Picture Fall ~ Keeping it Simple
In thinking about today’s challenge to keep things simple, photographically speaking, and in playing with light, I wasn’t immediately inspired. Up until today, I’ve had the tickle of an idea pop into my head after reading the daily email from the Picture Fall course instructor. But today, I felt empty. Perhaps it was the 11-miles […]
Picture Fall ~ After the Fall
As I shared with my fellow Picture Fall classmates, this image makes me feel a little exposed and uncomfortable. These are the poor curled remains of perhaps my favorite flowers this summer – vinca. Surprisingly, our flower gardens held up remarkably well given that we were out of town for at least 3 full weeks […]
Picture Fall ~ Subtleties
Today’s photographic invitation was to capture some subtle aspect of the season, with specific attention paid to the monochromaticity (I think I just made up that word!). Ironically, I’d already had this outfit selected and set out. I always love the rich warm colors of the fall. There’s something about a rich chocolate brown that […]
Picture Fall ~ Little Reminders
It was a rough morning. No, the kids weren’t screaming, I didn’t burn my toast, and I wasn’t bothered by the crystals of frost clinging to my windshield. Even the fact that we were running about 10-15 minutes behind schedule wasn’t unsettling to me. It was pure, self-induced exhaustion. My eighth graders are reading The […]
Picture Fall ~ Morning Light
So I find it interesting just how much I’m learning about myself as a student through these Picture Fall photography invitations. For starters, I want to know the plan ahead of time. If you haven’t noticed, many of my posts are late at night since I don’t usually get to snap the picture until the […]
Picture Fall – Beauty Challenge
I must say…today. was. perfect. After knitting an entire hat for my daughter last night between midnight and 2 am, I groggily fell into a wonderful state of sleep until a glorious 7 o’clock. At the gentle urging of my dear husband, I climbed out of bed and set off for an early morning training […]
Picture Fall ~ Get Comfy
For those of you who think we teachers live at school, here’s evidence that we don’t! I’ll admit, I’ve been in my classroom far too late at night or far too early (say those mornings when an unexpected sick child warrants a day at home with Mama), but when I’m not in my home-away-from-home, I […]
Picture Fall ~ Leaves
As I’ve shared with my students, I have a passion for all things creative – especially writing and photography. I passed on Picture Spring and Picture Summer, but something about the routine of taking a daily photo and receiving a daily email with a simple task an invitation to capture something true and real through […]
