Day25: Time in a bottle

Posted on January 26, 2010

Today was a better day, still gloomy in many ways. I did have a fun evening attending a seminar by Mike Larson hosted by our local PUG group. He had some great advice for photographers. If you get a chance, go see him. The weather here is still dreary. Forecast is looking bad for the end of the week, but ice – if we get it - might make for some interesting photos and a work from home day!

I didn’t get to make a lot of photos today since I was at the seminar. This one is of a “micro encapsulated age-defying” potion….a.k.a. a macro shot of the mosturizer I use on my face. I like the way the light hits the little pearls of the “secret formula”. Wonder what’s in them….hmmm….probably more of the same stuff that’s in the bottle.

Day24: Rainy Sunday

Posted on January 24, 2010

I didn’t leave the house today. It was a dreary, rainy day. I sat on the couch most of the day doing a lot of thinking and writing in my journal. Things in life happen that we don’t understand. Things happen we have no control over, even though we wish we did. Things happen that hurt us. We feel the pain, but we can’t lose hope. There’s always a chance things will work out like we hoped and dreamed. Are my feelings reflected in my art? I don’t know. Am I revealing to much of myself? I don’t know that either. Only one person truly understands……..

Day23: Fog on the lake

Posted on January 24, 2010

When I woke up this morning it was very foggy. When I checked Twitter, there was a tweet by Scott Bourne about how to shoot in the fog. I decided that was a sign I needed to get out and shoot. It amazes me the way the fog can make you feel. Sometimes it has a mysterious quality because things seem hidden in the mist. Sometimes it is gloomy and turns the real world to black and white. The bluebird I came across as the fog was burning off threw a little welcome color into the otherwise gray morning. I couldn’t pick a favorite today.
