August 2010 Photo Hunt

Have y'all checked out Ashley's blog Ramblings and Photos? Her blog is *the place* to go to learn all about different photo challenges. I have some serious admiration for the girl and all the photo challenges she does. Two days ago, I read about the August 2010 Photo Hunt on her blog, you can read about it here, but it's basically a list of 20 things to take pictures of during the month of August (between the first and the thirty first). So, with two days remaining, and Lizzy actually down for a nap, I decided to have at it. I'm so glad that I did. Here's what I came up with:

1. Flag that represents you: 

I love this flag--it's the American flag, with Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech on the red lines, and the Declaration of Independence on the white lines.I love the idea of placing both statements about human rights together!

2. Something comfortable:


3. Something in season:


4. Feet (archive shot):


5. Repetition:

In my opinion, there is nothing more repetitive than laundry!

6. Culture or Ethnicity:

I love the foods from different cultures. Justin isn't a super adventurous eater, and doesn't like a lot of ethnic foods, so I try to have them occasionally for lunch, or when he isn't home for dinner.

7. Contrast

I have always loved the contrast between a black tux and a white wedding dress

8. An indulgence


9. Macro/ Close-up:


10. Masculine:

Be still my beating heart...I LOVE the smell of Old Spice.

11. Feminine:


12. Light:


13. Eco-Friendly:

Nalgene :)

14. Business:

The back of J's work truck yesterday.

15. Arrow:


16. Something wet:


17. Something dry:


18. Butterflies:


19. Heart-Shaped Clouds:


*** There is a special meaning behind the butterflies and heart-shaped clouds shots. Read about it here. I had to get creative, because I didn't see any butterflies OR heart-shaped clouds in the two days that I had to take these photos. They're my rough interpretations! 

20. Strength:
