01 What They Do

I have signed up for my first monthly photo challenge, Willette: Joy of Love. It runs the entire month of February, and includes little lessons on photography each day, which I think will be great for me, as I want to take better pictures.  The subject of the photos can be any loved one: boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, parent, grandparent, sibling, children, and even pets! (which is GREAT because if you know me, you know I love, love, LOVE my cat, Henry.)

So for my first assignment we are supposed to capture a loved one, when they are doing something that they love, and that really has "them" written all over it. For this, I couldn't decide on one, but two instead. One is a little older, from last summer, and the other was taken for the assignment.

We were supposed to focus on the lighting in these pictures. As for the picture of Tom, the lighting is okay considering that it is outside under the sun. The lighting was pretty dark in the library, especially seeming we needed the projector to be on, and I didn't use the flash per my fear of disrupting the meeting. Either way, I think these pictures capture what my boyfriend, and my dad, love to do.
