forty things i enjoy taking pictures of

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.

1. legs
2. flowers
3. people
4. people laughing
5. isaac
6. mr. b.
7. my friends

9. clouds
10. trees
11. trains
12. power lines
13. the sea

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!
