I honestly cannot remember the last time I got up to see the sunrise. I tried this morning and missed. To be fair, this is the only morning I tried because I thought this week’s prompt was food. I’m not ready for that one either. At least I have another week to prep for that…
Week 22: Negative Space {#OurProject52}
This week’s theme is negative space. One of my favorites. I think because I spend so much of my day thinking and working on so many different things that I like having my eye focus on one thing at a time when looking at photographs. It’s kind of calming. Therapeutic. Even if the topics give…
Weeks 20 and 21: Silhouette and Framed {#OurProject52}
I’m behind two weeks, so I’m having to double up on the pictures and raid the vault. Between emptying the old house, living in a hotel, and then moving to Georgia, I haven’t had my camera out in an incredibly long time. I miss it. This week’s prompt: Silhouette This was taken in my living…
Week 19: Motherhood {#OurProject52}
Motherhood. I never knew that I could be so very brave and so very afraid all at the same time. Raising children is not for the weak, man. For nine months, you’re walking around with this person inside of you, feeling everything you feel (and causing you to feel some of those feels) and then…
Week 16: Sun Flare {#OurProject52}
You know I’ve spent so much time trying to avoid sun flare that capturing it is now difficult. When I first picked up my camera, I used to get it all the time and I viewed it as a failure ~ my inability to control light. Now I see it all over the place and…
Week 15: Macro {#OurProject52}
I rarely do any heavy editing of my photos anymore. Most of the time I just crop and add my watermark, but something about these photos just begged to be black and white. I’m totally digging them. Do you edit your pictures? What’s your preference, color or black and white? Happy Clicking, Follow…
Week 14: Easter {#OurProject52}
All winter long I’ve looked at this tree standing in our front yard, all brown and gnarly. Sometimes I wonder if it’s dead and we should just cut it down. This year it took so long to bloom that I thought surely it’s time to let it go. But Easter morning, there they were, these…
Week 13: Spring {#OurProject52}
I live in the Midwest, so Spring means heavy winds, tornado sirens, lots of rain, and pretty dead things, with the occasional pretty living thing. What’s Spring like in your neighborhood? Happy Clicking, Follow Living Outside the Stacks on Bloglovin’! I’m linking up this post with Lipgloss and Binky and Everyday Eyecandy for the…
Week 12: Photographer’s Choice {#OurProject52}
This week’s theme is “Photographer’s Choice”, so I’m sharing a few of my favorite pictures and the stories behind them. The photo above is of my youngest daughter; she taught herself to play the ukelele. I’m so impressed and proud of her – she’s so incredibly talented. I love listening to her play. And from…
Week 11: Rule of Thirds {#OurProject52}
I had to go to the archives for these pictures because I haven’t been taking very many pictures lately. It’s been cold and rainy, I’ve been lazy busy. Even before I knew about the Rule of Thirds, I noticed that many of my pictures tended to skew towards the left side with lots of negative…
