I took out my Lensbaby Sol 45 this weekend and practiced taking images of some new succulents in my garden. I continue to struggle using the manual focus but I do think that I ended up with some nice shots.
Week #9 - A Break in the Rain
After what seems like weeks of rain, we finally had a break this morning. I decided to take my camera outside for a welcomed change of scene.

Week #4 - Seeing Objects
“One should photograph objects, not only for what they are, but also for what else they are.”

Week #3 - Finding Time For Creativity
“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.”
RIP Mary Oliver
I often feel like there is little time in my daily life to carve out space for creative endeavors. For me the best way to capture some time is to simply schedule a class . Whether a week long class in Paris or a half day class in my home town, making this commitment to my photography brings me great creative happiness.
