I don’t like oversaturated photos so I rarely increase saturation when I edit photos. The world is already saturated with color everywhere, all the time. http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/photo-challenge-saturated/
Everything has line & pattern. I could not find one photo in my archives that didn’t represent line or pattern in some way. From the obvious to the subtle, from nature to man made, our eyes make sense of the world through line and pattern. They provide structure and consistency. We often take it for…
How can carrots be purple on the outside and yellow on the inside? Not by photoshop, someone actually grew these and gave them to us. Smells like carrots, tastes like carrots, but looks like? Why are some orange inside and some yellow? I guess I’ll have to ask the gardener. Meanwhile, inside the basement…
I’m always looking for a different point of view, in my life or in photography. I find it helpful to look close, look up, or fold myself in various directions in order to see something differently. You never know what you might miss if you just stay in one place or position all the time.…
My First Love – The Sea I was born near the sea, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My parents were living with my grandparents across the street from the beach. My early childhood is so deeply rooted in the sand and surf that it feels like the ocean is my mother. People used to think I…
Focusing at the zoo Easier said than done. Crowds, children underfoot, animals behind glass or cage wire, restless beasts. There were challenges everywhere. Sometimes autofocus is convenient and sometimes it’s ridiculous. Manual focus is a better choice to isolate your subject. Below is my third and last installment of our Franklin Zoo trip. The goats…
I took so many photos at the zoo that I couldn’t post them all at once, so I decided to break it into 3 parts. It was a nice day, warm but not hot. The zoo was busy but not overcrowded. Perfect really. So here’s part 2: There were a lot of exhibits under renovation,…
Annual Summer Family Outing We’ve never had enough money to go on vacations but we usually manage a few locals outings during the year. For the past 3 years we’ve managed to go to a zoo each summer. Considering my kids are all adults now it takes quite a lot of planning to schedule such…
A beautiful video narrated by a little boy who goes on the adventure of his life, because his life may be cut short by unsafe water. Posted by Mom Bloggers for Social Good.
When I think of a masterpiece my mind goes first to the beautiful world God made. So many exquisite details all working together in harmony creating a sensory playground for our delight, an expression of infinite love. It cannot be captured in one photograph. I could spend a lifetime photographing it and still not come…
I had to drag myself out of bed this morning, push myself to make coffee and eat, all the while asking myself “Why am I so tired?” In my head I thought, “This isn’t right, I’ve got to call the doctor.” Then I remembered that it was Wednesday; 10:15 yoga class. “I need it, I’ve…
I’ve missed yoga class for the past couple weeks due to other appointments. The heat and lack of AC at home has kept me running around town in search of cooler places to exist, changing my schedule completely. Oh yoga, where & when can I put you back in my life? Finally I determined to…
