Springtime Red ...


Today is the beginning of a new week ~ I took this picture last week in Towns Square ~ I loved the color, how it spoke to me, how it reminded me of what beautiful colors there are to come this Spring/Summer ... I love the cooler Spring-like weather - But I will take Summer weather, especially after the Winter we had - It felt like it was never going to end - As beautiful as it was, I am glad to see it in the rear-view mirror now ...

    Beautiful colors! I am seriously thinking about using some of your photography as a color scheme for my weaving. That would be interesting! :)

    Thanks so much, Sonja ~ You made my day by saying that my photography will inspire some of your weaving ~ Perhaps you could have a scarf called "The Kristine Scarf" ... LOL ... Just the thought makes me smile!

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Picture Frame Friday ...

So, These are the benefits of having your own blog - Usually, On Fridays it is Poetry Friday but I wanted to change things up a bit. I thought I would write regarding a question I have been asked quite frequently these days. How do I decide the a photo is worth taking? Or how do I know that it will be a good shot? I came across this photograph (above) and thought this would be perfect to help me explain. Many times I have an imaginary frame in my mind of what I want my photo to look like. Off to the left a bit, off to the right, etc - I also tape the LCD display before I go out shooting. I learned this years ago, and it has really improved my work.  (It keeps me shooting - An average shoot on any given day is approximately 100 shots.)This way, I do not waste time checking photos.
