Alida's Creative Photo's Journey
I started this journey a couple months ago. I really wanted to be creative and put myself out there. Then I got busy and started coming up with excuses as to not take this course. I have decided to restart and try agian! I'm imperfect and I try so here's me putting myself back out there and trying one more time.
All the way back to Day 1:
This time around I picked my ears. Something that I pride myself on is being a good listener The first picture is a close up of my ear. The second one is a bit futhure away where I am doing the symbol that I use in my classroom when I want my students to all yell the answer at the same time, Chroal Response. I also talk about what good listeners do and how do you show that you are one often as an educator.


Day 2: For my object I chose this bracelete. I had a student who knew how to push all my buttons. Sometimes I wondered if I would ever get through to this child. On the 2nd to last day of school she brought this adorable bracelete.

I think the first picture is my favorite. I look like I am hiding behind the bracelete.

Day 3: Play Peekaboo! For my Peekaboo session I picked to try to emerge from the books I bought yesterday. Can you see the shame on my face for buying books agian? I actually love books and reading! I have a YouTube channel where I talk about them! 
A couple of my favorite outtakes!

Day 4: Put The Mirror Somewhere Unusal!
I had a lot of fun with this one. I just bought my first house with my husband. I have spent 12 hours working in the garden. I am very proud of this garden and can't wait to see how much it expands. As you can see I picked the picture where I was looking away admiring my new home.

Some of my outtakes.



Day 5: Pick & Show a word from a book on your shelf!
Hahaha I forgot the camera is backwards but it does say "Felt"
Day 5: For this day of my skillshare course I was to open a book. Pick a random word and show it! I got the word felt so I felt my chin as I took a picture of my word on my hand.

A couple outtakes:


Day 6: Hockney Style! For this photo I went on this sky ride near my town and then my husband and I hiked for a little bit. The view from there was so pretty. I had to take my impromto photoshoot there. I think it came out really nicely!

Day 7: Zoom Out:
For this day I had to take a picture from far away. I have been moving into my house this Summer. I just get to enjoy different parts of my house. This was taken in my backyard. I had a lot of fun taking my photoshoot this ended up being my favorite picture. 
Here are a couple of my outtakes! 


Day 8: Motion Blur
This one took me a little while because I did many different "shoots" to find the "perfect" motion blur. I was jusy listening to Maroon 5 and rocking out with my amazing dance moves.

Day 9: 4th Graders watch out! New teacher on the block coming your way! 4th grade teacher here! This was taken just after I hung up with my boss who informed that I will be moving grades! Still processing!

Day 10: Dress up! I had to look my best for meet the teacher night! I think I did pretty well! 

Day 11: I actually took this photo a couple weeks ago. I really enjoyed playing with the angles of this photo.
One outtake that I like!

Day 12: Shadow story! Sorry i took so long to get to this one. I made a story about a couple of my favorite things.

Day 13: Record Cover! This was so much fun transforming myself into Elvis! The first one is my favorite! The other are outtakes including one of my husband after he helped me stop the mirroring effect!
FASVORITE:
Outtakes! 


Day 14: Play with food! Today we went grocery shopping and I spent some time prepping the food. I have a love for cooking and got to just goof off a little and have some fun. Here's my favorite photo!

Day 15: I was supposed to go under covers. I used my sheer curtains in my kitchen. I guess I really got into it. I kept moving around trying different poses but I knocked down the curtain and I still kept going.
Here's my favorite:

Outtakes: 

Day 16: Skillshare challenge: For today's photo I was to play in the rain or shower or just get myself under streaming water and take pictures. My favorite 2 are the first two. You you can see me get more stiff and not really enjoying it as you go. These were in reverse order from when they were taken. So basically as soon as I got out of my own head and let myself have fun with it I got better shots. It's also going to be in an upcoming vlog on my channel.Also on insta!


Outtakes: 


Day 17: Bird's Eye View
This one actually took a lot of time for me to think about. I think I was over thinking it. I have a few bird's eye view where I am using my "honorery dog" as a pillow.
These two are my favorite.
