Photo Challenge


“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” 
― Ansel Adams



Today I am linking up with
Donna
for her monthly photo challenge
over at her blog

I must thank BJ over at
the referral.

I took this photo a few years ago and it captured my heart, brought a smile and a tear. I thought it was a pretty good photo and figured I got lucky getting a shot that seemed to speak to me such innocence and simplicity.  

I printed one and gave it to my aunt.  Just last week at our family reunion, I noticed that my Aunt had framed it and hung it on her wall.  Again, it captured my heart and spoke of such an innocent time. It was taken with a kodak point and shoot, I hope the size and pixels (?) are good. I then uploaded it into Picmonkey and added the frame and used the Sepia feature.

I just discovered Picmonkey a year ago, and still have so much to learn. But I find Picmonkey relaxing and fun to play with.

So I am entering it into her challenge.  



Thank you Sara Marie
for your innocent smile!

  3. I love picmonkey and use it daily. I have two other editors, too, but pic is the easiest to do. Love the photo.

  4. An awesome capture of a sweet face and I like the angle you took it on. Changing it to Sepia was a nice thought, something I've rarely tried.
