Open: the chess players in Washington Square Park. Always inviting you in, always up for a game. Also, let's give a little shout out to the sharp-dressed competitor.
Please head over to Who We Become to see everyone's interpretation of this week's theme.
Hidden. At least, almost. Please head over to Who We Become to see everyone's work this week.
The film camera came out last weekend - I love the retro vibe this expired stock gives to our first warm day of the year. Still need some practice, but I'm having fun when I use it.
"Mommy, I'm wearing short sleeves AND short pants!" Good times.
Sometimes old things look new again when seen in a different light. Or no light, as the case may be.
"The paintings were good, but I'm more of a sculpture kid."
Audience. Who do we shoot for? How do we modify our choices based on our anticipated viewers? These are the questions we are considering in our initial conversations on Artistry over at Who We Become.
As I mentioned in my biographical post last week, city images are a particular love of mine. When I go out to shoot it is with the hopes of capturing something that will intrigue other city-lovers as well. I admit, this particular image was shot with my friend Elaine in mind. She is a runner and her icy instagram posts of her early morning runs on the West Side motivated me to get out there and check it out for myself.
Our first One post of 2015 is up! A favorite of the month - one for fun, one for the heart, one to share. Mine is an outtake from my adventures in the snow. Experimentation gone awry or a little winter wonderland magic?
Please take a spin around our small circle and see what my talented companions have settled on this week, starting with my favorite expat Adele, down in Texas.
It's been a little quiet around here, with the gallery show and some unfortunate computer issues slowing me down. However, I got out for a little shooting in the rain today with my favorite sidekick and thought I'd share a few from our walk.
2014 has been a year of whiplash - incredible joys and shocking lows, all rolled into a twelve month period. I am excited to ring in 2015 in less dramatic fashion, though I do have high expectations from a photography standpoint.
After taking an informal step back these past few months, I am leaping into the new year with a gallery show, an exciting return to a challenging 52 week collaborative project (more on that soon) and a renewed desire to get behind the camera to document more than my personal world. You may notice a bit of a facelift on the site itself - a work in progress, but the sleek new look is the work of Nick Norwood. He's a talent and a pleasure to work with.
As always, I am grateful for the love and friendship of my amazing "One" circle participants, as they offer support on matters ranging from the camera to the heart and everything in between. And speaking of the heart, it was this perfect moment between my son and my sister - imperfectly captured in a dark restaurant earlier in the month - that stole mine for this post.
Please head out to Washington to see how my dear friend Krista is closing out the year and continue around our small circle. Wishing you a happy and wonderful New Year!
A little holiday spirit for this week's hiatus post. Please head over to Who We Become to see some other weekly favorites.
Who needs a Christmas Tree Farm? We've got the sidewalk in front of Rite Aid.
Please stop on by Who We Become for more hiatus fun.
We are gearing up for our next project over at Who We Become, but rather than let our perfectly lovely collective blog grow moldy until the new year, we will be posting a hiatus project. There is no theme, no rhyme or reason, just images that we want to share.
For my first hiatus post, this solitary figure caught my eye as evening fell. Please head over to the blog to see what the rest of our group has seen recently.
I fear this may have been the last of our warm afternoons for a while. Playing with film.
