A very happy Monday due to this lovely woman and a salad I can’t stop thinking about. #dpp2017

Two words: captive audience. ;)

Oh my goodness, I couldn’t love this shot more. This is why, when you’re doing the December Photo Project, it pays to bring your camera everywhere—even when it’s heavy and the case is bulky and you look kind of ridiculous hauling a camera bag into the store alongside your purse which is already huge.

I’m not listing names under these images on purpose, but I hope this friend spies her photo and approves. Thank you for being game for my photo project!

The only problem with writing commentary underneath an image is that awkward moment when you really can’t think of anything to say. This gentleman is a kind soul indeed, he just happens to be featured when my brain is completely thought-less due to an end-of-the-semester head cold. #dpp2017

“Dad! You’re supposed to close your eyes!”

This project makes me laugh more and more each day.

One of us had zero chill during this briefest of shoots. And it wasn’t me. #dpp2017

Today my brain is mush. My featured subject, however, has enough brains and beauty for the both of us.

If you all think it’s weird to look at so many pics of people with their eyes closed, trust me when I say it also gets weird to take that many pics. Everyone has been cooperative though!

The other thing I’ve noticed is how this project might feel more cohesive if I had shot everyone in the same spot under the same lighting conditions. This shot of Yinka was taken 25 feet away from yesterday’s shot of the mini drummer. Amazing what a difference a few feet can make. #dpp2017

Such cuteness! Such a good sport, too. #dpp2017

Asking people to pose with their eyes closed is a hoot. I highly recommend it. Featured today is one of my favorites artists. This one astounds me on a regular basis with her creativity. #dpp2017
