The Daily Struggle for Balance
Uploaded: May 15, 2007
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) #655762Michelle R. Kovach May 15, 2007 0
