with photos and/or your camera.
Consider the following questions:
What is your personal photo-taking process?
What are your strengths in regards to taking photos?
What do you want to change about your process?
Which photos that you have taken are your favorites? Why?
What makes those photos your favorite?
If you don't have time to create a layout this week I would encourage you to simply think about how you take photos. Write down a photo goal for yourself this week and do something about it over the next seven days.
+++
Can't wait to take a peek at what you have created this week! I got behind and didn't have a chance to put a layout together yet. Tonight, after I get done with classes for today, I will pick a couple samples out of what is linked in the comments and feature them here on my blog.
Happy Friday!

Thanks for this little challenge, for me every challenge helps me grow, loved this one. I think this picture says what it is about life that I love, I don't have children, so I want to scrap the pictures that I take of lots of other stuff. I find it chalenging and fun to scrap objects or places, just to mix it up!

Thank you so much for the great photo tips! This was a challenge that I loved because I always felt my pictures could be so much better if only I knew what I was doing. Now I feel a lot better with what I come up with now! And I am taking LOTS of pictures with me lying on my stomach to get that shot - hee hee! Thanks Ali!

cool challenge.
Right now my biggest photo goal is to find my camera! (with my pics of seeing Stacy J in CT, and moonrise over the river, and fall foliage around my house .... why do I not download photos faster?)
Wish me luck! I think the hockey rink may have it...

Loved your AEzine article on photography, thanks so much for sharing all your fabulous tips so generously with us :o)
I did a LO about what photography means to me about a month ago but it meets the criteria of this challenge perfectly so I thought I would share it with you:

This was definitely worth the 2 hours I took from my once-a-week babysitter watching my 3-year old time. Scrapping! Crazy! Infinitely better, however, than sorting laundry, (which'll keep!) though I do wish I could scan better and that my son would quit trying to help me type! (OK, he's a baby obsessed with pressing buttons. Cute, but persistant.) Thanks for the new mag Ali! I'm really enjoying sneaking away to savor it. ~Natalie

This was my very first challenge ever. It was way cool & I had so much fun being stretched creatively. Here's my page -- it was even finished on Wednesday because I was excited for my first-ever post! Thanks for great ideas & a great blog. http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/gallery/details.ihtml?idx=22615

Ali, thank you so much for this opportunity for those of us who may have once been private in thier scrapbooking to let there stories be seen to so many more people than we would have ever thought possible. Thank you!
For this layout I made photo cluster in photoshop and added rub-ons, word stickers and handwritting. I created a pull tab on the bottom right corner that holds my journaling describing my photography style.
Thanks again...thanks for the CHALLENGE!
