For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “cat,” I wasn’t sure what to do, because my kitty friend is too cute to be scary and too independent for costumes. So I had to put extra thought into this one. I woke up in the middle of the night and the power was out. After rummaging around andContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 14: If I Were Me Dancing in the Rain”

#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 13: Haunted Surrender
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “ghost,” I changed the eyes on one of my ghost filters and got out the creepy children figurines. Then I thought it might be fun to try some shots from outside in to capture some ghosts on the furniture, so I hung some lights in the window and went outContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 13: Haunted Surrender”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 12: An Ode to Tortured Love & Frogs
Today’s Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, is “frog.” My nephew told me that my next bokeh filter should be a frog a while ago. I’m glad I finally made it. I like how it turned out. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt is “ode.” The 2018 prompt was “Tortured.” I like the contrast of writing a tortured poem ofContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 12: An Ode to Tortured Love & Frogs”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 11: A Darkness Falls
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge,”night,” I had some fun creating my own starry night in the daylight. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt, “horses,” took me by surprise.

#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 10: Walking on Air with a Wisdom of Owls
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge “owl,” I woke up with owls on the brain. Then I ate them, so I had to look for more owls. I found a parliament in the bedroom closet.

#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 9: #SoCS My Skin is a Lid Twisted Tight
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge “blood,” I played with some fun color filters. For the image above, I used a red lens that screws onto my camera lens. When I put on the red lens, I forgot I was also using a color filter built into my camera that captures everything in black and whiteContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 9: #SoCS My Skin is a Lid Twisted Tight”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 8: Moments of Madness, or Clarity through the Fog
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge “fog,” I jumped out of bed and was rewarded with a little morning fog on the lake. I love the pareidolia of a giant ghost bat in the trees over that mysterious light in the water. I love how a photograph through the fog made this house look like aContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 8: Moments of Madness, or Clarity through the Fog”
