Today was a stressful day, a day I want to forget about. What do I do to forget, pick my camera and take pictures of the simple every day beauty that I see.

8×8 print available in my shop.
Life is busy, busy, busy this week. Hence the short post. I have listed quite a few new prints in my shop. I hope you go have a look. I’m also working on adding photo block prints to sell in the shop. I’ll post here as soon as the first samples are ready.
Have a great rest of the week!

Grateful Monday
May 31st, 2010 · Grateful Mondays, life
- I’m grateful for capturing that cute moment above. I don’t get how babies can sleep comfortably with their bums in the air, but they do.
- My father’s tumor has decreased dramaticly and he is responding well to radiation and chemo treatments. Thank you God!
- I was so happy to be reunited with relatives I had not seen in many, many years.
- All the stuff that’s been going on in my family, makes me stop to pause and appreciate how important they are to me.
What are you grateful for today?

Quick Photo Tip ~ Capturing Emotion~
May 28th, 2010 · creativity, photography, quick tips
Life is such that we all have good days and bad days. Happy moments, so so moments, and plain leave me alone moments. I equally love to capture the leave me alone moments. These moments can produce powerful images. Images that let us more deeply into a person’s true character. I’m all for happy pretty posed pictures, but that is not real life. To stretch yourself creatively, I suggest looking for real raw emotion and capturing that, wether that emotion is pure joy or absolute sadness. They may turn out to be your best pictures yet!
Happy week-end!

Reflection and 365 Shot

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson~
self-timer, shutter speed: 1/80, aperture: f2.5, ISO: 200 shot around 5:30p.m

Grateful Monday
May 24th, 2010 · Grateful Mondays, life
I hesitate more and more to write these Grateful Monday posts. They somehow feel wrong. My dad has cancer. We got the news a few weeks ago. It also somehow feels wrong to write the two previous sentences. (I like to keep things positive, on this blog.) Witnessing a strong proud man look defeated and sad, breaks my heart.
Amidst the whirlwind of emotions, the shock, the sorrow, how can I feel any gratitude? That too feels wrong. It’s guilt you know. My heart says, “you can’t be grateful or happy now. He’s miserable!”
My head says, “It’s not productive to anyone or my dad to sink down into misery too.” And so, I will march on, give all my love, my support, take it one day at a time and yes, search for gratitude, and notice the beauty that surrounds me.
