Word Up

February 28, 2009 By shutter sisters

{true love}

 

As February comes to an end—where does the time go?—we wrap up the first month of our One Word Project. With the rich list of words that you all brought to the project, the images that have been gathering in our Flickr pool have been inspiring and inventive. What an experience it has been! Exceptional work sisters. We so appreciate the focus from all of you this month. It has made this project such fun!

 

Tomorrow we begin a new month of the project, where there will be one word (the same word) for all of us to interpret. We’ll be announcing the mystery word, new sponsor and fantabulously fun giveaways in tomorrow’s post but for now we want to acknowledge all of the awesome shots you shared this month. Thank you all.

 

A special thanks to Lensbaby for sponsoring February’s One Word Project and for encouraging us to mix things up and bend the rules sometimes.

 

We’ll end with the announcement of the winner of Lensbaby Composer—drum drum roll please—Leaca of Simply Blogged who’s tender image of amore carried us away. Congrats to you Leaca. We know you’ll be a great mama to your new Baby!

 

Today, as we wind down the month and poise ourselves for the next, please share a link to your favorite shot from the project (something you shot or something from someone else). Come on, inspire us.

    What inspiring images!!! I really should get myself started on flicker. My own personal word for February was ‘connect..and to that end – I tried to infuse my images with more ‘people’,,which brought its own challenges. Here are 2 from this month:

    Yeah for Leaca, sweet prize to help her make it through till spring!! She has lots of great shots on her stream!
    My own fave is an archived one from our first digital vacation, I love that I was able to "fix" it up now that I have PS, back then I didn’t.

    Congratulations Leaca. I love looking through your photostream. I didn’t have many images this month but what I have is linked below. There’s so much talent out there.

    I am also celebrating my 250th post. I’ve only been doing this since August and I love to be inspired by all of you. I particularly love this site and I come here all the time. Thanks Shutter Sisters for helping me along my creative walk.

    Congrats Leaca!

    I didn’t participate this month, but look forward to joining in for March! I was a bit overwhelmed with the new camera and have been focusing on learning it this last month.

    With that said, I don’t have any of my own favorites to share, but I found one I love for promise… AND inspired me with a few pictures I’ve been taking!
