I guess it is time to release my full album from +Chrysta Rae's Photography Scavenger Hunt by +Chrysta Rae . I had participated before, and I wasn't certain I wanted to do it again, as I put a lot of effort into my entries. My children begged me. They love the hunt. I decided to participate again, with the understanding that they'd help me, and we'd do it as an art history lesson. We studied and looked up famous works of art, we talked about what made them what they were. We practiced posing like them, and we did the hunt together. We did a theme within a theme. Famous works of art, using my kids either as models or helping me with the set up and execution. I feel that I succeeded in this hunt because I brought my kids into my photography, introduced them to artists and genres, and hunters were able to identify all the works of art or artists that I was working on learning from. It was a great experience and one I'm very glad I took part of. Thank you, +Chrysta Rae for all the work you put in, thank you +Sandra Parlow , +Brian Matiash , +RC Concepcion and +Alan Shapiro for your judging. And thanks most of all to the fellow hunters, without you, this would have been a very solitary experience. With you, it becomes a pleasure and delight. Your creations astound me. So glad to be a small part in this great game. #blog

Precious!
+Erika Thornes *You* are an inspiration. This is incredible work.
innocence personified..
It makes for a brilliant album now that I can see the art history theme! I'm extremely rusty but I recognize Monet, Warhol, Munch (not sure of the spelling ?) and a few I recognize but can't quite come up with the name. It was a pleasure and an honor hunting with you
Great Album
Great work +Erika Thornes! I especially like the little girl shot with the DaVinci textures. That one really stands out to me.
I enjoy your photos so much! great album!
you did so well Ericka! I love that you made this a family art history project! Good for you!!
Best total album.
+Erika Thornes, I shared this album with a friend as inspiration for a homeschooling project. Your photos are incredible. I can't believe you stuck to a theme-within-a-theme and still did so well.

Thanks! It was fun, and I learned a lot. But, it makes me realize how much more I have to learn! Funny how that can of worms gets opened isn't it?

Somehow my comment ended on kirks post so I repeat: you totally rocked it this time!
Wow! What an inspiration! What a great idea to make it a family affair and a learning opportunity for your kids. They will always remember it.
I love seeing the whole album. I think you and +Jake Johnson may be starting a trend with this theme within a theme idea.
The idea of how you involved your kids in the realization of that album is excellent and the execution is simply perfect!
absolutly stunning pics and so good that your kids helped you
You are simply amazing +Erika Thornes. And talented. And amazing. All of these photographs are stunning!
