Abstract Art Macro - In Brown

Since everything catches my eye as potentially photo-worthy, here's something from the archives I have been meaning to post. I tell myself I will find the perfect time, but when exactly is that? So instead of procrastinating and putting it off even more, here you go... I love the texture,

Nail Stamping & Nail Art? What's That?

Because of my love of all things macro, I was excited to see that Sarah had picked up a new hobby in nail stamping and nail art. What is that exactly, you might ask? Well, I wasn't entirely sure myself, at first! It's basically what you think it is, though

Trees In Winter

Whenever I go out, and especially during the dreary winter months, I am always on the lookout for trees to photograph. There's never an end to the different lines and shapes that trees have to offer. Sure, summer trees are full of great foliage, but that same beauty muddies up

Week 52 - Do Over

365 Days - 52 Weeks. At last we have arrived at the final week of 2022's Weekly Photo Challenge. Looking back over the year, there's been some great images created, and some that were not exactly my favorites. The point of the challenge though was not to create the absolute

Week 51 - Something Routine

There's something about the last few years... well, you know what that something is... that has thrown our routines into a complete tizzy. Things we used to take for granted, all awry. Now that things are starting to get back to normal (or some sense of what can be considered

Week 50 - Roll of 24 (First Click)

This week, let's go back in time to the days of film. Back when shooting film was the norm and not the exception, you would load a roll of 24 exposure film into your camera, and treasure every click. Spray and Pray was not a thing. Not if you valued

Week 49 - Shoot From Below

Most of the time, photographers usually shoot photos straight on. From landscapes, to portraits, most of what we capture is level to the horizon, so it's nice to change things up a bit and do something different. If you recall from a previous week, I had to Shoot From Above.

Week 48 - Animals

Truth be told, I was a bit lazy for this week's photo. I have been taking a daily photo of The Jupiter Kittens this year, and decided to use one of those photos for this challenge. Besides, I have not seen the resident rabbits lately. The squirrels are MIA, too.

Week 47 - Wabi-Sabi

For this week's photo challenge, I was supposed to think a little differently, and find beauty in an imperfect subject. Wabi-Sabi is from the Japanese and Buddhist teachings to learn to appreciate things that are not perfect, and that imperfection is not something bad or wrong, but can be beautiful.

Week 46 - Food Photography

If I am guilty of anything, it's taking a lot of photos of food. Yes, I am one of those people that takes photos of his meals, and then shamelessly posts them to social media for all the world to see. I'm sure it annoys people, but I don't care.

BKB Brews For Bitties - Nov. 2022

Tonight was the Bitty Kitty Brigade's 3rd annual Brews For Bitties at Forgotten Star Brewing. The Bitty Kitty Brigade is a foster-based rescue for orphaned neonatal kittens in the Twin Cities, MN and surrounding areas. It's the rescue that both Elara and Ersa are adopted from, and that I now

Week 44 - Chaos

Chaos - the absence of order. That's exactly what happened this week with the photo challenge – complete chaos. In my head, I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but for some reason, things didn't want to go smoothly at all. Maybe I put way too much thought

Week 43 - Details

I was quite excited to see this week's photo challenge, since I love shooting macro and detail photos. I could have probably taken at least a dozen photos, overwhelming all my loyal visitors, but instead decided that I would focus on quality over quantity, and settle on a single image.

Week 42 - Black & White Minimalism

Black and White + Minimalism are two of my favorite things to photograph, so you would think I would be super excited to tackle the challenge this week. However, it's the middle of October in the Northern Hemisphere, which means we're in the thick of autumn foliage season. And while the

Week 41 - Shoot Through Something

When I originally saw this week's photo challenge come up, I immediately remembered some previous images I created with this theme. The cover photo above represents some of them - shooting through frosted glass to capture an illusion of something on the other side... rain, a person, a tree, or

Week 40 - Rule of Odds

Odd, Odd, Odd. Nope. Nope. Nope. My OCDs don't very much like odd numbers of anything. I tend to gravitate to even numbers of even things. Sometimes, I am okay with the number 5, but only because it's 2 of 10 – two other even numbers. Yes, I am weird like

Week 39 - Letters

I'm sure you've noticed the cover photos from Unsplash for each post. It's a way to feature the work of other artists as they may loosely relate to the current post. I especially like the one I found for today - typeset letters for a printing press! Normally for these

Week 38 - One Light Source

For the photo challenge this week, I wanted to do something simple yet impactful. Of course, I wanted to have it be somewhat arty as well. Mission Accomplished! It did take a few tries to get it as I wanted, with the shadows. I love the result, though!

Week 37 - Celebration Time!

If you turn on the TV, or are on social media (like everyone is these days), it's impossible to not see all the National Day This or That. You really didn't hear about those things years ago, but now, every day is represented by something on the National Day calendar.

Week 36 - Golden Hour

Ask any portrait or landscape photographer what their favorite time of day to shoot is, and you'll get a nearly unanimous answer of golden hour. Why is that? Well, simple, because the light during golden hour is well... golden. Simple enough, right? What is golden hour? For those of you

Week 35 - So Retro!

If there's one thing I love, it's history. I think we can learn so much from our history, if only we took the time to study and understand it. Heck, let's just start with remembering history... even from a mere few years ago. People have such selectively short memories, which

Week 34 - Peace

This week's challenge photo is a bit more open-ended than normal. What do we mean by Peace? Literally, like a peace symbol (as in the cover image above), or something more open to interpretation, like a feeling of peace? I wanted to capture something that brought me a sense of

Week 33 - Water

Water. Wasser. Vaser. Something so simple, yet without it, we would all die. It's also majestic and amazing. I still have fond memories of looking at the ocean as a child, where the water went on forever. For thousands of miles nothing but water. Now though, I live in the
