It’s been one of those weeks, when my brain just can’t muster up enough functionality to string together enough words to form coherent thoughts let alone a entertaining brilliant blog post. Lucky for me, my camera can produce some pretty amazing shit without much thought.
Brian gave me this ring for Valentine’s Day a couple of years ago. The relationship didn’t last. The ring? Still has it’s uses. Some days I sit there with the morning light streaming in my front windows, creating some amazing lighting for some beautiful photos.
I bought these bracelets from Charlotte Russe for $1.49 at Christmas. Cute, cheap, costume bangles. They were on clearance, but when set in the morning sunlight, they look so much more impressive than they are. In fact, I posted this on my Flickr account and Lotus Carroll (Who’s photography I have admired for months now) favorited it. I was beside myself with OMG!
I was digging around in a friend’s basement this past weekend (that is not an euphemism for anything) when I came across an old ball and glove. Sure, it’s only January, but spring training will be starting in just a few short months. I got a nice surprise today, when I saw that Lotus Carroll had favorited this one on Flickr too.
Sometimes the things you drive by every single day take on an entirely different look when you see them through the lens of your camera. I drive by this antique store in our small town, at least once a day without giving it a second thought. But when taking photos for a theme (frames) I saw the simple words framed over the store front.
Again, looking at every day ordinary things through the lens of a camera can turn a simple drop or two of water from a kitchen faucet into something incredibly beautiful, and really kinda cool.
These are some gorgeous shots! You’re very talented with your camera!

@Avitable, Thank you. I try. God, someday I want to take photos like Casey does. She is amazing. But for now, I’ll start with these.
PS. Happy Birthday.

@Becky, I think you definitely have a very good eye! If you ever want to take nude boudoir photos of me, just let me know. It can be great practice. Heh.

@Leanne, Thank you. That last one was fun to do, not so much the taking of the photo, but the finding out I *could* take a photo like that.

They’re all great but the water shot is the money shot. The ring/dictionary shot could be a card for Vday!

@Kristen Daukas, Yeah, I’m not really into ‘money shots’ per se, but that water drop is kinda awesome. And the ring photo, my cousin, who is a professional photographer asked for it, she’s going to print it and hang it in her house. I am going to have a photo hanging in a professional photographer’s house. Booyah. LOL

@The Bipolar Diva, I like to play around a little. My cousin is a professional photographer, and she asked me if she could print the ring photo and hang it in her house. Of course I said YES. I have a photo in a pro photographer’s house. HA. LOL
