Fourth Call: Lover of the Light — Cheryl Few people in my life get me thinking, pondering and questioning like Jessica. I had long thought of SOOC photography as being “purer” than work tweaked and streaked in Photoshop, but Jessica has turned that on its head. She’s got me thinking of the tools used by […]

The Call: Fence — Jessica “Land is the only true wealth.” — The Secret of Roan Inish (P.S. This is one of my favorite movies!) Response: In the Woods — Cheryl We practically live in the woods. Our land (right around two acres) has way too much vegetation on it (and a great deal of […]

The Call: Sunlight as Bokeh — Cheryl Just because it’s pretty. The Response: Summer Sun — Jessica Final weekend of softball and what a gorgeous day to play!

The Call: Summer Haze — Jessica We seem to have skipped spring and gone straight to mid-summer. The last few days have been full of heat, humidity and haze. Response: Bunny Barber Shop — Cheryl Today at the Maine Fiber Frolic, we watched this angora bunny get shorn. There was a haze of rabbit fur […]

The Call: Petals — Jessica All good things must come to an end. And it was time for the cherry blossoms to fall off the trees but there were helped along by a windy night and a rainy day. Now the sidewalks and gutters are a solid mass of pink. In truth, it’s almost as […]

The Call: Empty Frame — Jessica Somewhere I heard that a photo isn’t finished until it’s printed. Of the 29,000 photos currently sitting on my hard drive do you know how many I’ve printed? Less than 30. Isn’t that awful? Our walls are nearly bare and my hard drive is full — but nobody can […]

The Call: Ice-Coated Road — Cheryl The weather warmed up last night, resulting in pea-soup fog and water on top of any snow/ice that never got cleared away (creating a very slippery surface). This is a situation I generally wouldn’t bother driving into, but Jack had a dental cleaning at 11:30. After the appointment, I […]

The Call: My View — Cheryl One window is all I need To understand the world that lies ahead To see what is in store for my future To learn about the values of life To understand the feelings of others To wander the world with my eyes and heart open To find a love […]

The Call: Lilly — Jessica A sense of wonder at the world and its complexities creates a desire for understanding. Response: Tracings — Cheryl Photography helps me to see the wonder hidden in plain sight all around me.

The Call: Mom’s Recipes — Cheryl A friend of mine once told me that he thinks I’m afraid of food. Unfortunately, he’s right. I am afraid of food, but I feel justified in this weakness. I am so sensitive to gluten, that the last time I got sick from it, I hadn’t even eaten it. […]

The Call: Dragonfly Sunlight — Cheryl Today, I shot more than 150 photos, and I could have used about half of them for today’s call. When you take advantage of the natural light, you get some naturally gorgeous photographs. The Response: Autumn Light — Jessica Light? What can I say? It’s the whole point of […]
