sunflare: cedar point

carrie & mike at cedar point (day 25 of the 30 day photo challenge: sunflare)

I encountered difficulty with today’s theme for the Photo Challenge: Sunflare. Typically, for a sunflare, you need sun… and I’ve just moved back to Cleveland*. We don’t get many sunny days, today included.

So I was forced to scour my photo archives until I finally stumbled upon this sunflare-blessed photo: my friends Carrie and Mike, riding the mine ride at Cedar Point nearly two years ago. I feel that cameras were meant to capture candid moments between people, and display, in a still image, a perfect conveyance of a relationship. Carrie’s expression is certainly due to the bright sun, but it’s still one that she wears frequently in Mike’s presence: a cross between irritation and amusement.

Catching these moments between people, or moments between people and their inner selves, is a topic I am considering exploring in my Independent Study photography class this semester. It’s something I haven’t practiced much, but I think it would lead to some wonderful and very expressive photos.

This photo is part of oh so lovely’s 30 Day Photo Challenge. Today is Day 25: Sunflare.

*The move explains the recent lag in photo challenge postings. I’m almost settled now, though, and I’m planning to finish the month strong!

maverick roller coaster at cedar point

As part of a class organized trip, we spent the day at Cedar Point. It was awesome. My third time there, and there were short lines, plenty of clouds, and awesome rides. Millenium Force is probably my all-time favorite roller coaster, but the new Maverick (which i had never been on) was a really, really great ride. I love roller coasters.
