On July 15th, I joined several of my Etsy colleagues who are part of Female Photographers of Etsy (fpoe) in a Day in the Life challenge. For purposes of this challenge I used my Canon 5D Mark III coupled with the Canon 50mm 1.4 lens. I found this to be a good combination to be discrete when capturing images in public. For future challenges, I may want to try a different lens and even an iPhone.
This challenge was supposed to result in captures of what my typical day is like. I have learned, though, that no two days are alike, so it was no surprise to me as I looked through my images to share, that my day was very Sofia focused. So this is how my Monday turned out.

Mondays I spend with my almost 2 year old Sofia. This particular Monday was the beginning of what felt like a never ending heat wave. After breakfast, we made our way over to our public library and picked out books to check out. On our way home we stopped at Trader Joe’s for a few things, and most importantly stickers. After a quick lunch it was nap time for Sofia, so I was able to sit down at my desk and do some work for a few hours. We weren’t the only ones who were hot that day – our 15 year old cat, Ally, was as well. Unfortunately, she couldn’t join us at the pool to cool off. Dinner was quick and we ended our day playing outside, in the sprinklers, until Daddy came home and took over for bath. A successful Monday. .jpg)
This was a fantastic challenge and I am looking forward to another one in the near future.
Until next time,
Helen
