RRC: Express A Feeling
Suggested Lisa, of "Lisa's Chaos"
Yep, that's me! Now all you have to do is guess what feeling I am trying to express! Here is a hint; I am NOT upset/depressed/sad/mad/ or otherwise blue! For some reason, I always get that from people. I am not an overly emotional person, which is sometimes misunderstood in one negative way or another. Honestly... all is good! In fact, the day I took that picture I was in the Santa Cruz mountains, enjoying a day in the snow. It was magnificent. It was a photographers dream day! So, care to guess what I am thinking as I snapped a picture of myself?
DING, DING, DING My "feeling" was guessed correctly by Freda... It's "CONTENT!"
I decided to do the bulk of this assignment from a slightly different point of view. You see, I like to express through the subjects I photograph, how I am feeling at any given moment. I guess you could say, if I don't feel a certain way about something, I don't photograph it. For me, it's the difference between being a "point and shoot" photographer and an artist. I like the feelings that come from looking beyond what's obvious. So, below you see a small gallery of photographs, and how I felt when I took them. Let me know what you think!

Now that you have seen my entry, go see what the other Robins have come up with!

Hi Carly,
Tough call on what your feeling in shot one, after you dismissed all the obvious ones. :)
You have some interesting shots in your series here, love that squirrel one.
I hope you have a good rest from the blogosphere.
All the best!
Rich
What a great variety of emotions! I love the pumpkins and that squirrel is just great!
Lovely collection, but my faves are of you, Hendrix and Dylan! I would say you're feeling content.
Hi Carly,
I love how you did this challenge. Really outside the box. Love all your pictures. Have a great day!

Very creative expressions, lol ! Your self portrait expresses what I feel when I do the same : Is my head on the picture ? So I would rather say you express hope ;) !
I love how showed all those different emotions!
So cute! I especially like the tree. He reminds me of Treebeard from Lord of the Rings.
The first shot looks like concentration to me, and the last shot hunger.
