photography for doers and dreamers
Updated: With so many new photogs starting their own 365 photo challenge, I thought it’d be fun to regularly post some flashbacks to 2010 from my tasra365 challenge, starting with 01.01.10. Fun to look back and see the lessons learned and image progression! What’s more fun to shoot than sparkly and shiny jewelry? And even [...]
With more photographers signing up for the tasra365 challenge every week, it’s really starting to catch fire on Twitter! I love seeing the support and encouragement between photographers… no rock star photographers, no levels of pro versus amateur, just a passionate group of creative visionaries aspiring to improve their photography 300% in one year. That [...]
I really can’t believe how quickly one week fades into another. Seems like I was just posting Twitter Tuesday and here it is again! So fun each week to see who is still working to improve their photography 300% in one year and post about it on twitter. We’re getting close to 400 photographers who [...]
You’re all set up for a photo shoot. Maybe it’s one of your first, you’re doing it for free to get practice or build your portfolio. Or perhaps it’s a client that booked you after seeing your images on Facebook or your blog. You’re excited. You’ve looked at images for inspiration. You connected with your [...]
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. [...]
I needed to get out of the house. It was time for a change of scenery. My pictures were feeling ordinary. I needed to shoot something new, different, un-ordinary. So I jumped in the car and followed the setting sun as it cast its warm glow across the trees and made even the traffic on [...]
I’m in awe of the power of Twitter and social media to connect and unite disparate people with similar passions. Today I’m letting Trianglehead (aka Kris Hollingsworth) take over the tasra365 post because I love what he had to say about his photographic journey…. I was stuck in a rut. I had been a computer [...]
At first glance, you might just see two simple leaves. That’s what I saw at first and grabbed this shot inspired by the photographer I mentioned yesterday. However, as I converted to black and white and enhanced the image, I began to study the image, to see beyond the basic. That’s when I started to [...]
tasra365-rollipI absolutely love old photos, even if they’re worn and faded, even if they weren’t composed or exposed properly. There is something about seeing images from the past that makes me feel connected to something bigger than the present day glitz and gloss of modern day living. Just a few days ago I was introduced [...]
There is such a vast difference between a picture you make and a picture you take. Today I was “making” a picture, coming up with an idea for today’s shot when a picture found me. I love those moments.
