a photo mom: Urban Photo Safari 2008

On Saturday I participated in this really fun event. It was the Urban Photo Safari. I think this is the 7 year that Dean Olufson has been putting this event together. All money donated is being donated to a great charity, Reaching Out Incorporated.

For the Urban Photo Safari everyone meets at a starting place, this year it was Indicia Design. We all check in, are given a map and then are given 4 hours to explore and take as many pictures as we wanted. We just needed to take a minimum of 10 pictures and one self portrait. I of course took way more than 10 ~ it was something in the range of 150+! Imagine that. Though many of the pictures I took were just 5 or 6 pictures of the same subject.

Anyway, below are my entries to the contest (there are 9 here and the 10th picture is in the "God Is.." post below). Later this week everyone that participated get to vote on their favorites. Feel free to post your comments below. All of these pictures are SOOC (straight out of the camera). No funny work with Photoshop here.
