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.

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.

Style Imitating Art Inspiration: Ali Ibn Hamzeh Shrine in Shiraz, Iran
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.

Week 7: Love
Welcome to week seven of my Project 52: 2019 Edition. If you’d like to see the prompts that I’m using, read this post. 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…

I hope you’ve had a great week so far. Things have been OK on my side. Not gonna lie, I’m so over this weather. One day it’s almost summer and the next it’s like winter is having a second life.
