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!

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr...

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.

Restoration in the Works!

  The Ammi Wright House.  Built 1888.         Our town has some pretty remarkable older homes and businesses.  Many have already been restored and are residences and/or businesses.   We went to a meeting the other night which focused on how to go about restoring a beautiful old lumber Barron's home - the Ammi Wright house, just off the main street. It has been empty for a great many years and needs a lot of work to bring it back to life.  But this group of people can do it.   The building itself is already purchased as part of an agreement with the Gratiot Area Historical Society.  Located in a nearby town, they have purchased it and Alma will be part of this system.  We are now forming committees for all the areas which need to be addressed, including historical research, fundraising, publicity, etc.  Lots of work, and lots of interest.  There is a steering committee in place, and we all signed up for an area we feel...
