Snow Days ...


Living in New England my entire life, you would think I would be used to snow. I love looking at it from indoors, just not driving in it. I do have a four wheel drive, so you would also think I would be fine with it, but each Winter brings on some anxiety.

 I took this photo in my kitchen window during our last snowstorm. The visibility was just as you see it, and I wanted to see how this would look. As I am sure you have figured out by now, I love playing with photography ...It brings me great joy!


What anxiety are you trying to let go of in the New Year?

    I always used to get excited about the snow, when my son was younger I would take him out to build a snowman - I think I was more excited than him. It would also mean no trains so we would get time off work. Now my circumstances have changed and having different kinds of responsibility means that it gets in the way. We've not yet had our cold snap that leads to snow over here in London yet...can't say Im looking forward to it, hope it passes us by and the warmer weather rolls in. Enjoying your photography by the way!

      Always nice to hear from you, Amanda -- I am hoping your Winter is short lived -- I agree, playtime in the snow is fun, but when the daily routine kicks in, it usually causes complications ... Thanks for so much for your nice words ...

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,...
