The Call: Rainy Day — Jessica I got as close to the car and rain as I dared. If I could have gotten nearer I could have gotten more detail in the rain. As it was, I was holding two grocery bags and a 12 pack of soda while trying not to get my phone […]
The Response: Pay Attention! — Jessica Attention to detail is not my strong suite. In fact, that is a giant understatement. It’s my biggest weakness. I think it affects the way I photograph. You know, we’ve talked before, about how I need to have at least a partially developed idea of where I want to […]
The Call: Look Closely — Cheryl If you’re not paying attention, you might miss the spider in the center of this flower. I almost did.
The Response: Pages and Pages of Dolls and Their Accoutrements — Cheryl The calendar marches towards December 25th, and the mailbox holds more and more excitement for my kids.
The Call: Come Here Puppies — Jessica Not exactly the photo that I had in my head…but that’s what happens until you don’t start trying to get it until late at night. Gregory (you can see his feet) was holding the dogs by their collars and then releasing them when I called them. As I […]
The Response: Front Yard from Upstairs — Jessica Trees can change a lot based on your perspective.
The Call: Dark and Light — Cheryl The leaves on the trees in my yard are predominantly yellow, which might seem a bit boring, but when the sun hits them in the afternoon, I almost always grab my camera.
The Response: Doing What It’s Supposed to Do — Cheryl It seems to me that a rosebush’s purpose is to produce roses. I’m quite pleased that this one is living up to its potential — fulfilling its purpose, if you will — especially now, when few other flowers are in bloom.
The Call: Gala Dinner — Jessica There is always a nice sense of fulfillment seeing something that you have created on screen, printed and tangible. Last week was very hectic trying to get in all the edits and new additions to the dinner program, but we did it and it made it to the printer […]
The Response: Afternoon Sun Through the Blinds — Jessica I’m renting a Canon 35mm f1.4 lens for the weekend because I will be shooting a golf tournament and gala dinner/auction on Monday and I needed something wide and fast and lighter than what I currently owned for the evening interior shots. (It’s all volunteer — […]
The Call: Take Me Seriously, Please — Cheryl I finally ordered business cards from Moo, and they arrived yesterday. I love them, and will likely be giving them out like candy at a parade just so I can order another batch with different images.
The Response: Silver on My Wrist — Cheryl I made the two chain maille bracelets and have been wearing them for years; I found the Citizen Eco-drive watch in the glove compartment of the A4 we bought in the spring; the Claddaugh is a gift from my sister; and the bangles are long-ago TJ Maxx […]
The Call: Mother Seton — Jessica Well, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton actually. She is very popular around here since she was from just up the road a bit in Northern Maryland. I thought the metal had a gleaming quality to it. So, as I was waiting for the children to finish up an afterschool activity, […]
