photography for doers and dreamers
There is tinsel on my Christmas tree. You may not know this, but I’m not really a tinsel kind of girl. I like things a little more plain and simple. More focus on lights and ornaments, less on the fake silver stuff. But there it is on my tree. One word: Kids. They wanted tinsel. [...]
We went Christmas tree shopping tonight. It’s a first for us to get our tree before December! Last year at this time we were preparing to move cross country. Little did we know we wouldn’t see our stuff, including Christmas decorations and gifts, until an entire month later! I saw the light illuminating these branches [...]
Christmas! The lights are up, the trees are lit, the Starbucks cups are red. Until today, it didn’t seem like the Christmas season had arrived. But after a trip to the Georgia Mall, I’m convinced that the season has arrived. Nothing says Christmas like strings of beautiful lights. I have a feeling many of the days [...]
I’ve got something special for you today…a chance to win a $25 gift card. Keep reading to find out how. It was a great day. I’m feeling better. There’s no place like home. And no better friends than my fellow tasra365-ers. So I’m giving away two $25 gift cards to my OpenSky shop. I’ve just [...]
Some things never seem to change. Every time I go on vacation, I pack all the books, magazines, DVDs, and projects that I haven’t been able to read, watch, and do in my regular life at home. I have high hopes of being able to finally get caught up. I have visions of once and [...]
As ten amazing unsung heroes stated tonight on CNN’s Thanksgiving special… Do it. Live it. Become it. Be the star in someone else’s life, even if it’s just one person. Be the hero for someone who desperately needs one. Unleash and unlock your inner hero. Be the star that shines a light in a dark [...]
Still sucking down lemons. Am voiceless today as it hurts far too much to speak. It’s interesting to spend a day in silence, not hearing my own voice. Actually quite calming. Forces me to be more present for others as I communicate without words. Needless to say, I’ve been doing a detox diet the last [...]
A bridge from here to there. Accept where you are now, but don’t stay there. Begin building the bridge to where you want to be. It’s not as hard as it might seem. See where you want to go. Can you see it? I can. I want to improve my photography. Every day I add [...]
It’s a tired cliche I know, but that doesn’t make it any less true. I’m living a perfect example of making lemonade out of lemons right now. We’re on vacation for the first time in years, and I promptly get sick. Sucking on a sour lemon would mean complaining and moaning about it. Making lemonade [...]
Decided to try something new today—a study in texture. Of course converting to black and white keeps the focus on the texture and form rather than the color. One clear lesson I’m always reminded of when I give myself an assignment pre-shoot is how differently I see things. If I have no specific vision of [...]
