Today’s assignment was to creatively use a frame in our photo. I saw an entry on the Flickr Blog recently where people used Instax instant camera photos as “windows,” so tried to do something similar with my cell phone. It came out OK, but it is definitely easier said than done when trying to line […]

I didn’t plan on signing up for a photography workshop during the holidays — I figured I’d be busy enough — but I’ve found that I have been slacking and haven’t been taking any good photos lately. I guess I’m not very good at motivating myself, or at least, I miss the daily prompts from

It’s kinda boring, but I really liked this photo. I love the glow of the moon in it. I tried to take some more creative shots through the trees, but they didn’t come out all that well. They looked pretty awesome through the viewfinder, and it frustrates me that I can’t get the photos to

Today on Shutter Sisters, we were asked what our focus is right now. Like the author, my focus is often on capturing my son (and cats’) everyday moments.

But, in the future, I plan to revisit the assignments I feel I “failed.” Yesterday’s assignment was to capture the magic of a Halloween costume.

Today’s assignment was to photograph sweet treats. We don’t have candy (no trick-or-treaters), so all I had in the house to work with was the pumpkin bread I baked last night. Yum. Maybe I should have also photographed the delicious pumpkin pancakes I had at IHOP tonight, too. So good.
