So, I failed miserably at this project (cue sad music). My final product was much too embarrassing to post, so instead I am just posting a still-frame of the image. The theme this week was “The People Who Keep You Sane” and the technique we were working on is Cinematography. Click here for some amazing examples of cinemagraphs. My first thought was to create a cinematographic image with my friends as they are a huge element in my life for keeping me sane. But then I felt bad for excluding anyone in particular because I just love them all so much. Then I thought about using my awesome barista peeps at Starbucks because they REALLY keep me sane pretty much every day. But that proved to be too difficult. So instead, you get the Starbucks chick on the cup. Let’s just say she stands for all of those awesome Starbucks people who make my day. My husband went to get me a coffee one morning and my favorite Starbucks barista gal recognized him and wrote a lovely message on my cup. I know it’s sad, but it makes me oh so happy! I’ve decided life is too short to give up on the little things that bring happiness and joy to my life. And if an iced coffee can do that, then I’m ALL for it!
