In an effort to force myself to blog and to gain some much needed motivation, I’ve joined a blog circle. Every month, we’re given a topic to photograph. My first month was extremely challenging to me for some reason! The topic was finding beauty in the ugly. I don’t own a macro lens so cool macro shots of ugly items was out of the question, and I really don’t enjoy a photograph unless it has a person in it. That made me think of things in people that could be considered ugly but those which are also beautiful. My favorite images were some of my daughters who had given themselves a makeover which they thought was beautiful but in reality, quite scary! Unfortunately, I seem to have formatted my sd card before downloading them. So I had to get creative. Here is my loose interpretation (just to add a caveat, I don’t find any of the people I photographed to be ugly, just the things they were doing weren’t what one would term beautiful!):
