Memories of the beach

Week 13: Photographer’s Choice

To close out the year, we’ve loosened the reins on our usual compositional guidelines. Instead, I’m posting one of my favorite photos of the year. Early morning, at the beach, all is quiet but for the “plunk”-ing of rocks being thrown in the water.

Please visit Who We Become to see the images that 17 other photographers (and dear friends!) have selected to end 2013.

The Day the Trains Took Over

Week 12: Curved lines

This week’s compositional theme explores curved lines… much like the curved train track spanning our living and dining room this week, always leading back to our little guy.

Please have a look at other interpretations of this theme at our collaborative blog, Who We Become.

Under the Bridge

Week 11: Diagonal Lines

“Under the bridge, and over the dam, looking for berries, berries for jam.”  Well, doesn’t seem to be any jam here, but certainly plenty of diagonal lines, which suits this week’s theme.

It’s always shorter on the way back

Week 10: Horizontal Lines

Well, not always. This week, our project focuses on horizontal lines.  The looooong stairwell to the beach has more horizontal lines than I could count.  The  climb perplexed young B. as well.

Dinner Out

Week 9: Lines

This week marks a new monthly theme for the blog circle: lines of all sorts. Leading, horizontal, vertical, diagonal…  I’m kicking it off with an image that incorporates leading lines, taken during our lovely weekend vacation on the coast, when we went out to dinner at a very popular seafood restaurant. After waiting outside for almost an hour, we were excited to get inside and see what all the fuss was about.
