24/365 & 25/365

**yes, i skipped day 23.  it was umbrellas.  i didn't even take a photo that day** 

day 24:

Fresh Air.

i wanted to take a photo of my breath...

then i realized that's not fresh air but recycled air.

how do i take a photo of fresh air?

i can't take a photo of the air exactly, 

but where do i go to feel, breathe, the fresh air?

into the bush, away from buildings, cars...

the trees give us oxygen 

(unless science has discovered something else since i was in school - - 

i mean, pluto isn't a planet anymore...but i'm pretty sure about this.)

that's as fresh as we can get.

so here's some of the trees...

couldn't get oxygen filled leaf trees since they're sleeping right now.

day 25.

Caring

*this prompt is to be done as a Portraiture.  for me to practice.*

i told the fam. at the beginning of the day that i would be needing to do this one.

so they weren't too surprised when i would say 

'I want a photo of you doing that.'

so.

out we went.

to our back hill to snowboard.

our boy is learning, and daddy is teaching him.

he straps on his board, gets some advice and heads down the hill.

daddy comes to the bottom and gives him a piggyback up the hill (with snowboard still strapped on)

and away he goes again.

usually they repeat that a few times before his dad wants to do some snowboarding of his own.

they call it 'Daddy chairlift'

See where my challenge began : Here 

day 25

day 25:

Stranger

here's the deal.

i don't talk to strangers.

i thought, 

maybe,

 i could accomplish this challenge by asking some random person if i could take their picture.  

*obviously explaining what i was doing*

nope.

maybe one day.

so after gymnastics with my girl i headed to a trail in town.

it was a beautiful place..

i could sneak a pic, because it was so nice there, i could pretend they got in the way.

seriously.

that's was my plan.

so we parked at the end and headed to the trail.

there was a lady on the floating dock!  

perfect.

my girl asked 

"is she a stranger mommy?"

yes. yes she is.

before i could get down to the dock she turned around.

so i grabbed my camera and snapped this.

i didn't know why she turned around so abruptly.

maybe she knew my plan.

when we got down there i saw why.

there she is again.

that's my stranger photo challenge.

i'm a geek.

i know it.
