20 - Jump

"And if a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up". - Richard Avedon

It seems like the theme of jump is really trending right now in photography.  When I think of jump, I think of Richard Avedon and his fashion photos from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's.

Found this picture from a baseball team party at the pool in our neighborhood. I was taking pictures of the boys jumping in the pool, and this is my ultimate "jump" photograph! Looks like he's walking on water! Photograph by Laney Griffin-Robinson

Morella (on the left) and her friend Kayla spent 2 hours getting ready for this photo shoot - Jump.  They not only did their hair, make-up & costumes, but they also had personas and accents.

19 - Pattern

"There exists a relationship between all things in the universe.  Patterns form when repetition of shapes come together to give comfort to the chaos in our mind." ~Robin Anderson


Thanks to Deb Fewell for sending in the suggestion for this week's theme - Pattern.  Enjoy!


Note - this week I am including links to everyone's facebook page.  Please click on the person's name and send a friend's request.  I feel like at the end of the year, we should have a reunion!
