Last week Shelby had a photo assignment to photograph something in the theme of Travel. So, I took her to Goldfield Ghost Town.

While there I ended up taking a ton of photos myself and I finally felt the photo juices flowing in me again. I got burnt out. Not only do we hardly ever go anywhere, until recently, there was no one to go with. Not to mention that it’s like a bazillion degrees out in the summer. So, now that Shelby is all in to photography too… Maybe I’ll get to go out more often!

I also started entering contests at W1k again. Just recently, I did really good with one of the photos I took while we were at Goldfield. Well, actually, I did super good! LOL It was a contest on making something look like a toy model. My submission got me 5th place in an advanced contest AND my highest score to date! That was a lovely confidence booster.

Another cool thing. A few weeks back, one of Shelby’s assignments was to find as many letters of the alphabet that weren’t really letters… like this:

So, we decided to have a competition to see who could find the most letters. We haven’t tallied the numbers yet, but it was an amazing tool to see beyond the big picture! I took so many photos of things I never would’ve even thought of because of that! We’ve decided we’re going to do that from now on (when we actually go somewhere). My goal the next time we go to Disneyland is to find the entire alphabet and as many hidden Mickeys as possible! It will be a ton of fun! Not to mention, the alphabet is good for 26 days straight of post for my photoblog! LOL
