This is the week of the huge birthday celebration at I[heart]Faces. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I regret not joining in on the fun earlier in 2009. I had heard about it, but didn’t start participating until the end of the year. I love that place.
Anyway, this week they’ve requested “the face photo that you love the best that you took either in the month of December 2009 or in early January 2010…and that shows off where you are in your photography journey right now.” This is my favorite from December. It depicts my baby just waken from a nap. He is a GRUMP when he just wakes up. No joyful baby sighs or giggles here.
I took it in December, a week or so after I got my new lens–the elusive nikon 35mm f1.8. This is where I am on my photography journey. Falling in love with portraits…falling oh so in love with faces.
