Photo Quest #61 - Who or What do you love? Runs from 6/26 - 7/1/09

We did a Quest similar to this some time back.  Here are the rules take a photo of something you really love or like a lot.  Can be human, animal, vegetable or even an object.  My grandfather said you can't love anything that doesn't have a neck...but there are things in our lives that we real like..love.. that don't have necks...ice cream, cameras, computers.  The list is endless.

This photo can be a portrait, landscape, staged, natural...any light is OK.  Natural, available, flash, table lamp, flashlights.  Now when you decided on a subject for your photo, think about how you will take the photo so that the viewer will see the love or like you feel for your subject.  If you can't manage to capture how your feel about your subject then take a photo of your subject doing something that makes you happy.  Some examples could be a child at play, your hubby cooking dinner for you, your cat sleeping.  So here a some web links to explore emotion in photography:
