Commitment.

Gee whiz - can you believe it is the middle of the year already?  A whole 6 months of project 365 and a month of Team up Thursdays. This one was so interesting when we actually realized how alike we thought on this one.


My choice for this weeks theme was the word Commitment.  The reason for this is that today, 1 July 2010 is my 4th Wedding Anniversary.  Soppy i know, but there you have it.  4 years ago today I said 'i do' to my darling husband.  A man of not many words, but of great love and wisdom and care.  He has enriched my life in so many ways and for this I am eternally grateful.  I love him more than words can say.  Happy Anniversary dear xoxo
Mine:

When Shayne suggested "Commitment as our theme this week I immediatley knew exactly which picture I wanted to take. I have seen a similar one on a wedding photographer's website. So I set of to make it happen - first with natural light backlit - it worked, but the contrast was too little. Then I tried with a flash - which gave me double and vague shadows. At the end I got a very "primitive" sollution to getting the hearts just perfect - backlit at night with a reading lamp and taken with a steady hand and no flash. Believe me, I really worked for this one.

  2. It is amazing how the word committment automatically conjures up thoughts of love and marriage - I think both your captures are stunning and although they are of exactly the same thing they are so different and give such different moods....WELL DONE I think they are great!

  13. wow! Those heart shape shadows are awesome!!!!! Nice work!! and did you two each pick the same verse in the bible, too? Couldn't tell with the different language..

  14. HI Barb, nope, not the same verse. Mine is 1 Corinthians 13 - the bit about love. I think Shayne's is from Genesis.
