Week #52 Photo Challenge

Walking Home

Hard to believe that it has been a year since I started this project. My intent was to give myself  motivation to get out every week with my camera - and it did just that. My commitment to this project gave me some sleepless Saturday nights wondering which picture to use, was it really my best one, would it convey what I was trying to say, and would anyone care. In the end it all come together. I have learned much about photography this year and enjoy having my camera in my hands more than ever. 

I would like to give a special thanks to all of the teachers that have helped me learn to see with a "beginner's eye" this year.

Kim Manely Ort , Lee Ashland , John Ricca , Keith Walklet, and 

Miriam Hall have all shared their love for photography and have helped me align my eyes, heart, and hands. These are truly generous teachers and amazing photographers.

I am not sure what comes next and whether I will continue with this blog. If I do continue, it will most likely look and feel a little different. Stay tuned to see what 2016 brings.

Blessings to you all - Louise

Week #50 Photo Challenge

Coronado Bridge

I've been down in San Diego for a conference this week. The Coronado Bridge caught my eye over and over again - loved how it looked at different times of the day, different lighting. I took this image early yesterday morning as the sun came up.

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever.... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."
