 This week's theme is "Self-Portraits".
I figured since I have a ton of Mirror Project and Picture Yourself submissions that are all self-portraits that I would be different this time around. Instead, I noticed my framed pictures on my shelf in my office and on the mantle and thought I would take a picture of pictures of me. Does that make sense?
Below the picture is description of each picture (click image to enlarge):
Top row = Me as a spelunker in a cave in Austin as a college student; my husband and me at Baker's Beach in San Francisco (with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background); as a senior in college after I chopped off my hair; my sister and me as kids (I was about 5 years old); my sister and me at my wedding.
Bottom row = My parents, my sister and me at one of her art exhibits (I was in high school); me in the Swiss Alps (summer after graduating from college); one of my engagement pictures with my soon-to-be husband, Kenny; a Glamour Shot of myself taken a couple of years ago; my sister, my mother and me at my sister's wedding.
Oh! And I threw in my toes into the picture so it would truly be a self-portrait! :D

This week's theme is "Shadows"...
I'm cheating again. It has been raining for the last week and the gray, rainy weather makes it rather difficult to get a good shadow picture so you will have to do with some old black and white shots I have in my album.
All of the images below were hand printed in the darkroom by yours truly on 5"x7" Ilford warm-tone fiber paper.
Historical Home in Winedale, Texas.
The Menil Collection, Houston, Texas.
Sundial at Houston Museum of Natural Science.

This week's theme is the "Silliest Thing You Own" and yes, I know - it's a day late!
This is me wearing some silly battery-powered light-up devil horns (they actually blink) that my husband bought for me on the River Walk in San Antonio while we were there visiting and celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary. :D You can see more pictures from the trip here in my photo album as well as when I first grew these horns...

This week's theme is technology, and I actually posted it on the correct day! I had several thoughts on this one and the results are below:
Photographic technology throughout the ages - here is our collection of cameras - my camera of choice for black and white prints, my Dad's Nikkormat FTN with the grooving hippy hand-made shoulder strap I bought in a market in Guatemala in 1991 (camera circa 1971 - my Dad bought it brand new); a Brownie Target Six-20 (circa 1950); my husband's Nikon Coolpix 950 (2000); his old Kodak Disc 4000 we recently found (circa 1980); and my husband's Canon Rebel X (circa late 1990's). Of course, my Canon Elph PowerShot S300 (circa 2001) was not included as it was taking the picture! As you can see, we like photography in my household!
Now, for some antique "technology"! This is just a picture of an old (over a 100 years old) mantle clock we recently acquired after the death of his grandparents. It has been in Kenny's family for a long time and the loud "tic-toc" reminds him of his younger days with his grandparents and brings him comfort. It now has a prominent place on our mantle.
Last but not least, some technology from the recent past, maybe even your childhood. Going through Kenny's stuff that was packed away in his grandparents' attic, we came across two of his electronic handheld games - and they still work! Pictured are his Parker Brothers Bank Shot game (1980) (can you believe this was one of the top 100 games in 1980?) and his Mattel Electronics Football 2 (1978).
