“Playing Nicely” Well, today was an epic fail all the way around – technically and creatively. The start of the spring semester has really messed up my photo taking routine. I decided that I better be prepared for my classes tomorrow so it was dark by the time I got to my photo. Most nights, the cat sits and waits for the dog to round the corner and then takes a paw to her and much motion ensues. I was…
“Live!” I resolve to live each day to its fullest, not wasting precious time dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
“Harley’s Bath Day” Thanks to the warm weather and the help of her human big sister, Harley had a bath today. I am absolutely sure that this is not how she would have chosen to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon given a choice.
“Cheese” The intended subject for today’s prompt was a landscape. we were to intentional place the horizon. A landscape photo was not happening for me today; I had way too many other things to be doing and did not have time to go out looking. Fortunately, I got a lot of landscape practice last weekend in Delaware. I could have cheated a little and used one of the photos that I took over the weekend. I was torn between following…
“My New Jacket” For Christmas I asked for a North Face Denali jacket. I didn’t specify a color, but anyone willing to spend the money to buy me this jacket knows me well enough to know that I would definitely want blue. In doing his Christmas shopping, Weber discover that North Face has an option where you can design your own jacket – choose the polar fleece color, the nylon, the zippers, the stitching, and they include an embroidered personal…
Geodesic Gnome Dome Food photography is not my forte. And, I am a firm believer that bad food photography is the worst kind of bad photography. Every time a prompt surfaces that involves food, I tend to think, think, rethink, and overthink…as was the case today. To make matters worse, today’s prompt implied that the food shot should be a clever…oh great. I thought about it for awhile. The picture below is my response. It is a take on something…
“Stability” I am focused on this week’s overarching photo theme of balance. Weber is pretty good about talking sense into me when I am way off base, he’ll hold my hand to keep me from straying too far off the path, and he’ll stand with me to help me stay grounded. Trust me, all of that is hard work! As classes started today with my ridiculous teaching load and I am still in the midst of settling my dad’s affairs,…
“Good-bye, Lewes.” A lonely tree on the way out of town…
“Balance and Sacrifice” We are in Delaware going through all of the stuff in my dad’s house. It was my grandparents so there is two generations and then some of family “stuff” here. I am trying to make decisions about what to keep for me and for my girls, what to donate, what to auction, and what to get rid of. I am doing my best to be realistic about what we can use and what we have room for…
“Sand” There was no powdery snow in Lewes today, but there was some loose sand on the beach.
