The Response: Faith, Home, and Hospitality — Cheryl Well, this is odd. I’m at a loss for words. As I thought about and created this image from three multiple exposure photos (one of a tree and an upper section of my house, and two of the Last Supper plaque hanging next to my front door), […]
The Call: Danny in the Leaves — Jessica When I originally thought of this call, I thought of it in terms of the color wheel and making a photo with an analogous color scheme. But then, last Friday, I finished reading Art & Scholasticism and came across another use of analogous that I thought was […]
The Response: Patch of Green — Jessica I really do have to surrender my childhood belief that March is spring. Here in Virginia it is not at all. The first stanza of T.S. Eliot’s Little Gidding from the Four Quartets says it best: Midwinter spring is its own season Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown, Suspended […]
The Call: Frozen Man and Dog in the Mountains — Cheryl I’m getting better about trusting the work—surrendering myself to it—and letting others find their own meaning in what I create. It is a beautiful thing and has everything in the world (and perhaps whatever comes next) to do with growing in faith. The image […]
The Response: Taking Flight — Cheryl Shifting my focus slightly for each shot in this three-image multiple-exposure netted me the congruent feel I was going for.
The Call: Bottleneck — Jessica Three perspectives of the same bottle, so all shapes are congruent. Just being pretty literal today but some days are like that. I do like the rainbow colors in the background. That was created by taking an out of focus shot of a paper cross that my son filled in […]
The Response: The Earth Dreams of Spring — Jessica I went to the botanical garden down the road today. Again. I had to renew my membership and I wanted to find out when the cherry trees would blossom. I am looking forward to them this year because I can’t wait to try the icm/me technique […]
The Call: It’s Hard to Go Wrong with Flowers — Cheryl Bridget and Henry received lots of flowers after the final performance of The Merchant of Venice. I shot multiple exposure images of them yesterday and liked the results so much, I did it again today.
The Response: As One Incapable of Her Own Distress — Cheryl I have 148 photos from today’s shooting. In looking through them initially, I starred one that really stood out, even though there were many with lots of potential. When I sat down to edit, I didn’t feel like hunting around near the end of […]
The Call: Pears — Jessica It’s taken me almost three days spread out over a week, but I’ve finally watched all of Adam Marelli’s second video on B&H’s YouTube channel. Even though he does more street/documentary/portrait work, I find him endlessly inspirational because he is inspired by art and painting. At the end of the […]
The Response: Through the Window — Jessica The reality of life is such that sometimes you just run out of time. The fact of deadlines means that something must be chosen — even if it isn’t something you consider your best work (or even work that makes sense!) So, here is my sad little contribution […]
The Call: Angel Rose — Cheryl “We are still being taught that fairy tales and myths are to be discarded as soon as we are old enough to understand ‘reality,’” wrote Madeleine L’Engle. Story is a very important theme for her. It goes along with truth and fact, and L’Engle differentiates one from the other. […]
The Response: Whither Thou Goest — Cheryl Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee for whither thou goest I will go I feel like Ruth to Jessica’s Naomi. Since first sharing the amazing multiple exposure images of Valda Bailey, Jessica has led me down a path of artistic expression […]
The Call: Sound — Jessica I was driving home with my daughter this afternoon trying to brainstorm a word for the call. “How about blue?” Catherine offered. “Too easy.” And so it went until I suddenly came upon “eloquent.” Alright. So now to figure out what the heck I’m going to do with that call! […]
