Challenge: Two Subjects. This “theme” is more of a composition challenge. Share a picture with two subjects! A few months ago I photographed my sister-in-law and her family so they could have a non-cheesy Christmas card to send out to loved ones. There is nothing worse than receiving a Christmas card that looks like it could…
I’ve been thinking about you a lot today, old friend. I don’t let myself think about you too often, it still makes me sad. I’m scared of driving down the road and seeing a Wheaten Terrier happily trotting alongside his owner. All you Wheaten’s have the same sweet eyes and jovial disposition. I’m not sure…
Challenge: Through. Often framing your photo’s composition through something else is the best thing you could do to it. It gives the viewer even more context into what your eye saw in that moment in time. Sometimes it modifies the entire tone or meaning of the photo. Share a picture that means THROUGH to you! The two…
This past Tuesday Isaac and I went to the inlet on Topsail Island. We spent about 2 hours walking around the empty beach; he skipping rocks and me photographing the wildlife. My favorite part was stumbling upon hundreds of crabs digging in the sand!! It was amazing. The beach was so quiet that you could…
SCUBA Diving in the Cenotes of Mexico. I love the contrast of the perfectly blue water with our silhouettes. I wouldn’t go skydiving for $10,000 or a life-time supply of frozen yogurt. Nope, wouldn’t do it. Why would anybody strap on a little backpack with a MAYBE-working parachute inside and jump out of an airplane? It’s ludicrous.…
Anybody who owns a Mac computer knows about Photobooth. It is a program that allows you to distort your image in the webcam and snap pictures. Sure Photobooth is fun for humans, but even more fun to throw your already ugly pets in front of. [Just kidding, I love you Teddy] These are bizarre photos,…
I love vacations because you can indulge in well, everything! When my dad’s side of the family is together, we indulge in Texas Hold ‘Em until the wee hours of the morning. My aunt Po, who recently built the beach house pictured, even created a room called, you guessed it, The Texas Hold ‘Em Room!…
Remember my Weekly Photo Challenge: Regret post? I shared pictures of a one year old binging on birthday cake and the regret that it later caused. Well, last night I had my own binge fest. Much like little Nolan, I also cried. Between the hours of 3pm and 9pm I ate a large serving of…
As I went through my photo library to find a picture that perfectly describes the word “entrance”, I realized something. Every photo that spoke the word “entrance” to me was significant, and sentimental. Each “entrance picture” marked the start of a new adventure, hobby, or chapter of my life. I felt blessed browsing through photos…
