Whimsical Wednesday ... Flying High



~ Reach, Seek, Look and Dream ~ 
~ These Words Resonate With Me ~ 

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, I am a part of Jodi LeBrun's Share-A-Palooza - I have been flying high (like the girl in the above photo) with creative energy ~ I love connecting with other women that love the arts. I have met women interested in so many things - Coaching, Photography, Writing, Cooking etc and we are only halfway through the week ~ I look forward to seeing what else Jodi has in store for us ...

When was the last time you were flying high?

  1. Every time I create I feel like I'm flying high! The inspiration, the need to materialize those feelings and ideas in my mind is wonderful! For me, that is the best!

  2. Yes, I feel this every time I see your work, Sonja - I go through the same feelings when I have a new writing idea or a new way photography idea!

  3. The last time I was flying high happened just this past week, when I managed to pull out of a nose dive. The portrait painting was looking like a dasaster, when somehow (?) she started to look pretty good. After she was all finished my main emotions were flying high !

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,...
