My photography assignment this week was painting with light. We had two pictures to submit – one using a light source to paint either an abstract picture, words, or anything else into the camera. Different colours of light could be used as well as different materials over the lights to give texture.  I ended up […]

In my class last night we watched the movie “Baraka” as the theme was inspiration and this movie is where my teachers draws his from. It got me to thinking……what are my sources of inspiration?   My main ones are my favorite photography blogs which make me crave the life of a photographer – travelling, shooting […]

My last photography assignment was “wet”.  It could be anything to do with wet – implied, literal, whatever.  I had so many different visions but needed a model and that just wasn’t happening.  I was too busy last weekend to try to find somebody available in the very short time periods that I had.  If […]

Spring is FINALLY here!  I thought we were just going to skip this season altogether but the recent appearance of blossoms and sunshine are clear evidence that it’s finally arrived.  I love the change in seasons, especially from winter to spring because I am a sun worshipper.

I am LOVING this class and I already feel like it has taught me a lot.  Our first assignment is a self portrait […]

Because I am a spoiled brat, I got to go to Vancouver for a weekend away with my man last weekend. Technically it was a business trip but the term should be used very lightly.  We basically got to go out for dinner with a bunch of super rad people (for free I should mention) […]
