bench monday :: Not So Average Mama

I’ve been participating in Bench Monday on Flickr for a few weeks now. These shots are so much fun to do and I figured I would share them here as well! I’ve been spending a lot of my time on photography again. Many years ago it was all I did. Then I started tattooing and I put all of my creativity into that.

I can’t tattoo anymore and that makes me sad, especially the fact that I can not draw anymore….it eats at me. I think I could still paint though…maybe. I’m not quite sure what is happening to me. I know I need to get in to a doctor and get it all figured out. Somedays I can not even write my name….anyhow….

I loved the way today’s Bench Monday photo turned out. Lauren wanted me to add the butterflies and stars, how could I refuse??

If you want to use any of my images please contact me for permission….I’m a pretty nice person.

I’ve been sick, but I did manage to shoot some photos daily for my “365″ project. I also joined a new project on Monday called “Bench Monday”. I had never heard of Bench Monday, so I decided to check it out.

All the photos are of people standing on something, like a bench or chair for instance. Heck, some were even standing on the kitchen counter. The shots all were really awesome to look at. If you are not a flickr member, I highly suggest it. The creativity runs wild there. You will definitely be inspired.

It sounded like fun to me, so I grabbed up Lauren to do some of these Bench shots. We used our kitchen chair in front of a very muddied up sliding glass door (stupid dogs) with the early evening sun coming though. I love it. Her torn up jeans, her bare feet…all of it makes for a pretty cool portrait of my girl. What do you think?
