I often tell my kids "just give me 10 minutes of cooperation" when I'm trying to capture them. I set my timer on my phone and when the alarm goes off, we are done. It works for us (sometimes). My talented friend Dana Pugh of Short and Sweet Photography has taken this to an even more difficult level and has started a blog called the 5 Minute Project. Different photographers from all over capture what the world looks like to them in just 5 minutes and share it on the awesome blog. I am in love with the concept. I love the challenge of creating quickly and seeing what I can get in such a short amount of time. It's a good creative exercise for me. Here is what my world looks like in 5 minutes...just a regular old evening in our front yard...me chasing my messy faced, tousled hair gal...
