My First PhotoQuest!
OK, so I've been intrigued by the PhotoQuest that I've read about on Flip's blog. So now that I have a computer, a digital camera, AND a blog, I figured it's time to join in the fun. I think I got my photo files reduced so hopefully it won't take incredibly long to load...but I make no guarantees.
The first assigned photo was a shot of where my videos and DVDs go. So...
Please note this is where my DVDs should go. Unfortunately, most of my DVDs were on the floor when I took the first picture:
The second assigned photo was a shot of a bookshelf. I chose the bookshelves that hold most of my children's books. The books are usually crammed onto the shelves instead of sliding over, but I've got about 50 of them scattered all over my apartment because I'm using them in my Advanced Children's Literature class:
The third photo was one of bread, preferably the bread I eat for breakfast. I ate the last of the bread before I took the picture and before I had new camera batteries, so I went to the store and bought more bread and more batteries. The problem is, the person who loaded my bags at the grocery store seemed to think that my loaf of bread would make the perfect cushion for a sack of apples...which mashed the bread. Therefore, this picture is what it looked like when it made it home:
The fourth picture was to be of an emergency exit. I have two for you; one is the traditional emergency exit, and the other is a sign on the door leading to the stairs. I'll tell you why I included that one in a second:
The second photo always makes me smile. The sign says "in case of fire, do not use elevators, use stairs." There are no elevators in my building, nor are there elevators in any of the buildings in my entire complex. Makes no sense to me why there would be a warning about elevators if there isn't any chance one would escape in an elevator anyway...
The final photo for February was to be one of a hobby. I had a problem choosing, because to me "hobby" implies something that one enjoys doing and spends time doing. I like sleeping, but I don't have much time for it. On the other hand, I spend a great deal of time reading textbooks, but I don't particularly enjoy that. But since I wasn't sure I could take a photo of my textbooks for copyright reasons, I just took a picture of my bed because it's what I would like to do...
And that's it. This was fun. I'm glad I got to join in! :)

Great! :) And you're right, the bread looks a little sat at...

Welcome to the Quests, Anna, and great shots! I like Kermit there giving us a little cheesecake with his leg.
And I like your name too.

Great pics! Welcome to the show! Love the commentary and the bed quilt. My wife's hobby is patchwork incidentally but I can't take a pic of that as it isn't my hobby!
