Look At Me | Finding The Moment

Posted by on Feb 21, 2012 in Blog, Photography | 3 comments   Do you wait for the moment to occur or do you work to create the moment? Both approaches create an image. Neither works perfectly all of the time. Imagine the little boy. Maybe two and a half years old. He’s at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, perhaps for the very first time.

Be Inspired | Weekend Reading

Posted by on Feb 18, 2012 in Blog | 1 comment Project 365 is a very personal project. We each come to it with different intentions. We fill our year with photographs of our life. Some of us create scenes. Some of us capture things as they occur. Personal projects help move our photography forward. We learn something about our relationship with our camera as we learn something about ourselves. In other people’s projects I find...

My Grandma Pushes My 365 Project

Posted by on Feb 8, 2012 in Blog, Personal | 11 comments If my Grandma was still alive she’d be 100 years old. She grew up during the depression, raised her family of 8 on what they could scrape together. She was widowed young and supported her family on her own. She didn’t have the luxury of luxury. I understand why very few photos exist of her life and my own mother’s life. I would put my camera down if I knew I needed to find a...
