New Projects…

IMG_3932-1 copy

Even though I was thoroughly overwhelmed with keeping up with Picture the Holidays I have started the next workshop called Picture Winter. Now that the holidays are over I am much more comfortable spending time on a photography project and I still like a daily prompt.  Many of my Picture Winter photos will also be showing up in my other new project…

Inspired by the blogs 3191, A Year of Mornings and habit…A Collection of Days,  my daughters and I started a photo blog on January 1st where we will try to contribute a photo and a short statement daily. There the focus will be embracing our daily lives and celebrating everyday beauty. I’m sure it will become hard to keep up, especially for my very busy daughters, but we are off and running and I think they are enjoying it for now.  We are still working out the kinks but we can be visited at OXOXO

Besides this I will be starting another online Kim Klassen photoshop class this month…I think a lot of this class will be a refresher for me but at my age I need all the refreshing I can get in hopes that some of sticks.   So it may be cold and snowy outside but I have lots to keep me busy as I hibernate this winter.

VERY EXCITING, Oliag! More than one pot brewing makes for many delicious stews. ;o) I love the fiber/textures in focus in these photos. Happy Creative Days ((HUGS))

I like your idea of "Picture Winter"! I can always use a good prompt as well. Lovely photos.

I'll see you in Kim's class!

Ditto to all the above comments!

I love the idea of a daily log of life through photos. I'm afraid my life is much too boring and mundane to give me subject matter for 365 days straight.

I love your first Project Winter images! Best of luck with all your new endeavors... isn't it fun to start a new project, to learn and to grow? :)

I love that you are doing this project with your daughter. It reminds me of my friend's blog Spread your Wings. Have you ever theirs? It will be fun to get to know your daughter, too. Happy, happy new year, my friend.

Your photo blog is great...the cups pic is wonderful and so "you".

I'm loving that scarf in the first pic here. Did you make that?

Relyn Lawson said...

Oh, I want to take one of her classes. Maybe next time...
