Sue's Photos

It seems to have been awhile, so I thought that I would feature some of the photo prompts that Sue has been working on. I should say that I will show you the results that she has captured although I don't always remember the actual prompts.

I do remember this prompt, so let's start here. The prompt was 'vibrant', and when we got to the checkout in the pharmacy, Sue asked this lady if she could take her picture. The cashier was more than happy to comply. Doncha luv her?

I forget this exact prompt, but Sue is holding a gift from her sister. The bag commemorates the day that the two saw Come From Away last fall in Toronto. Heather purchased the bag online for Sue, but between the delay in shipping from the company and the postal strike over the holidays, it took months to arrive. As you can see, Sue posed on a windy winter's day.

I took the picture, but Sue set it up. She calls me her tripod in such situations.

For the prompt, Corner, Sue gathered many items of memorabilia:. The chair was reupholstered by Sue's mother long ago. The table was given to us by Shauna. I am not sure of the previous provenance, but I know that my parents had tables like this, so I think of them regardless. The framed image on the table was her sister's, Heather's, retirement manifesto. The book beside it was from Shauna when she announced her pregnancy with Danica. The doily was crocheted by Sue's grandmother,  and the other items were gifts from the grandchildren. On the top shelf is memorabilia from our Down East trip, and the print on the stairway by Trisha Romance is the gift we gave each other one Christmas. Of course, being male, I didn't know all of this until Sue told me.

Sue tries to avoid grocery shopping, but I don't mind it, so it is my regular chore. One day, she came with me when we were already out together and I just had to pick up a few items. She took her time photographing tulips while I navigated the aisles. Gotta luv springtime photos when winter is still very present outside. I like the various compositions, certainly including the final one shaped like a bookmark. It is an unusual crop, which I appreciate for some reason.

This is one the sunset photos that Sue took when she was driving home from Ottawa with Danica after Danica's prom dress fitting. Shot from a moving car through less that sparkling windows, it is fuzzy. I'll keep it small to try to hide the fuzziness a little.

On one shopping, Sue asked me to bring home some flowers to replace the poor Christmas poinsettia that had a pretty good run but was no longer doing well. That was a few weeks ago, but they have hung in there fairly well. I think they are some kind of aster. Once again, I don't know what prompt she was fulfilling on this day.

I also purchased an inexpensive hyacinth on one of my grocery forays. What a beautiful scent! Sue did a double exposure effect and then added the text, which is a favourite quote of hers.
