The Daily Struggle for Balance


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   The Daily Struggle for Balance
The Daily Struggle for Balance
f8.0, ISO 100, 1 Studio Light & 1 Shoot-through Umbrella.

I taped colored pieces of paper around some clear plastic photo storage boxes, arranged them on the plate, & added text in PSP.
I had more boxes, but much like real life, they kept falling off the plate! LOL

I wanted to illustrate the daily struggles & the balancing acts we keep on our proverbial plates of life.

My Entry for the 101 "What's On Your Plate?" Theme.

This is great. I have learned in my own life if you make time for God first, prayer & communion, the rest of your time will be as it should be. :0)

  WOW, don't the food people will be looking for. But I love it. It is so hard to balance all those things on your plate. But with Gods help, we get by. Wonderful twist on the theme. :O)

  Thank You Doc!
I was originally planning on taking a food shot, or reposting another one from the past, but this idea came to me & I had to give it a shot.
No one said I couldn't break the rules! LOL

Happy Theme Day!
Michelle
