You Were Pretty As A Picture

A few friends on Twitter enjoyed a September project dubbed #photofun. Every day there was a predetermined topic and our assignment was to take a picture that represented that topic. The idea was suggested by Niki, and as the contest commissioner she declared the picture had to be taken by you and on that day. As far as I know, only phone cameras were used.

It was loads of fun, sometimes insightful, and at one point it so riled the anger of several participants they committed a break-in and burglary. For real.

I picked a "best" picture from each day. Picking a "best" was arbitrary, of course; biased, naturally. Feel free to agree, disagree, and link to your own favorites.

Day 1. Self-Portrait.





Day 2. Your Favorite Shoes





Day 3. Hands





Day 4. Clouds





Day 5. Breakfast Today





Day 6. Books







Books Honorable Mention (because about 5 people had this idea)






Day 7. High Angle







High Angle Honorable Mention (for having the highest actual angle)





Day 8. Sunset








Sunset Honorable Mention (the idea submitted by my 8-year old, and he's holding the sunglasses for me)





Day 9. Fresh Fruit





Day 10. Animal





Day 11. Silhouette (perhaps Best in Show)





Day 12. Sun Flare





Day 13. Reminds You of Childhood






Day 14. Someone You Love (drawn by one of the little girls in the picture, and includes her unborn new brother/sister)





Day 15. Action





Day 16. Mason Jar / Jelly Jar





Day 17. Bokeh





Day 18. Eyes





Day 19. Summertime





Day 20. Water





Day 21. Micro





Day 22. Landscape





Day 23. Black & White (it was Henri's 2nd birthday)





Day 24. Love





Day 25. Citrus





Day 26. Favorite Color





Day 27. Your Weakness (other than me, only superficial weaknesses submitted, but I guess it was called Photo Fun, not Photo Psychoanalysis)





Day 28. Transportation





Day 29. Trees







Trees Honorable Mention (because I love to see palm trees)





Day 30. Family (everyone submitting their family was a winner that day)

I was already for an argument but I'm pleased with your selections, especially those that were mine. This was a great idea, thanks for posting.
