The Response: Dessert Bowls — Cheryl I loved this Call. I got out my black tri-fold board, a flashlight, and a number of curvaceous objects, and have lots of shots to play with now. I didn’t even think of these bowls at first. Stella asked for Hershey’s Kisses, and I served them up in the […]
The Call: Orange Curve — Jessica It was another frustrating day climbing the multiple exposure curve — so here is a straight-forward shot of the orange. Maybe I’ll try some larger subject /landscape ME shots next time, but for the past few days, I’m just NOT loving the images I’m getting and I feel hopelessly […]
The Response: Persian Lilies — Jessica The nice thing about abstracts is that you can turn them anyway you like and they sometimes work better… I’m completely self-taught when it comes to photography and photoshop. Other than a few online courses, everything I learned was either through books or playing around. Now, I’m facing another […]
The Call: Learning from My Mistakes — Cheryl The first time I ever heard the phrase “teachable moment” I was writing for The Denver Catholic Register, and the archbishop or pope had said it. I think of it every now and again when the kids encounter a situation I had hoped to spare them (it […]
The Response: Blue with Cold — Cheryl This was a tough image to finalize. I played with temperature, clarity, tint, saturation. The multiple exposure sometimes throws me for a loop.

The Call: Frozen Bubbles — Jessica Well, I had the best of intentions today but somehow never was able to pick up the camera until it was late. Which means that I was rushing to find a subject and feeling the pressure of time does NOT help my creative process. Oh well. There’s always tomorrow.
The Response: Lily Kaleidoscope — Jessica I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with the multiple exposure function on my camera. It will blend up to nine images, but I had only ever used it to take three or four at the most. Well, I was curious how many I could pack in there […]
The Call: Inquisitive Red Squirrel — Cheryl I glanced out the window and caught this little guy popping out of the snow to have a look around. It took more than a minute or two to satisfy his curiosity. Once he was good to go, he headed back down under.
The Response: Shocking Pink Glove — Cheryl Bridget’s orthodontist appointment today meant that I had to leave the house. It was toasty in the car, but my colorful gloves were handy when I had to step out of it into the air that registered right around zero degrees on the thermometer.
The Call: Orange Sections — Jessica The late afternoon sun was coming in and out of the clouds and when it peeked out for a few minutes I was able to catch it backlighting the orange sections that were sitting on my black granite countertop. Easy peasy! ; )
