Week Six: Seeing light in black and white

At last, the snow arrived!  Two of the great things about living in Brooklyn:  We have no car to dig out of the snow, and we have an easy walk to one of the most gorgeous parks in the world.  All of Brooklyn seemed to be out on Long Meadow on Saturday.  B. and I went sledding — the first time for both of us! We had an amazing time. A truly memorable day.

This is our blog circle’s second week exploring black and white photography.  The circle is comprised of a group of incredibly talented photographers and wonderful people that I’m delighted to call friends.  You can start it with Kennedy Tinsley’s beautiful work.

Week Five: Seeing Light in Black and White

This month, our blog circle begins a new theme: Black and white photography.  The circle is an amazing group of photographers — and wonderful friends — who explore a different theme each month by posting once a week. You can start the blog circle with Stacey Leece Vukelj’s beautiful photography, also in NYC.

Week Four: Indoor Natural Light

Soon after my husband proposed, he said we’d live in a home with fresh flowers and fresh fruit.  He has been true to his word.

I’m “auditing” a fantastic blog circle. Start the circle here at Kami Chaudhery’s beautiful photography from Seattle.

Week Three: Natural Light Indoors

B. has been reading “Harold and the Purple Crayon” over… and over… and over.  It’s inspired some drawing of his own.  (With apologies to Lisa Rigazio.)

To start the blog circle, check out Jill Cassara’ beautiful work.

Week Two: Natural Light Indoors

In our second week exploring indoor natural light, I noticed B.’s hair fresh from his nap.

I’m “auditing” a fantastic blog circle that’s truly worth enjoying… start the circle with Julie Kiernan‘s beautiful photography from Minnesota.

Week One: Natural Light Indoors

New year, new project! For the next 52 weeks, I’ll “audit” a wonderful blog circle that focuses on a different aspect of light every month. This month, the theme is indoor light.  I’m kicking off the project with several experiments:  with self-portraiture, with my new camera remote, with photographing in the bedroom.   Technical results are… meh.  But looking at these photos, I can hear B.’s giggles and feel him in my arms, which makes me extremely happy.
