What's Next?

I find myself trying to decide what my next photo venture will be. I would like to learn more Photoshop skills, and I would also like to try some of those techniques you see in magazines and say, "I'd like to try that." In fact, I have two such photographs I plan on creating...and maybe now I'll have more time.

In the meantime, I am going through the archives and revisiting some of our work.
This photo is one my husband took, and it gives me the chills just looking at it again. What a thrill it was for him to fly in formation. A passenger, not the pilot, Daryl got some extraordinary shots of historic aircraft, reliving history.

We take photographs together, and enjoy the commonality of the joint interest, yet there are photos only he will take. This is one of them.

Dear Sandy, How wonderful my roses brought back your sweet memories. Thanks for your comment. I on the other hand have memories seeing these planes again. I love planes. Love to be in them too. My son wants so be a fly fighter in the army, he has lot's of these guys hanging in his bedroom...and my dad was in the airforce... so talking about old memories and those to come.

I highly recommend playing around with Photoshop. And just that, playing...sometimes it seems really intimidating to those who haven't tried it or know much about it. But I find the more I sample certain filters, photo affects, and layering, that I find a little magic that's unexpected. And you can find lots of help on the Internet if you google your question (or, of course, in books). Happy playing!

We do have a good time on our adventures. I was the photographer when we began dating...and I pulled him along with me. Now he loves it, too, and enjoys taking the wide angle photos. Much more into landscape photography, where I love the close-up, and macro. That helps when organizing all the photos we take!

Happy Week- being home and loving photography

Roamin Meets the GPS- Stories from the Road Lisa, my favorite Curious Girl , created a wonderful idea for a week of "happy" posts. Share those things which make you happy, bring joy to your life, and generally fill you with happy thoughts (I do love the movie Hook , with Robin Williams). We are just returned from our fabulous 23-day, 5600 mile, 10 state, 4 time-zone adventure, and I am filled with happy thoughts today. I am also aware of the piles of laundry, the dirty car, the grocery shopping, and the weary body. Those are not the things I'll share today! Today it's about the joy of road-tripping. The miracle that we live in such a country that everywhere you go you see something to celebrate. I love driving down the road and seeing something new, or different, or unexpected. We drove for a very long time across the upper mid-west, while following signs for "Wall Drugs." Apparently this is a historic stop, originally a place for those who crossed the coun...

Hidden Gem

Thank you, Georgia , for helping me focus on the hidden gem, the place we love to go and not be found. Not far from home...it IS home. We call it "out back," and once there we are transported to a private place, not visible from houses or road or the casual observer. I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.

Celebrating 100 Posts - A Challenge

Yes, we are closing in on our 100th post . Truly amazing. Thank you for reading and participating, helping keep the ideas, words and photos flowing. In honor of this momentous occasion, let's have a party. A party where "100" is featured. Do not become concerned if an idea doesn't pop into your head right away. You have one week to come up with something which includes 100 . Think party, celebration and fun. Think creatively. Think challenge. Photography is about expressing yourself, and challenging yourself. Here's a real stretcher! Celebrate with us by posting a photo (or series) which depicts the number 100 in some way. Let me know if you're going to participate and I'll create a way for everyone to link to each other's pages - chuckling, laughing, crying and surprising. You'll be amazed what you see when you start looking. Still at a loss? Here is a non-exhaustive look at the number 100: 100 years ago (something nostalgic- there's wigg...
