THE AGELESS STYLE LINKUP Hi, welcome to the Ageless Style Linkup.

Style Imitating Art Inspiration: Buttons by Dani Vaughn-Tucker
ABOUT STYLE IMITATING ART Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. My main tip for participating is not to just look at the colors but look at the textures, think about complimentary colors, etc. In other words, you don’t have to be literal your interpretation. It’s all about looking at the items in your closet in new and creative ways — mixing colors and patterns and just having fun. INSPIRATION ART WORK I took this picture waaaaaay back in 2012 when I first learning about photography. I look at the image and I see all the technical errors, and I cringe but I love…

Style Imitating Art: Ali Ibn Hamzeh Shrine in Shiraz, Iran
Hi, how was your weekend? Ours was OK. We didn’t do too much. A bit of grocery shopping, that’s about it. It’s been rainy and cold here, so we didn’t really feel like going anywhere.

Week 8: Winter
Welcome to week eight of my Project 52: 2019 Edition. If you’d like to see the prompts that I’m using, read this post. This week’s prompt is Winter. I know this isn’t a typically winter scene, but it is our winter. SOOC I took this at the SkillsUSA Competition at my school. I’d never heard of this until last week. Welders from different technical schools in the area came to our school to compete against each other. They take a series of written and welding skills tests – it’s so very cool. From what I understand, the nursing students also compete against each other in much the same way. EDITED…

Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge This is a photo from the archives, but it’s one of my favorites. You can see other images from the Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge by clicking here. When I lived in Missouri, I used to go to the mill to think. And take pictures. Back then my photos relied heavily on editing rather than skill. I can see the difference between how I shot then and how I shoot now. I wish I had the opportunity to go back and shoot again. I…

That being said, these pictures were taken during the summer because the weather has been way too flaky to try to take some new ones.
