Team-Up Thursday - Numbers

Jen and I picked the theme numbers this week. I saw numbers everywhere but just could not find anything I wanted to photograph. I tried to take a shot of my calendar, but it just looked chaotic, I tried the button of the phone, it was uninspiring.

Then on Wednesday morning I started to pick up cars off the living room floor. I was curious about how many I had picked up so I counted them. Then it hit me. So I arranged them in the number and took the photo. It's not the best photograph, but I think it's fun.

I like the different font's in Jen's and as always she captures great DOF. I was intrigued by what is was too. Jen said it was a bunch of numbers in different font's she typed up and printed out. I like how she thought outside the box. I thought it was a secret code.

I also am enjoying the striking contrast between the two, B&W vs color.

  1. I'm going to admit that I'm so obsessive compulsive that I counted the vehicles to see if there were indeed 58. LOL! Great idea to go with the theme. :)

  2. Brilliant, Cara! I really love this one...I think all mothers can relate (except it would be stuffed animals here!). It's amazing to me that 58 cars really doesn't look like much when they're all lined up like that...I bet it seemed like WAY more than that when scattered all over the room, tho!

  4. I really LOVE your dip this week - there's a lot of geometry involved in the bottom photo - to make it THAT size and come out even (know what I mean) - nice and colorful too! YES, I CAN relate to these crazy cars - stepped on plenty of them IN THE DARK!!!!

    Love the variety of fonts in the top photo and love how the two mesh so well together. NICE JOB, TEAM!

  5. Cara - what a great idea - I love that sooo much - gorgeous! Funny thing is my first thoughts with the theme numbers were exactly the same as yours - calendar, phone or blackberrys numbers....

    I also absolutely love Jen's idea - fantastic. Am curious about your next weeks theme ..... will pop by every now and then.... love being part of that team up thursday family :)
    Have a great weekend

  11. The font photo is lovely and yours is genius! On so many days, 58 toy cars really is parenting in a nutshell (or toybox?).
