Let the Music Play

Let the Music Play

I know I have said before how much I enjoy strumming my guitar. It makes me smile to think about the first time I held it and wondered if it was too big for me. I wondered if my fingertips would ever not be so sore. I wondered if I would be able to actually play a tune that people could make sense of. I am happy to report the guitar fits me nicely, my fingertips have recovered and I can play music that people enjoy. I am so glad to have this instrument in my life.

Color Inspiration **Red**

fruits of red

I was looking through my Flickr photostream and noticed the colors I shoot most often. One of them is red. I love the fire and vibrance of red in food, flora and clothing. It constantly inspires me.

I have a challenge for you.

First, pick a color. Now, for the rest of the week, go around and shoot everything you see in that color. What I like about this concept is the inspiration it has for future projects or series of work. So, go ahead, get to shooting and please share a link to your color inspiration in the comments.

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose

pink rose diptych
I am trying to stay on track with the Diptych project, but this month has proved to be rather demanding of my time. Even still, I have been enjoying the inspiration coming from the Art Slam Flickr group. The diptych above was created using my Lensbaby Composer. I also have the Macro Kit filters which allow me to focus from 2″ to 13″ from my subject. I love them to pieces and I am really enjoying shooting manually again.

I love these two images together. Bokeh is the theme and I think it fits the diptych theme perfectly.

Vibrating with Passion and Love

passion & love
Passion and love…they go together so well, don’t you think? My theme for this diptych is red. When I think of both of those words; passion and love, I think of the color red. Passion and love are full of energy and warmth. I did not think this when I created these two pieces, but seeing them together, they have a certain vibe that covers quite a few areas of my life. I will take that feeling any day!
