Good Morning Monday & Hello New Week!
How was your weekend? Did you slow down and treat yourself
to a siesta? Did you dig into a good book and spend time with your family?
I slowed the pace of my life for the weekend, soaked in the
feeling of doing less, read and played, and rested. (Of course, since I very
much belong in this age of busyness, it took me all my will power to shut that
voice in my head that urged me to pack my day with writing, work and
activities.)
I also decided to take the plunge! Finally. After years of
yearning and trying, reading and loving the images of those who can create art
in the everyday with their camera. So, next month, I begin my voyage into the
land of photography, taking one baby step at a time into the land of
Mom-Photographers.
I’ve been good with composition, but timid with the tech
part of photography. So, I’m hoping, that Beryl Ayn Young will be able to teach
me all that stuff that photography books and articles haven’t been able to.
If you’re anything like me and enjoy looking at everyday
magic, here are some links to roll over to, whenever you need a perk-me-up:
Laughter…the kind that’s from the heart and reaches the eyes, the kind that’s not at the expense of others, the kind that’s unbridled and loud and rumbling…that’s the kind of laughter I love to be part of.
Have you ever tried photographing your meals? I have, and
haven’t much liked how the images end up looking. So, I’ve been looking into
some know-how on taking gorgeous food pictures. Here’s a food photography tutorial that I’ve been enjoying.
I’m a fan of Lakshmi Arvind’s shots. She takes
pictures of everyday life and things around the house, and breathes magic into
them. Take a look.
What kind of voyage are your setting of on this week?
