Mid-summer's Soire

{click on photo to enlarge image}
Being part of a larger picture, such as the Blogosphere, has created opportunities for interesting adventures. One of which is the challenges issued as far as types of photographs to capture, and another are the "get-togethers" planned by one or many. Tomorrow, Kendalee is hosting a mid-summer's picnic, and all are invited to attend. I will be out of town and will be "fashionably late" in attendance, but others will be right on time, I'm sure.

So I use this photograph I took while enjoying another part of my "job" as photographer, shooting high school dramatic productions, by way of replying to the invitation, and showcasing just one more way you can become involved with photography. This also models another creative outlet for the students, and is much more interesting than shooting portraits, in my opinion. I do photographs of the cast members, and a cast photo, but there's a whole different feel to this type of photo shoot. More energy and creativity, I think.

I hope to see you at the picnic, and back here. I will be gone on a little adventure in just a few minutes, returning Thursday evening. For those of you who will miss a Black and White post this Wednesday, don't worry. Next week will be worth waiting for.

OOhhh, I love that picture. The first thought that came to my mind, strange as it may seem, is "That would make a wonderful jigsaw puzzle!"

It WOULD make a good jig saw puzzle:). Maybe I can offer that option in my sales pitch.

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...

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...

Adventure Spots - Ours and Yours

It's June. Officially a summer month, and one I have always loved. It's also a time when I start thinking about having an adventure...to some beautiful, place more distant than my town. Last summer we had a wonderous trip through the western national parks, and spent a little time on the Oregon coast. The Columbia River gorge is beautiful - lush and exotic, fragrant, and heady with motion and sound. The waterfalls are astounding - and we love Multomah falls particularly. There's an upper and lower falls, with hiking paths for those who want to get up close and personal. The regular tourist path is paved, and leads you to this footbridge, spanning the cliff walls between upper and lower falls. Stunning. Where is one of your favorite adventure spots, and why does it touch your soul?
