Webpage Blues
I didn’t put up my usual Monday post and I thought I’d put up an explanation. I was working in my webpage. I’m still in the process of renovating so please mind the dust! On the advise from a friend, I use Wix for my webpage. I know I have WordPress for this blog but […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Something that Doesn’t Belong
This week is one of those odd-ball challenges: Photograph Something that Doesn’t Belong
I think I’m tapping back into my childhood and remembering a bit from the children’s show Sesame Street where they show a series of objects and challenges the children to find the thing that doesn’t belong. I can even hear the song in my head “One of this things doesn’t belong..

I know not everyone is in the throws of winter, but we all like to think warm and comfortable thoughts. This week’s challenge is to photograph something comfortable and cozy.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Interesting Light
This week’s photo challenge is a lighting etude. Photograph Interesting Light.
Sometimes photographers look for a subject first – what we’re going to photograph – and forget to look for the light. Light is the medium of photographers – it is what we use to create photographs. Being able to see and use light is fundamental to photography….
