This picture was taken about 2 weeks ago while my son was finger painting. I made the hands harsh and darker than regular to help make them seem more dramatic. He is going on 3 but the way the paint dried on his hands aged them so beautifully. I wanted the lines to show. I wanted to make his hands feel as if they were coming at you.
This is my entry and I hope you enjoy!
I am entering in this weeks challenge for http://www.iheartfaces.com/ This week is bundled up.
I remember taking this picture about what felt like a thousand times. I wanted it to be just right. For once I wanted to be IN a picture instead of being the one taking them. I SO desperately wanted a smile from my then 18 month old son. But all he wanted to do was stick out his tongue and catch snowflakes. I mean who wouldn't?
Do yoou want to know my favorite part of this picture?
Is the date stamp.
Why did we or I mean...why did I get away from the date stamp? Instead of saying I took this picture sometime is December, I can say "I took this picture on December 12, 2008". I need to step back a few times and put the date stamp back onto my pictures. Yes they may look less "pretty" or "professional". But from a personal and emotional stand point, I do enjoy a good ole date time.
So there is my submission for this weeks I heart faces challenge of bundle up.
