Friday Bits: 30 Pictures
Because it was a short and busy week, I didn’t dive into the blogland enough to put together a typical Friday Bits with finds. But earlier this week Sandra’s post of 30 Pictures really moved me, and I thought it would be fun to dig around my photos for specific photos that meant something to me as well. So, here we go. Feel free to do your own as well, it’s pretty fun to hunt for photos, and is more interesting than the typical meme/survey passed around.

Great post idea. I was pleased to see a Canon A-1 in several shots! I got one a few months back, and absolutely love it. What lens do you use with it?
Thanks,
Elle

I love that your photos are so honest Kate. Even the sub titles. Simple and true. The younger photo of you kills me…I think we all went through the “hair phase”. Although that strawberry blonde does work on you. My dark brown/ almost black natural to platinum blonde was such a bad 19 year old phase. (You might see it on my 30 post soon)

I really love your photo picks for this little post. I think I started the similar, but it was a 30 day challenge w/ a different photo everyday and I haven’t been keeping it up. :/ I need to be better about taking and organizing my photos.

Love, love, love this post! And what a great idea! I agree. This is definitely better than the typical surveys that usually show up on blogs. I like the idea of getting to see a visual glimpse of what’s important to a person, ya know? Anyways, great photos as usual!
