Something Old

8/365

Have I mentioned I love old things? I guess it's pretty obvious.  I have always thought I had an old soul.  Don't get me wrong, I love me some modern, love the newest trends, love to mix things up, but deep down inside I really think I could have lived somewhere in the 20's, maybe 30's?  I get lost in old photos, but that's another story.  Anyway, I have two of these tall mirrored armoire doors that I use for full length mirrors.  I topped this one off with an old wooden clothes hanger. Sometimes I catch myself  looking in these mirrors, mind wondering, trying to imagine all the wonderful people that must have looked in this same mirror over the years. There's always a story with something old.  That's what makes it special.

Puppy Eyes

7/365

Now this is a sweet face!  I just love me some puppy eyes!  I took this photo while playing around with my new Sigma 50mm 1.4.  The DOF is just fabulous, but I am still learning how to manage it.  As you can tell in this photo the closest eye is definitely the eye in focus!  It almost just pops out at you!  Anyway, It's going to take some practice, but I am loving it so far!

No Trespassing

6/365

The high today was 10 degrees.  The temperature will continue to drop until morning.  We haven't had weather this cold in East Tennessee in 17 + years!  I figured my photo for today would have to be a quick jump out of the car, a click of the camera and a jump back into the car!  Basically that is what this image is. This girl doesn't mess around when it's freezing out!  For some reason I am always drawn to No Trespassing signs.  Must be the fascination of what lurks on the other side.  In this case, a beautiful old white barn.  Try to stay warm!

Sofa

5/365

Now that's a sofa!  Does anyone else make three circles through a town, just to take a second look and third look at an old sofa propped up on an old door in an abandoned old building?  Well, if you are anything like me, you would! Can't even tell you how fast my mind was going, thinking about all the possibilities this beauty could bring my photography!  After my third swing through town, it was apparent that not one single person (this is a one red light town, by the way) was around for me to ask if that sofa was a freebie, was it for sale, or why it was even just standing there all by itself! Why, oh why?

I had to photograph it, at least for the memory.  Needless to say, I will make another swing through the town next time I'm that way.  A girl can always hope, right?

Toy Truck

4/365

Didin't have a lot of time today to push myself for a photo challenge, so when that happens, I tend to shoot something that I love.  I LOVE vintage, so I tend to find something that I have collected to shoot.  This truck has been handed down through our family for years.  I love the color, the rust, everything about it.  The vintage camera is a Brownie that I picked up at an estate sale.  I think I have about 7 vintage cameras right now and I hope my collection keeps growing!
