What is Already There

Oct 5, 2011 | photojournal

In our last assignment Kat said, “Much of finding your eye is just learning to recognize what is already there!” I was a little more skeptical. My pictures just seem so much more varied and random. But then I followed her directions and created a...

Fifty Shots

Oct 5, 2011 | photography

Looking back through my new “Favorites” set, I discovered that my most photographed subject was really a location — my foyer. The light is great in the afternoon — nice and bright — and the space is open and uncluttered (unlike the rest...
Texture Tuesday — Gratitude

Texture Tuesday — Gratitude

Oct 4, 2011 | Textures

Gratitude is the art of seeing the sun in the mud puddles… After all most two solid weeks of rain, I finally decided to give up and go with it yesterday and then as I was trying to see if I could get an interesting reflection from the puddle of standing water on...

I’d hoped to do a little bit more — Kim gave us such a great theme! But, it’s been a little busy. Yeah, I know, my usual lame excuse… ; ) The quote is from St. Thomas Aquinas, although I don’t know where exactly since I found it on...

It’s a Bust…

The whole street photography thing, that is. I really thought I would be out and about more once everyone was back in school and our routine had firmed up a little bit. Oh well. I’m lucky I’m even getting in a photo-a-day still — even though most of...

Sep 14, 2011 | inspirations, just everyday

Just thought I’d post some interesting links from my tab bar… little nuggets of gold that I’ve come across… ; ) 1. Intro to Portrait Lighting from Cambridge in Colour. I really like the tutorials on this site — they are very well put...

Texture Tuesday — Do

Sep 13, 2011 | Uncategorized

Kim certainly challenged us this week with the “DO” theme, didn’t she? I was glad for the challenge though — a chance to stretch those creative muscles a little bit. One of the meanings of do is to “cause to bring forth” according...

because I’m still trying to cram five days worth of stuff into them! In no particular order (since I’m just trying to catch up) here are some interesting things. Texture Tuesday and here is the layers palette screen shot. I really did a lot with this image...
