Fifty-two on Friday: Warmth

I love having the challenge of a Project 52 each week. It was so amazing last week to see all of the creativity flow from the 16 other women in my blog-circle. When I saw that this week the theme would be warmth, I was truly excited to see what the ladies would come up with! This week, for warmth, I immediately thought of these things...


...a smile that reaches all the way to someone's eyes
...cradling hot mug of coffee on a cold morning
...and hand knit mittens


I originally had a vision of processing these with bold colors to showcase the multi-hued mittens, but stumbled and stumbled to make it right.  I finally was pushing some sliders and presets and found the duotone BW, and  fell.in.love.with.it. Goes to show that even when you have a vision, your voice may take you in a different direction (yes, I am reading a book by David duChemin!) 

I have to thank my dear friend Tara for allowing me to torture her again with my camera. She is so supportive of passion for photography, and has not turned down one of my requests to photograph her or her boys!


The outtake, but still one of my FAVS



Now, go check out the amazing creativity of Sarah Bunch at http://www.birthofaphotographer.blogspot.com/ for her take on warmth. Blog love is always appreciated, and see you next week.

    Just beautiful. Your friend is gorgeous and looks so happy in these. I love the b&w too, but I'm so glad you showed us the color outtake because those mittens are amazing. I love colorful knitted things!

    I have a dear friend that has supported me from the beginning. Isn't it nice? It just makes you have courage when all you want to do it doubt. :)
    Love this post so much! I hope to do something very similar for my dear friend.

    Love these images,Jayme! Those gloves are beautiful. Did you knit them? I have yet to knit gloves. Yours look like half mitten/ half glove... muvs, or glittens. I think I need some.

    I can see why you are drawn to the duo tone. It's lovely. But I just love the colors on those gloves!!
