Last night, I was wrapping up my June 2010 Photo Hunt when I looked around my hotel room and saw some interesting elements that needed to be photographed. By the way, I will officially be unveiling my photo hunt items tomorrow, so please come back tomorrow to check out my work! The first of these “elements” was perfect for my POTW challenge: shutter speed. Yeah, I’m lame and went back to the ever popular water rushing over a cup in the sink.

This week’s In a Yellow House theme is Travel (how appropriate as I get on an airplane today and tomorrow). I decided that I would photograph my old passport (when I changed my name, I had to get a new one). This particular passport took me to Dubai and went with us on our honeymoon.

I should be packing for my trip to Philadelphia tomorrow, but I’d much rather set up for tomorrow’s photography challenges (by the way, there are entirely too many so I’m going to take off a week from a few – sorry). I emailed Faith earlier tonight to find out what her challenge would be…she quickly replied, “corners of your home.” Well, this particular challenge caused me to look at the corners of my home (almost literally) in a new perspective. I wanted to share just a couple of my photos. This first one is the knobs of one of our tables/chests in...
