Messy Face Birthday Boy
This week’s theme for iheartfaces is “Messy”. Well with a theme like that you would think I would have tons of photos that fit the bill. But for some reason I can’t really find any that I like. Or at least none that I want to enter into the contest. Until I saw this photo. It is funny how inspiration strikes, isn’t it? I saw Kerry’s great shot (which I think is absolutely ADORABLE, btw) and was reminded of this shot for some reason.
This is from Magnus’s first birthday, last July. He had his birthday cake and got to eat it too! I love this shot. I love the angle and the focus. It’s just abstract enough. Plus, you know he was having a blast!!!
Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying that blog? I hope you will post an entry too. Ohh, I almost forgot! This week they are having a special beginners section. Only beginner level people can post in that category. This is really cool because usually beginners are putting their shots up against all levels of photographers. It can be a little intimidating and some people might feel it is unfair. I love it that way because I think it forces me to really be creative and try harder. I am not a beginner anymore but I can sure shoot some shoddy shots ( I love alliteration!!!) sometimes. So the point is, if you haven’t entered in the past because you were intemidated by the divers pool of photographers, don’t let that hold you back this week. Find your favorite messy shot and post it up there! Even if you have to give your kids your kids a bucket of mud and stage a messy shot. Do it! You will really have fun.
Thanks again for the inspiration Kerry! I always love your blog!!!

First- love the angle of that photo-beautiful! And thank you so much for letting me know about “I love faces”! I am going to love that site! Although I have been really into photography (just point and shoot photos) for several years now, I am just starting to learn more. I don’t have any fancy equipment and consider myself a beginner
I just started doing small things for others and I love it. I really love your blog- thanks so much for all the good tips:)
