One photo a day challenge: Day 97. I love plants and flowers. But I am never very successful with keeping house plants alive. Maybe I am not good at following directions. Perhaps I am just not attentive enough. Or I may just not pay close enough attention. Taking care of a house plant seems so simple on its face. But there does need to be a degree of attention paid. I need… Read More

One Photo a Day Challenge: Day 87. I have at least 5 plants that I have successfully overwintered in my basement. If I hadn’t tried to overwinter them in my basement they would have died. I can tell that at least these 5 plants have been successful to this point because they are actively growing new foliage. I just discovered one that I had suspected would survive the overwintering had indeed survived…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 78. Recently I have been able to work part time from home. In our office I have a standing desk converter. Being able to stand at work at my desk makes being in the office much more bearable. After a couple weeks worth of working from home with no standing desk was taking its toll on me. It is beginning to look like an at least… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 74. I bought these carnations a while ago to use in this project. They are lasting a lot longer than I would have expected. I wanted to take advantage of them for some more photos before the blossoms do fade. For this photo I wanted to highlight the purple streaks at the edges of each blossom petal. To do this I got up close to the… Read More

When photographing flowers indoor I prefer lighter colored flowers because that requires less light, which there typically is less of indoors. The flowers I selected for todays photographs was a bouquet of purple carnations. To photograph the… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 43. Today I returned to photographing metal framing hardware. I started off trying to intentionally arrange some of the objects I hadn’t photographed before. Eventually I moved to just tossing pieces haphazardly on a canvas and photographing them where they lie. I think I am getting inspired to work more with materials like this. I will just need to acquire more interesting hardware. If you enjoy… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 42. Today I did something a little different for me. When photographing a subject from nature I don’t usually manipulate the subject for my photograph. If I’m photographing a flower I work around the structure of the flower to get the shot I want. Bending around the flower. I don’t usually bend the subject to my will. I try to allow nature to be free from… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 40. Today was one of those days I really didn’t know what I was going to photograph for my challenge. I wanted to photograph something from my office. The question is what? I felt kind of stuck today. I was looking around my office. The same things kept coming to mind. Looking at similar items that I have photographed before wasn’t helping me. I could photograph… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 36. I really enjoyed my experimentation with photographing bread recently. It has inspired me to try my hand at photographing more food. I like food and I like photography. It seems like a perfect combination. My goal is to create photographs of food that are more creative. For me creative means macro photography usually. And macro on a level where you might not be able to… Read More
