Superhero Photo Challenge: Up with silly!

This was one of my favorite photos from the Shutter Sisters walk during Blogher. (This photo is by Damaris) We had walked for over an hour through Chinatown, meticulously shooting paper lanterns, colorful umbrellas all in a row, a bride and groom rushing down Stockton Street...But in the end, this is the shot I love best.

We're at the end of our walk. We finally found the chickens hanging in the window that one of the food bloggers wanted to capture, and we all decided to devour some potstickers. This photo is of course a full documentation of said potstickers.

In my constant search for beauty, in my quest to be artistic, I often forget to capture the silly, the messy, the moment.This week's challenge is to do just that. Up with siily! Up with the snapshot! Let go of technique and show us something that just makes you grin.

I can't believe I get to be first.

This is one of my favorite pictures of this one. Not because she looks adorable, but because I'd caught her playing with her food. It wasn't a planned silly moment, but it sure makes me smile when I see it.

THAT is hilarious.

My daughter and her friends are constantly giving me opportunity to capture the silly moments. This is a picture of the most recent act of silliness. They were trying to act out a movie and have me guess what movie it was because it was from back in the day. Take a look.

I love that photo too! It's times like these when I really wish I had a scanner to scan some of my old prints.

This photo might not win any awards, but I love it because it reminds me of when my son was hysterical over the fact that his uncle was putting the puzzle pieces into the wrong places!

ninety eight% of life
is not beauty/artistic,
it is the above,
relationships.

I considered taking a "national geographic" nature shot-- but decided BEING SILLY was too tempting with this big slimey slug.

I think 50% of my photos of the pup are silly; he is not the type of dog that sits agreeably and poses for photos. :-)

Thanks for sharing!

I can't believe the picture that I took with my crappy point and shoot camera made it to shutter sisters. Nice!
I wasn't even going on the walk because I was intimidated by everyone's nice camera. Thanks for making me feel welcome and thanks for letting me take pictures of what I love most; people and food!
