Candle on the sill….

Silly me ….silly camera….or both.  I have been struggling with negative space for a few days so I decided that I had to “set up” another picture. There I was in my dressing gown (it’s becoming my work uniform), in the morning, in the dark, realizing that I had to light a match, to light […]

Negative space…

This is the photo challenge for next week – to create photographs exploring negative space. Negative space is everything in a picture that is other than the subject.

Morning Light

These photo challenges have definitely forced me to look at “things” in a different way. For example this morning I was thinking about “the picture” and where I would go to take it, when I realized that there were some interesting light patterns on the walls and the appliances in the kitchen.
