Challenge: emotion

Hosted by: jessa

Well guys, I don't know about you, but that last challenge ended really quickly for me! I was shocked when I came on today and it was already over. Thank you Jayhuff for a really challenging [at least for me] bi-weekly challenge, and for passing the torch to me.

I thought long and hard about what I want this challenge to be. I wanted to pick something that would be a challenge for myself as well as the rest of you. So after two weeks of contemplation, I decided that I want to see some emotion.

So this weeks challenge will be to capture moments that have some sort of raw emotion in them. Whether the subjects are caught in an emotional state, or the scene just sparked some emotion inside of you. Love, anger, happiness, depression, Popup Link excitement, hope, longing, any sentiment goes. But if it is a photo that made you emotional, please give us a little explanation.

Example: Popup Link This shot is really sentimental to me because running has always been an outlet in my life. I took this when I felt like I just needed to get away from my life for a moment, and I think it shows in the shot.

Of course, please don't feel confined to my example. The sky's the limit here, folks. You may submit old shots, but I'd mostly like to see new ones :)

I will be passing the torch to... [drum roll please]...

BOJOLEE!

Happy hunting everyone!

You really do want to challenge us, don't you Jessa. I will work hard at this one. I think that I can do this at school without giving away the children's identity.

Great idea , jessa! Thanks to Jayhuff for the great stranger challenge this is going to be another tough one for me. But I just came from a wedding last night so I should be able to start there.

great theme...got to think on this one :)

That was really funny! I didn't open the photographica page during the last 10 days, since I was busy with some bussiness in Oslo, but I asked myself what theme I would like to see on the site and I wondered about "feelings" and "emotions". It was really odd to discover that this was actually the proposed theme by Jessa. Good choice!

I am glad I joined the PHOTOGRAPHICA and made it on time for the challenge. Good theme. Emotion is the key ingredient of any photo. Thanks, Jessa
