  Even D. has not escaped my prying lens. I captured a few shots as he was working on the wheel a couple weeks ago, and I think they look gorgeous in black and white. I love the smooth look of the clay against the rough textures of towel and brick wall...

  Some of the outdoor shots of the church came out better, since there was a lot more light to work with. I loved how everything about this building seemed ancient and worn, like I was stepping back into another century. But it was a real piece of work...

  This week, I took my camera down to an old local church building and talked them into unlocking the main sanctuary for me. It’s an amazing room but has been abandoned for decades. The walls are starting to crumble, the stained glass is puncture...

  To complete my photography homework this week, I went wandering off into the Tinicum Wildlife Refuge after work on Sunday. Despite my work clothes and not-so-sensible shoes, I trekked down a path to this beautiful wooden bridge suspended across a sm...

  As D. and I redesign my work space, we are improving my photo setup too. He’s re-working my homemade lightbox a bit, and I went out and bought a professional photography background for just about $35. I’m eyeing up some camera tripods on ...

  Last night my dad and I had a big long talk about my beads, photographs and the challenges with my digital camera consuming half-a-dozen double-A batteries in every shoot. Then today, my dad was out and about when he spotted a hot lil’ Casio ca...

  Here’s another pick straight from my Etsy favorites: an amazing pair of petal earrings by Esdesigns. She’s a popular seller on Etsy, and no wonder! Just look at the details of those veins and how she captures the organic feel of the plant...

  …Is reading about delicious food in bed. Although I suppose it’s all a wash if you get so hungry you have to get up and make a midnight snack! If you need something to drool over, I highly recommend Tartelette for mouth-watering photos ...

  Alright, folks. A few hours till Tuesday. So you know what I’m going to say. Go out there, wait in that line, pull those levers (or push the buttons, if your state has joined the 21st century), and get ‘er done. If you have any problems, ...
