Improving My Photography Skills

I’ve been using a camera for a long time.  I started off with 35mm cameras, taking my first photography class as a summer course when I was in middle school, and taking Photography as a project all 10 years that I was in 4-H. I got my 1st SLR (single lens reflex) camera when I…

Open Class

The county fair starts this Sunday, which means that I’m working on gathering things up to exhibit in Open Class again. Between the pregnancy and Mildred showing up. I’ve hardly had time to do much in the way of crafty projects in the last year.  I do have a couple of quilts that I haven’t…

#Project52 – A Portrait

I just realized that I haven’t told all my lovely blog followers that I got my hair cut recently.  It’s been hot and humid around here for a while now, and I’ve not been able to do anything with my hair, so I had it all chopped off.  It’s similar to the cut I used…

#Project52 – Nature

I was supposed to write up a post with photos from nature for this week’s #EverydayProject52 post. But when I got home, I found out that our outside kitten, Geordi, died today. Matt found him out by the road. So, I don’t feel much like sharing photos of bright flowers. Instead, I thought I would…

#Project52 – From Where I Stand

From where I stand, clutter is a symptom of a creative mind. The walls in my office at work are covered in art and inspiration. I even have a shelf full of fun toys – I swear I don’t play with them at work – that make me happy to look at. Of course, my…
