We were up in Edmonton for the Synchro Alberta Provincials competition this past weekend. This was my daughter's first out-of-town competition of the season and I figured there would be plenty of photographers around to try and capture for this week's 'Other Photographers' theme. I noticed a couple of them opted to shoot from the diving platforms above the pool – one on the 3m and the other on the 5m. Not sure if I could have done that myself. Not really because of the height, but because I'd be too paranoid of leaning forward just a little too far and falling in.

For this week's 'Shadows' Project52 topic, here's a simple shot of some trees' shadows I caught against this building. I thought they made an interesting addition to the stark white canvas material on the roof here.

This week's Project52 theme was 'Signs'. I took a number of photos throughout the week of various signs around town, but ultimately decided on this one that I took on the weekend while we were at my daughter's second synchro competition in as many weeks. I was hoping to catch a swimmer in a move similar to what was on the sign, but I guess they don't fall backwards very much. :)

For this week's Project52 theme, 'Eyes', I chose this shot of my daughter swimming. She is a national level synchronized swimmer and had her first competition of the season this weekend. Of course, I was on-hand shooting a lot of the action and caught this one of her during her solo routine. She's doing a spin with her hand in the water, which creates the curtain of water as she goes. I'm glad I was able to catch it so that she can be seen peeking through a gap in the splash.

For this week, the Project52 theme is 'Up'. I had a couple of ideas of things to shoot for this, but finally decided on this one. With a two year old at home, I imagined that this would be how the kitchen looks to her – handles out of reach, but begging to be grabbed.
