Against the Wall {This or That Thursday}
This week I hit a brick wall creatively. All the photography memes have fallen to the wayside. And I have nothing left to say. I don’t know if it’s seasonal melancholy. What happened to the springlike weather I was bragging about just last week? Or if I just need to put the camera down and walk away from my blog for a week or two but I’m drawing a blank. Have you ever had a moment when your brain was absolutely positively blank? How did you get your creative juices flowing again? I’m linking up with Deb from Deb Duty Photography for This or That Thursday. If you’d like to…

For this picture I used the Solitude Texture by Kristy at Life~n~Reflection. This is my first time using a texture in Photoshop. Love it!

Photography Challenge {One in Thirty}
Hmmm… I think I’ll call this one “Monkey Love”. Truth be told, that is the ugliest monkey ever created but I love monkeys, so I had to have him. I merged a picture of Jasmin that I took yesterday with a picture of the monkey that I took this morning to form the picture you see above. I then cropped it, autocorrected the colors and added an Orton effect with Vignette. I’m linking up with Shauna at Mist and Lilies for the One in Thirty Photography Challenge.

Photography Challenge {One in Thirty}
So today is it. The first day of the One in Thirty Photography Challenge. Yay! The goal is to take a picture of the same prop in different settings every day for thirty days AND use Photoshop to manipulate the settings and expressions. Yikes! I am so not a Photoshop expert but I know I need to become more adept at it’s use especially now that Picnik is going away. The theme for today is Winter. So I merged my prop, Jasmin, with a snow scene that I took last month. I’m not totally thrilled with the outcome but I think it’s pretty good for this being the second time…

Photography Challenge {One in Thirty}
I promise this is not becoming a photography blog. I promise I will start writing again. I promise to dig deeper. But sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and sometimes it really is just a little bit more fun… And speaking of fun, I’m going to be participating in another photography challenge! It’s called “One in Thirty” and it’s being hosted by Shaunna at Mist and Lilies. If you haven’t seen her photography, you should definitely check it out ~ stunning! Anyway, the challenge is to pick a prop and photograph it in different settings (more detailed rules are posted below) for thirty days while using Photoshop to…
