D102: Frozen Images from the Ledge

I’m in Tennessee, somewhere in the freezing cold mountains. Literally. I had NO idea it was so cold here. I guess I skipped this section in my geography class.

My friend Chase will probably school me since this is his home state, but I’m seriously drawing a blank on TN history. Driving to our destination... [Read More...]

D101: Theme Thursday—Celebrate!

D55: Bring Others Along for the Ride

Whether it’s a long roadtrip, cross country plane ride, or yearlong photography journey, going it alone can’t compare to sharing the ride with others. When I started this challenge, I thought I might find a friend or two to join me. Never did I imagine that over 200 people would join and more... [Read More...]

D8: Worldwide Photo Moment Captured

Surely there have been Worldwide Moments throughout history. Whether they are collective moments of peace, victory, and pride or even moments of mass fear and terror. Our lives are made up of moments: compelling and unforgettable. Today I experienced a serendipitous moment when I tweeted about today’s photo. I needed an idea, some inspiration. I had spent all day editing photos from my latest California teen photo shoot, so my brain wasn’t... [Read More...]
