Souvenir Foto School: Day 29 - Y for Yogurt

I wish I could have planned to shoot something a bit more dynamic for my final Souvenir Foto School assignment, but in the end I was stuck with the letter "Y" and no time to think (since I'm a little frantic with packing and all), so I ended up shooting my afternoon snack. Of course I normally just eat it out of the container, but decided to put it into a prettier dish so that my photos would be a complete bummer.

Anyhow, even though it's not the most fascinating subject, this particular brand of yogurt is my favorite. Have you ever had Fage Greek Yogurt? It seems like something I should hate...thick tart yogurt (eww), but my sister got me hooked on it a few months ago, and I can't stop eating it. The peach and blueberry varieties are my fave.

Have a great rest of your week. I'll miss you all while I'm gone on my trip. If you start pinning away for me too much in my absence (hehe...one can dream), then I hope you'll take a second to browse through some of my past posts. It will make the waiting go faster. And you never know...you just might find something that you missed. See you next Monday! xo Ez

BTW...If you'd like you can also find all my images in individual and diptych form for this entire month-long class challenge over in my flickr album. | Souvenir Foto School is offered by Besotted Brand.

Today I Love: Sweet Picks for Spring

I guys! I'm sorry for the super late post today. A few unexpected things came up this morning that I had to respond to, and it took me a bit longer than expected to finally pull a post together to share. Anyhow, I will just have my final Souvenir Foto School post up later today, and then I'll be off on a quick trip to California (excited to tell you more about it when I return next week). Hopefully these cheery picks will brighten up your first days of March in the meantime (can you believe that tomorrow it will be March already). See you next week. xo Ez

Souvenir Foto School: Day 28 - U for Upside Down Circus Dog

So I managed to make it through the challenge of letter "U" for my Souvenir Foto School. Hooray! Thanks for the suggestions that some of you emailed me. You guys are the best. I had been thinking of using an umbrella as my subject, but every time I looked the sorry red one I own, I felt anything but inspired.

So today I got a tad goofy with Henry; a little stuffed dog that I found at a thrift store several years ago. He's one of my favorite vintage finds and usually watches over my office from my craft shelf. However, this morning he decided to bust out his secret talent for acrobatics (sure surprised me), and I certainly wasn't about to stop him (wink). xo Ez

P.S. These were processed in part using a free action from Nite Fate. She has some of the coolest free Photoshop actions out there, so if you enjoy editing with Photoshop, then be sure to give them a try.

Color Crush: Dusky Mint & Sage

My latest color crush isn't too far of a stretch from my constant obsession with anything aqua. But these hues of dusky mint and sage have a moodiness about them that I quite like. The dark brooding cousin of bubbly-natured aqua, if you will. What color(s) are you crushing on lately? Are you feeling these more muted hues, or are you pinning away for something a tad brighter? xo Ez
