Pax loving the beach
and
the rotten fish...

PS: the rotten fish came back to haunt us a little later in the car...not so cute :)

feminine inspiration



reading and loving this book
at the moment

not a book i thought i would pick
but it caught my attention
and
working through it has been
very insightful.

i'm inspired by the writers:


some of their statements are really talking to me:

"embrace your contradictions"
"radiate your aliveness"


Beach



i'm taking you along on another
magnificent winter morning walk...






Landscapes...


some of the landscapes
i shot last week
after an inspiration failure

4 parts to the assignment

1. Under the leaves


2. an abstract landscape, no sense of scale


3. a landscape including myself, no portrait


4. change the obvious - slow shutter speed -

i ended up loving it :)


Retail therapy...

online retail therapy
to get unstuck :)

Yay!



Happy Friday!

PS: the Photogarage landscape outing went really well... will share some next week!

this week's assignment: portraits...
part of the exercise was to
photograph someone outside my immediate family.

Carina kindly agreed
to be my model and was so good at it!
thank you so much!



my shots are all
slightly underexposed...
will need much more practice!
