“Drops” “No Creative Energy” Today was a good day generally speaking. Erin spent the night here last night because she and Brooke had a catering job today. This meant that this morning I got to have breakfast with my baby. That was a nice treat. School was OK too; my Monday classes are fun and not too taxing on my brain, which is a good thing because my brain is really tired right now. In terms of photography, however, the…
“Laying It All Out There” How do the months pass so quickly? Today, being the first Saturday of the month, is self portrait Saturday. The goal of today’s prompt was to embrace and photograph our imperfections. As I thought about what to do with this, I realized how much I have grown as a person and a photographer over the past sixteen months of taking self portraits. This time last year I would have been overwhelmed by this prompt….
“Feeling Low” I personally am not feeling low, but when I looked at a stack of papers on my desk in which a piece of music was turned sideways, this poor little bass clef looked so sad. Though I have been looking at bass clefs for MANY years, I had never noticed their “un-smiley” face before. This made me chuckle. Today’s prompt had more to do with technique, achieving sharp focus than the philosophical ideas surrounding focus, but I had…
“Garden?” Confession time. At this very moment my garden is non-existent. I have dreams. I have plans. I have seeds. I have raised beds. I have had no time. I would love to have a bountiful garden this year. It makes me happy to grow my own vegetables, but right now I just don’t have the time to nurture a garden. The flip side of a garden making me happy is that if it fails, it makes me incredibly unhappy….
“Happy”
“When In Rome…” Today was a crazy weird day at school for both of us. By the time we got home, we both were a little worn out. Though I did give today’s photo some thought throughout the day, nothing interesting or creative really came to mind. I did discover that the highest setting on my metronome i 300, that Hymn 365 in the Episcopal hymnal is “Come thou almighty king” and page 365 of the theory textbook covers…
“Double Dose” Yesterday when I got home from school Adidas was not his normal bouncy self. He seemed to have trouble walking and would not go outside. As the night progressed, he whined every time that he tried to move, though he did get up for his dinner. We gave him a doggie ibuprofen and that seemed to help him sleep comfortably. This morning, however, he again would not get up and whined and cried when he tried. He also…
