Spoons 04/19 - 04/25 (Jaime)

Sorry I haven't posted in the last couple of weeks. Getting ready for yesterday's move was taking up all of my time.

It was a very busy day yesterday, the movers came at 9 am and left at 9 pm. We now live in an empty house until Thursday and then we're homeless for a week.

You may be asking, what does this have to do with spoons? Well, the movers took everything, so this is what we were left with for breakfast this morning:

Plastic spoons for a week!

Wee, spoons. The challenge with a topic like spoons is that though spoons are easily accessible, I felt like I needed to find a way to make a spoon (or make spoons) artistic. I had trouble with this, so I'm not sure what the response will be for my spoon pictures. I noticed that a spoon kind of looked like a flower petal, so I made a flower out of the spoons:

Then, just for kicks, I did a close-up on the detail on the spoons. Why did I choose a green background? Partially because it's my favorite color, and also because it's symbolizing the grass which the flower grows in?... haha:

I went Hiking to a tea plantation this weekend but before I left I took one of the spoons from my apartment just in case...

I tried several things with my spoon. First I tried an animated GIF because I wanted to do one for a while.



I also took pictures of the spoon in different places


and different poses.


These are the ones that I liked the most.

Spoons? Ok, cool.

I wasn't in the mood to make a spoon sculpture, or filling a spoon up with something (since I don't really cook). Instead I thought I'd go with the sub-theme of "SPOONS IN ACTION!"

So I grabbed my bike, my camera and headed down to the National Mall. After getting into a collision with a novice biker and de-skinning my left hip/cheek (if only the theme this week was skin), then I went down and forgot that they were having concerts on the mall with Earth Day Week. As you know there are a lot of food and DC souvenir stalls next to the museums. So it was time to stalk the tourists and welcome them to DC. Since it was a nice and warm day, ice cream was on the menu. Unfortunately most of them were on sticks or in a cone, but I found some people using spoons!

After stalking about 5 different people with their spoon usage, I decided to merge two pics of the same lady. She was by far enjoying her ice cream the most! And also, she definitely noticed me by the third shot as I tried to pretend that I was taking pictures of the National American History Museum. I was pretty sure she was about to walk over to me and say "wtf?", so I bolted. But I think I got too good ones here, as I was trying not to make her the focal point of the photo, but rather an "action of spoon usage" that accompanied the picture.
