My blog was having an identity crisis. A photography blog. A life blog. A blog called “In a Snap” didn’t make so much sense to me anymore. What I really wanted to write about was how my life has changed. How my struggles strengthened me. How I found yoga and meditation and mindfulness. How writingContinue reading “Wildflowers & Wings”

Paradox
Now that I’m feeling like myself again, it seems like there aren’t enough hours in the day. So many hobbies, so little time. I want to read and knit and write and learn. I want to organize my desk and decorate for fall. I want to photograph and craft. I’m better when I’m busy, butContinue reading “Paradox”
Into the Light
I lost myself for awhile. It’s been four years since I last posted. Four years since I felt like myself. But here I am, still standing. Standing stronger and lighter and more filled with love and hope than ever. I didn’t know how much I was in the dark until I climbed back into theContinue reading “Into the Light”
View Master
I have a bin with old cameras, lenses, and filters. I only sort of knew what was in there, having been given a few over the years, and never having had a close look at some of the smaller items. Yesterday, while trying to find my Gorillapod, I started opening the cases to see whatContinue reading “View Master”
Sand and Stones
When winter drags on (and on), I have to get creative to find subjects to photograph. It will be weeks before the snow melts and we are able to see the sand on the shorelines. So I lose myself in indoor activities: reading, knitting, writing, and making pictures. This weekend, I played with sand andContinue reading “Sand and Stones”
How this Happened
I brought my camera to my parents’ house when we went over for supper on Sunday. I had been wanting to for awhile, to wander through my dad’s workshop and my mom’s sewing room to see what sort of art I could find. I never did make it to the sewing room, as I gotContinue reading “How this Happened”
One Thing Leads to Another
I have a small collection of vintage cameras, one of which is this art deco Kodak Bantam Special: I started off photographing it as is, admiring its cool retro style. Then I decided to open it up – I wasn’t sure if I ever had – and see what I could capture of the lensContinue reading “One Thing Leads to Another”
A Mermaid’s “Tale”
It seems that as soon as the calendar turns to a new year, I begin looking forward to spring. Spring means eventually the (several feet of) snow will melt and I will be able to find my way back to the beach again. Since I can’t get to the beach to search for sea glass,Continue reading “A Mermaid’s “Tale””
Sweet Find
I found this book accidentally at the secondhand book shop and couldn’t resist picking it up. I’ve got it on my bookshelf now, but first I had to take a few shots. The first picture was almost an accident: I set up my tripod with my macro lens, and focused on where I had leftContinue reading “Sweet Find”
One Magical Morning
On Sunday morning, the trees looked like this: We had had freezing rain the day before, and the angle of the sun was lighting up the thousands of tiny frozen drops. I hadn’t even noticed at first, having had my coffee and done some marking for school. Then, when I was doing dishes, I lookedContinue reading “One Magical Morning”
