This is the sixth time that we have gone out for Nuit Blanche – an all night outdoor art extravaganza that takes over the city from 7:00pm to 7:00am. About a million people pour onto the streets of downtown Toronto to catch as many outdoor (some indoor) art installations as possible. I love Nuit Blanche […]
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
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. This space actually enhances the subject or the story that the picture has to tell. Here is another shadow cast, this time on the wainscotting in the

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. Suddenly my kitchen
I am in another Photo challenge, so there will be more pictures and more blogs and of course I am knitting; but very busy at work. This particular photo challenge is to take 5 pictures in a week and then to choose one of them and write a blog about it. Crazy Quilt Here is
I have been fascinated by Lynette Meek’s painted knitting. The link is to her blog where she posts lots of information and by the way, she has a booklet out now on how to paint your knitting. I decided that I had to try some painted knitting, since I have a very nice chunky alpacalicious
