Monday Photo Shoot

Monday Photo Shoot: Personal Gifts

Every now and again it's nice to do a little something for yourself -- and that's the theme of this week's Monday Photo Shoot:

Your Monday Photo Shoot: Take a picture of something nice/fun/interesting that you recently bought for yourself. That means something you bought because you said to yourself "hey, that would be nice to have," as opposed to, say "hey, this is something I have to get." So, for example, that package of tube socks that you just bought would not qualify for photo shoot -- but a pair of multicolored knee-high socks with kittens on them would. It's all about the delivery, you see.

    This was easy as for my birthday last month I bought myself something I had been wanting for awhile.  It is called Under Clouds of Gold and Greg Kiser of Four Forty-Six Photography took the shot.  It went wonderful with a similar picture I had and it had a perfect frame for it also.  Check out the one in his gallery as it is a better shot then the one I took with my camera, too much glare.  It was a wonderful present to myself.
