Assignment: 10 Minutes From Home

Submission: "Mailboxes with Character"

This week's DPS assignment is "10 minutes from home" ~ walk, bike, drive or fly exactly 10 minutes from where you live and shoot what's there. No 9 minute or 11 minute trips. On my way to a friend's house today, I came across these rural mailboxes exactly 10 minutes from my home. I pulled over and took several fun shots.

Yesterday, I had also taken some pictures for this assignment. Here are a couple photos from that shoot. I was actually debating between the fire hydrant and the mailboxes for my submission. I drove 10 minutes the opposite direction from today's shoot. It took me to the new Fry's Marketplace center that just opened last week. I really enjoyed this assignment. :)

Great photos! Choosing between the mailboxes and hydrant would have been a hard choice for me, but I do think I prefer the mailboxes. I need to get into the DPS assignments. I recently moved and then with a full time job plus 6 photo shoots over 2 weekends and all the editing, I have just been super busy. No more excuses though because I am sure the assignments will help me in creativity and to improve.

Oh how pretty! I like your mailboxes shot. I do the DPS assignments too! (but had to pass on this one, recovering from surgery and couldn't walk or drive)
