up until just a little while ago, i didn't even know what my list would be today.
so i decided to look at my written notes on ideas for my thirty days of forty list posts. because it's late, i tried to pick a subject that would be quick and easy to do, and it so happens that the best one that would fit that description also goes perfectly with my picture inspiration assignment for the week.
we were to photograph legs... that's right. legs! our own legs, someone else's legs... even chair legs, if we wanted.
so... since it's just me and isaac home all day, i did just that. i photographed his legs and mine. the next two shots were what i submitted... as far as new photos go.
but when i went to submit those two photos to picture inspiration, i remembered some other "legs" photos i have taken in the past, and went in search of them so that i could submit them as well {even though you're really only supposed to submit new photos}.
here are the others i submitted {the old shots}.
it got me thinking, "wow, i must really like to take photos of legs... more than i realized." and now you'll see why this theme goes well with the list subject i chose... "forty things i enjoy photographing". "legs" might not have even made it on the list, if this picture inspiration assignment had not made me realize i've taken several before, which made me realize i really like to!
anyway... here is the list. you already know what no. 1 will be.
- legs
- flowers
- people
- people laughing
- isaac
- mr. b.
- my friends
- myself {i enjoy and dislike this one at the same time... i'm not a fan of myself in photos, but i try to force myself to be creative with this subject of self portraits.}
- clouds
- trees
- trains
- power lines
- the sea
- windows
- small things {with a macro setting}
- birds
- vintage things {like old suitcases}
- streets
- fall colors
- paths
- interiors
- jewelry & clothing
- food
- eyes
- people jumping
- hands
- lights
- signs
- messages
- dishes
- roadsides
- insects
- sunsets
- the moon
- books
- records
- my husband's guitars
- mirrors and decorative glass
- little glass figurines
- chairs
there you have it. i'm pretty sure many of my photography friends also enjoy taking pictures of several things in this list. i don't claim originality here in my list. i just claim variety.
what are your favorite things to photograph?
if you like taking pictures as much as i do, chances are, you will have taken one {or more} today of at least one item i listed. if not yet, i'm sure you will soon. and when you do, i hope you have fun with it like i try to. until i can get back to some of those things, i'll be resting here with my feet up, enjoying the day!
see you soon with another list!

Shoes! I love taking pictures of peoples shoes and part of their legs. Weird, huh?
i knew that about you, jamie! i could tell from seeing your work over the months. and you are good at it!
nacherluver... love your list. textures was not on mine. i should seek that out more. thanks for reminding me!
Finally getting a chance to catch up after losing power for 5 days and then cleaning up and then a holiday!
I am loving your lists! Every one of them... although the first made me feel quite old:) Forty years ago I was almost 20! Yikes!
thanks, gail!
i am glad you are enjoying them. it was a bigger undertaking than i thought it would be, so i am glad to know that people are enjoying all the work i am putting into them... and even if they were not, i am enjoying making them, and will be happy to have them down the road... the lists and the memories... and the photos, of course.
=)
i know a good list...things my mom told me. YIKES! or better yet, your dad's jokes.
mama, if if did the jokes list, i would definitely need your help remembering them.
hmmmmm... things my mom told me? i don't remember any of them. =)
Love your leg photos, especially the one with the red umbrella and shoes! Somehow, I haven't really come up with a shot for the legs theme yet. I'm feeling a little bit uninspired about photography at the moment, and only seem to take pictures of what I'm painting or drawing, documenting the processes. But maybe today's theme will bring inspiration back.
Love your lists, and your positive attitude. I'm sure I won't feel like this when it's my turn a few months from now. I'll have to come back and re-read your lists!
I love sunrises, shadows, reflections and old buildings! The gnarlier the better!!
Hugs
SueAnn
thanks, nordljus! i know what you mean about being uninspired... i've been a little that way, too. that's why i had to find some old photos to use for this prompt. i was not happy with what i came up with currently {the last photo}.
sueann, i like gnarly old buildings, too! i'll send you a link to some photos that i think you would enjoy.
What a cool assignment! These pictures say so much!
Hope you're making cool plans for the weekend! ;)
Miki.
