Scavenger Hunt

23 Scavenger Hunt Time for fun with Ashley Sisk! Since I have been sick in bed after my wisdom teeth surgery this whole week, I think I am allowed to pull photos from the week before, am I not? The photos I am using this week were all shot on our day trip to Everglades City for their seasfood festival. For the full experience, go to my two  posts with photos about the day at Everglades City here on Selfie Magic and on my personal blog for the full story, The Art of Making a Baby   1. CAPTURE THE SKY 2. EVERY DAY Every day I say a mental thank you to the circumstances that led us to the decision to move to Florida and then to Naples, Florida specifically. I coulnd’t imagine a more perfect beautiful place for me and my husband and our eventual...

Everglades Isles

2 Everglades Isles One of the most beautiful tranquil places I have gone to recently was Everglades Isle, a luxury resort owned by a guy I know, in the tiny middle of nowhere fisherman town of Everglades City. My husband and I joined some friends on 4 hour yacht trip to the 10 thousand island in the Everglades for the day a few weeks back. I posted the whole story of the trip in photos on my personal blog, The Art of Making a Baby, so if you’re interested, go over there to check it out. But in the meantime, just for photography sake and to tickle your senses and possibly bring some warmth to your snowed in homes, I present to you: EVERGLADES ISLE   If you’d like to see more photos of the day trip, go to my personal blog, The Art...

10 Selfie Saturdays Week 5: Idea Selfies INCORPORATING AN IDEA INTO A SELFIE Ok, let’s admit it, girls! At some point simply taking pretty pictures of yourselves becomes boring. I mean how many times can you really show off your pretty face or your cute outfit? That’s when some of us transition into something more creative. Themed Selfie. And not the type where if the theme is a tree and you take a picture by the tree, or a house and you take a picture by the house. You gotta make it fun right? Nothing is off limits: costumes, flashlights, outdoors. Just get creative. To give you a few examples of what you can do with themes, here’s what I did back when I was very heavy into a self portrait Flickr group, FGR, that gave a theme each day that we were supposed to...

FREEDOM is PRICELESS!

Posted by: Elena @ Selfie Magic  Posted date: February 25, 2011 in Weekly Photo Challenges
5 FREEDOM is PRICELESS! Today I finally finished sorting through and editing images from our trip to the Everglades that I will be posting on my personal blog, The Art of Making a Baby In the meantime I decided I wanted to post some for todays challenges. I picked out three images and only after uploading them I realized they have a theme: SKY! Since I had my wisdom teeth surgery I haven’t been able to get out of bed. I haven’t seen sky except from my bedroom window, I haven’t smelled fresh air , I haven’t felt free. And it shows in my choice of photos today: I WANT TO FLY! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hosted by Cecily and Lolli Please don’t forget to...
