Unlocking New Doors
I’m sitting at my desk, looking at these pictures, singing “This is freakin’ fun, this is freakin’ fun.” Though many of this morning’s experiments didn’t work (the filter didn’t work with my other lenses, so I couldn’t put “WONDER” on the mountain), I’m still so excited about my ability to put words in my world.Continue reading “Unlocking New Doors”
#SoCS: Resolve to Dissolve
Today, in response to Of Maria Antonia’s 2022 Weekly Photo Challenge prompt “A New Year,” I tried something I’ve been thinking about. Using the same clear plastic that I used for my “snowglobes,” I created a filter with written words and put them in the world. This opens up so many possibilities, an exciting discoveryContinue reading “#SoCS: Resolve to Dissolve”

#SoCS: Everything is yummy when you give it away.
Today’s prompt, altruism, inspired me to finally make an open hand bokeh filter. I like how it turned out. Then I had fun filling it. Stream of Consciousness It’s stream of consciousness Saturday. The prompt for today is “yum.” My family gathered for gift giving last night and my mother made the most delicious strawberryContinue reading “#SoCS: Everything is yummy when you give it away.”
Do You Hear What I Hear?
A few days ago I realized that Bells managed to get on my prompt calendar twice. I thought about replacing it, but then I concluded that I hadn’t done much with the bells filter I created the first time around. I had some fun detailing my bells with pieces of label stickers. New Poem TheContinue reading “Do You Hear What I Hear?”
#SoCS: Nostalgia for Opposites or the Opposite of Nostalgia
Last night I made a candle filter. I thought I would try it with the fisheye lens technique to create flickers of nostalgia. Stream of Consciousness It’s stream of consciousness Saturday. The prompt for today is “opposites.” In my experience opposites attract, but today I am more interested in nostalgia and its opposites. Living inContinue reading “#SoCS: Nostalgia for Opposites or the Opposite of Nostalgia”
I Hear Hooves on the Roof
This morning I cut a new filter. I made a reindeer and I really like how it turned out. I had so much fun making reindeer fly around outside. New Poem There’s a fun prompt over at Poetic Bloomings today. Prompt #364 – The Muse in Music challenges us to pick a Christmas song titleContinue reading “I Hear Hooves on the Roof”
#SoCS: Mistletoe and Other Tree Parasites
Yesterday I discovered a new technique through another happy accident. I left my lights on after the shoot yesterday, and noticed how they reflected in the glass of the sliding door as if they were outside. I used that to create bokeh in the trees this morning. It’s a great discovery for taking outdoor bokehContinue reading “#SoCS: Mistletoe and Other Tree Parasites”
Goodwill Toward
It’s fun to have a mix of specific and abstract words for prompts. When I think of “bells,” I have a specific image in my mind of what bells look like, but what does “Goodwill” look like? I had fun exploring different ideas. New Poems Today I’m going to continue to explore Rest, Sleep, andContinue reading “Goodwill Toward”
