Tulip Girl ...


Some nights I like to browse the Internet in search of the photograph that will speak to me. Some nights I find nothing at all, other nights I come across pictures like this. The signature at the bottom says "Sofi" but I have no idea where it originated from. I have had this as my screensaver, for quite sometime. I love how the tulip leans down and creates her skirt ... Love how she is not totally defined, but she is whole. Just love everything about it ... What captures your attention? A nice photograph? A painting? A song? I would love to hear your answers ...

    I love this photo...so artistic,so feminine,so creative...
    what captures my attention?...Hmmn...A single melodious songbird, a leaf, a delicate flower with the light shining thru' from behind... Colour... a single raindrop glistening in the sun... a sunset, a rainbow that can appear from out of nowhere,fill the sky then disappear...pure magic!

    I think everything could capture my attention, it depends...Sometimes it's a photo, sometimes it's a song or a person, I never know. :)

    What a stunning photograph. At first I thought that was her skirt, I did not realize it was a tulip. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

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. It forces you to save that work for when you return home. This way, you are not deleting pictures that may please you on the computer, but not in the camera. Hoping these tricks and tips help you,...
