ok you guys…

I need your opinion.

I have seen some people conform blogspots into website looking stuff. I just can not justify the expense of a web designer right now (at all) and so I’ve been feeling sorry for myself. My husband knows some stuff about building sites, but not much. Plus there are just so many other costs that go into it. So we decided to use a blogspot for our photography business until we reached particular goals.

BUT, I’ve not been happy with it, at all… So, knowing nothing about anything, I went in there this weekend and played around with parts of it. Then today I sat down and worked on the rest… Can you go there and just look around and tell me if it looks ok? I realize it’s still a blogspot so it’s going to have SOME blog characteristics but I tried really hard to make it a least bloggy as possible…

here it is…

This was a really hard challenge, honestly. The problem was primarily that I practically live behind the lens of a camera. What haven’t I photographed??? {Which is exactly what my husband asked when I told him of this weeks challenge.}

For days and days we’ve brainstormed… In fact, we had a nasty run in with maggots in our dumpster and Genny had the bright idea of them being my new subject.

You are welcome- I couldn’t do it…

Then, we were out for a drive and it hit me!

Train Stuff…

Granted, I’ve done engagement photos for clients there, and senior pictures… BUT my subject was never the train (or train stuff) itself. It was merely a backdrop, if you will. So, technically new…

So, tell me what you think…

And then, for more amazing photographic contributions head here…

This weeks You Capture Theme is Peace…

I had every intention of going out and having a spiritually renewing and wonderful adventure while doing this project… unfortunately home renovations over the weekend sort of destroyed my neck and I’ve been unable to do much of anything. I almost didn’t participate but then, on Wednesday, I had the worst afternoon.
All at once I felt like my heart was breaking and I couldn’t breath. By means of distraction, I decided to work on a Seasons photography project I’m piecing together for a montage. I shot this last summer during an engagement session. I’ve always loved this photo, but when I sat down with it earlier, I felt myself flooded with peace and longing. I wanted to sit there and be. Just be… It seemed to emulate peace when I needed it the most so I feel mostly ok posting it…

We are having a yard sale. I am holding down "the fort" solo, for awhile. Its such an odd idea- yard saling. Both sides are a little wierd. I mean, as a society, we are ok with perusing the unwanted belongings of a complete stranger OR having them manhandle & molest our stuff.
I stop at a sale, now & then. As a whole though- I am not a fan. Honestly speaking, however, I would really like this one. :)

The truth is, I simply want my coffee table more and this is my "sure- I will sacrifice this for that coffee table" sale…

Wish me luck!
