After a break, Ellie and I are back with our everyday moments collaboration. February was a good, yet quiet, month. I'm starting to climb back out of the creative winter slump, though I had to keep reminding myself that my camera was just sitting on the shelf and I should really use it. It isn't always easy to get back into the rhythm of regularly taking photographs. Though, it isn't easy to constantly be creative and artistic, either. I'm moving into the career field of graphic design, and while it's terribly exciting, there's a part of me that's scared witless because of all the creative energy that will be required. It's funny, you never know where ideas come from, where creativity comes from. And tomorrow? Who knows when or where or how tomorrow's ideas will come. I suppose taking it one day at a time is the only way. As for today, it involves messy braids, writing a paper, and soaking up the sunshine...who knows what tomorrow will bring?
How was your February?
Beautiful pictures! I think it's awesome you want to pursue graphic design. For me, writing is something I really want to work on. I know all that hard work is going to pay off though! Hope that inspiration starts to flow in soon!
ReplyDeleteaw. cute! Lily's "begging" face is adorable.
ReplyDeleteFebruary has been a mixture of busy and relaxed. It's been crazy, but exciting.
mesmerizing b&w shots!
ReplyDeleteThe begging photo of Lilly made me smile. You have the cutest little sisters. :)
ReplyDeletegirl, these pictures are gawgeous! february was quiet for me too. cold, quiet, winter-y, but very good for the soul;-) there was lots of teas and writing and blogging and teas and teas. and coffees. and brownies.

Love these pictures so much! and I'm so glad that you guys are back into the collaboration! :)
ReplyDeleteMy February has been great thank you! Very busy though because we are moving house soon! Scary...
ReplyDeleteI love the last two pictures! How did you get Meme's body in full light while behind her is completely black?
thanks! MeMe was sitting in bright, direct sunlight, so I exposed for her body. since it was so bright, the background faded to black.
Deletelove that first shot -- it's beautiful. great post! my february has pretty much just been all about setting up my etsy shop. it's my first attempt at a business. so hard, but really fun, too.

This just makes my heart happy. Especially MeMe drawing on the table, and Lily's sweet begging face. Do you ever say no to that? I don't think I could. ;)

The last set of photos are stunning. I love them!
ReplyDeleteYou will do well in graphic design. You have a creative mind, and you have already built a wonderful portfolio!
ReplyDeletebeautiful work. love how you utilized light :)
ReplyDeletelovelovelove the first & third. seriously amazing moments captured there.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on going into graphic design, too. (: we'll see where that takes both you and me, eh?
and I totally know what you mean--one has to actually search for artistic moments sometimes. we have to remind ourselves that they don't always get handed to us.
My favorite thing about your photography is how it captures the moments that normally would have passed by unnoticed. By the way, I'm ridiculously jealous of the immense cute-ness you have available to you every day...and my heart couldn't possibly resist that begging face :) *awww*

p.s. do you happen to remember what Lily was pleading for?
I think she was wanting to play angry birds ;)
