30.3 - TessaVanessa's Task: Picture this

This is a 2 book task. Choose two different options, and state in your post which options you chose.

One of my favorite hobbies besides reading is taking pictures. Lately I have been getting some great pictures on my phone, but I want a real camera again. I have employed several ways to save money for this including clipping coupons, taking online surveys and playing games online with rewards.

Option 1: Say Cheese!
Say cheese is a signal to the subject of a photograph to smile. The person taking the photograph utters “say cheese” at the moment right before he takes the photograph. Speaking the word cheese causes the lips to naturally draw back to expose the teeth. The first photographer who used this technique to encourage his subjects to smile is unknown, though there are some who believe it was a politician who originated the trick.

Read a book with a camera on the cover.

This list may be helpful, but the book does not have to appear on the list. Camera on the Cover.

REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.

Option 2: A picture is worth a thousand words
I grew up going to the library at least once a week and during the summer multiple times. I still love to read picture books. The illustrations in some are outstanding.

Read an adult book (one that does not have the children's/kids genre) written by a single author who has also written a children’s picture book that is on Goodreads and has a MPG of Picture Books alone or imbedded.

The picture book must be by the same author (no pseudonyms) as the adult book, and cannot have a co-author. Note that illustrators are not authors.

Required: You must include in your post a link to at least one picture book the author has written.

Examples: Bel Canto and Lambslide, both by Ann Patchett; Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance and Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, both by Barack Obama.

Option 3: “A good cover has a distinct silhouette” --J. C. Leyendecker

Silhouette photography is a wonderful way to convey drama, mystery, emotion and mood in a picture. A silhouette is defined as a view of an object or a scene consisting of the outline and a featureless interior, with the silhouetted object usually being black.
Choose a book from this list of Silhouette Covers.
Required: Post the page number the book is found on.

Option 4: Zoom in
Macro photography is about taking extremely close-up photographs of the subjects. A life-size zoom on insects, flowers, or snowflakes often create amazing work of art. I love zooming in on insects feasting on the pollen of my flowers.

Read a book by a single author where the initials of the author's first and last name (ignore middle names/initials) can be found in either FLOWERS or INSECTS.

It looks like they all would work. They camera in the first one looks a little blurry to me, but my glasses need changed. :)
